Men andTheir Noisy Machines



VRRRRROOOOMM!! There's lots of background noise backing the Jan & Dean-esque tunes on "Hot Rod Rally", a lot of which sounds like runaway lawn mowers to ME, but what do I know. There are ample opportunities for crass and sophomoric jokes with this album, what with song titles like "Woody Walk" and some guy singing about how his car "puts out". My favorite tunes were by Hot Rod Rog, whose AM announcer rendition of "Repossession Blues" either exhibits clinical depression or terminal boredom.


There are even some helpful definitions on the back cover, for those of us not "hep" to this "jive". Who could have guessed the Hot Rod definition for "bad news":

I think this might be the best record i've never heard.

The best of both worlds...cars and music!

Thank you. Nice to hear some car engine noises with the music. Now I need to find a record that has sounds of lawn mowers.
