The Race

Artist: Dancelife

Album: Universal Latin 1

Song Length: 3:08

George's Thoughts: This is a very unusual song, with the theme about racing and the car race sound effects in various places. Touch of rap in the vocal treatment, but it works nicely with the Latin musical flavoring. The music and vocal styling is quite varied so it never gets monotonous.

Song Lyrics:

Shout! (shout!)
Count on me I'm gonna win The Race
Count on me I'm gonna win The Race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong

Now shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south

Not any track is turning but The Race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad

Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on its way

Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait

Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue

Not any track is turning but The Race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
