In December 2004 I gave this song to my grandfather who was in his late eighties back then. He listened awhile, nodded his head, stood up from his wheelchair and started to dance for the very last time. Then he tripped and fell on the ground and died a few days later, still wearing a smile on his face. When he was buried I left a Hellacopter-Record on his grave, just to make sure he will never get bored.
This is one of the Best Rocks songs ever! Perfect Voice AWESOME Guitar just HELLACOPTERS!! Im so mad that the Band makes no new stuff. I love this Band one of the Best Rock Bands Ever i think so!
I love the lyric "Put me on the Thunder Express and let me feel the heat". Originally a reference to The MC5 I think? Then Strings' band ultimately called itself "Thunder Express". Nice. Great song.
Cream Of The Crap Vol. 1. The story behind the song as I heard: The Copters had a spare day in Oslo and visited Euroboy's studio. They jammed out some riff, everybody went for a drink, except Nicke which stayed in the studio and came up with the lyrics. Then the rest returned and they recorded it. Everything in one day.
Euroboy plays the intro lead guitar and the ending solo. You can easily hear his guitar sound signature (mid-Turbonegro solo sound)

This can be found on Cream Of The Crap Vol. 1, a compilation of rare songs (that were originally only released on 7" vinyl or so).
I highly recommend it, almost more than the normal albums by them - great songs from the first six years of the band.

It's, like, someone took a handful of pure rock'n'roll and molded it into this song. Five stars.
