Vodka Collins, Pontiac Pan, Tokyo - New York

Vodka Collins perform a song "Pontiac Pan" from their glam rock chart hit debut album, 1972's "Tokyo - New York" on EMI records. This Nissin Power Station show was from their reunion tour of Japan in 1997. The band is loose, high and sloppy as usual, characteristic of their reunion tours.

Pontiac Pan-

Under the styrofoam stars
you're just one of the cars
but I love how you spark
like a flash in the dark
Heard aluminium Ace say
I'd flip out in space
He knows the bright highway skies
appeal to my eyes
He said Pontiac Pan
Firebird man you can ride it out all night
Pontiac Pan drive as hard as you can
Groove it til she feels all right
You can ride it out all night

Subterra paradise
electric emerald ice
god my lashes are loud
and I'm Lear jet proud
Saw Maximillian flyer
in her mental case
that little slippery queen
has a fabulous face

She said Pontiac Pan
Firebird man you can ride it out all night
Pontiac Pan drive as hard as you can
Groove it til she feels all right
You can ride it out all night

Get back cadillac, move out jack
here comes Pontiac Pan
Get back cadilllac, move out Jack
here comes Pontiac Pan, understand?

Pontiac Pan
Firebird man you can ride it out all night
Pontiac Pan drive as hard as you can
Groove it til she feels all right
You can ride it out all night
Ride it baby, ride

Funny! True!!

[thefistoftruth]

I love the disdainful face the lead singer makes tuning up at the start of the clip. Like he's disgusted with the guitar! LOL!
