Here him come, here come Speed Racer; him demon on wheels
Him demon and him chase after someone
Him gain so better look alive; him busy rev up powerful Mach 5
And when odds against and there dangerous work to do, you bet life Speed Racer see through
Him come fly as him gun car around track; him jam down pedal like him never come back
Adventure wait just ahead
Go, Speed Racer; go, Speed Racer; (Frankenstein) GOOOO! SPEEEEED RACERRRR! GOOOO! (see my previous entry)

One more thing...This song DEMANDS a variation by Tonto, Tarzan, Mr. Miyagi, Cookie Monster and Frankenstein. (Remember SNL's "As World Turn"?) I still haven't gotten over their priceless versions of "Here Comes Peter Cottontail," Poe's "The Raven" and "Away In a Manger." Can't you just imagine...? (see my next entry)

I wonder what footage from the "Burnout" series of video games would look like set to this tune. (They used the Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated" to superb effect in that game.) Also, perhaps, various car-chase sequences from the James Bond movies...and/or the movie SPEED.

Cool shit
Speed should be in the next Tatsunoko vs Capcom game.
Thumbs up if you agree.

Sadly Speed Racer has died...Speed Racer has been silenced.
Peter Fernandez, who voiced the iconic character in the American import of the 1960s Japanese cartoon and who also wrote the lyrics to the indelible theme song, has died.
He succumbed to lung cancer at 83, according to the Anime News Network .
Rest in peace.
