Round round get around
I get around
Yeah
Get around round round I get around
I get around
Get around round round I get around
From town to town
Get around round round I get around
I'm a real cool head
Get around round round I get around
I'm makin' real good bread

I'm gettin' bugged driving up and down the same old strip
I gotta finda new place where the kids are hip

My buddies and me are getting real well known
Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone

I get around
Get around round round I get around
From town to town
Get around round round I get around
I'm a real cool head
Get around round round I get around
I'm makin' real good bread
Get around round round I get around
I get around
Round
Get around round round oooo
Wah wa ooo
Wah wa ooo
Wah wa ooo

We always take my car cause it's never been beat
And we've never missed yet with the girls we meet

None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn't be right
To leave their best girl home now on Saturday night

I get around
Get around round round I get around
From town to town
Get around round round I get around
I'm a real cool head
Get around round round I get around
I'm makin' real good bread
Get around round round I get around
I get around
Round
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Round round get around
I get around
Yeah
Get around round round I get around
Get around round round I get around
Wah wa ooo
Get around round round I get around
Oooo ooo ooo
Get around round round I get around
Ahh ooo ooo
Get around round round I get around
Ahh ooo ooo
Get around round round I get around
Ahh ooo ooo

    Song Meaning:Wow! Never ceases to amaze me how deep some peoples' interpretations of these songs are! It's a song about being circa 17 - racing cars (probably hot-rods), cruising different places

    General Comment:Plain and simple its about street racing and having the crew with the fastest cars. Still holds true today. I love listening to this song while im out driving on a nice summer night in my SHO lol.

    General Comment:I read this somewhere on the internets:

    "This song is about an intentional vehicular homicide.

    'My buddies and me are getting real well known/Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone,' right boys? Maybe they’re staying away because you just killed their family and drove around town with their loved one’s remains dangling from your bumper, you sick bastards."

    I can't say whether or not the song is really about running people over with the cards, only that the "wah-wah-oohs" probably signifies police sirens, and it's not implausible that the couplet "We always take my car cause it's never been beat/And we've never missed yet with the girls we meet" could refer to 1) not having been overtaken in a police chase and 2) repeatedly marking their chosen victims (always female, just like the best serial killers!) with the tire treads of their mustang.

    Kurt Russell's character in Death Proof might have been based on Brian Wilson. In which case, Tarantino is a fool for not getting this song onto the jukebox in that bar scene.

    Just a thought.
