- projektfu 6y agoDisco Mac.
- justinator 6y agoOr marching band.
- davidw 6y ago"Four on the floor" makes an appearance in the Beach Boys' "Little Deuce Coupe" She's got a competition clutch with the four on the floor And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid There's one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy I had no idea what Lake Pipes were: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_system#Lake_pipes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_system#Lake_pipes
