This song marked the beginning of the hot rod craze songs. I was as susceptible as the rest of my contemporaries. "Everyone" wanted a "four speed dual quad posi-traction 409."

Well - except me. Growing up around mechanic shops, I wasn't that impressed with the big brother to the Chevy 348. I think some of it was the Weird Valve Covers and that I figured it was a dead end engine with Chevy headed out of official racing. And I could see what Chrysler had on the horizon that was lot more potent.
