#029 The dangers of driving an electric vehicle. What does your
car say about you? We name the cool cars driven by discerning
drivers and pour shame the cars driven by dorks, which one are
you, petrolhead or prat? Plus how the Daleks plan to rule F1,
and exclusive new music from Gary Numan (sorry that should read
Barry Numan).
Barry Numan’s Underground Navy
- My Car's Electric
I toyed with buying a Toyota
But a hybrid's not my style, oh!
I like electronics, calculators
Fuel is expensive if you pay by the mile
The fuel cell is for fools,
Hell, I'm not sure if it will even work!
I don't want water in my exhaust pipe,
Even if my car's a Merc
Hydrogen sounds like an option
A way of staying in motion
Though, like you I must admit,
I'm worried about an explosion.
I've decided to buy myself one of those little
electric cars,
I know it’s not large,
But at least I'm exempt from paying
The congestion charge. Oh!
(Bonus)
My automobile’s electronic, it sometimes
produces sparks
My car’s electric, I'm gonna recharge it, when I’m
down in the park.
The underground car park, there's socket there
so I can plug it in
and recharge it, it takes about 6 hours
My automobile’s electronic, it sometimes
produces sparks,
My car’s electric, I recharge it when I’m down in
the park.
I gonna buy myself a G-Wiz
It's environmentally friendly, costs little cash
Up to 30 mph, I hope I don’t crash.
It’s cute and small and friendly it's frankly fantastic
Just like a Sinclair C5
It’s mostly made of plastic
It’s iconoclastic, oh!
I’m having trouble with my BMW 5 series
It’s the I-drive, the graphical user interface
I'm telling you, this is serious.
iDrive, U Drive
iDrive, U Drive
Oh! in a vain attempt to fight pollution,
I'll turn to technology for my solution.
Now that car’s are electronic, I'm going to get mine built
by Moog or Ensoniq.
Mine's broke down...
