Picture the scene; a small village pub where a young couple are enjoying a quiet drink together before going to tell her parents that they’re engaged to be married. They hear a low rumbling in the distance that gets steadily louder, to the point where their small wrought iron table starts to shake and the barely-twenty somethings grab their drinks (he a pint of Strongbow, she a delicate rosé from California.) All of a sudden, a sports car comes drifting around the tight corner spraying dust and pebbles all over the couple, cracking the wine glass and shattering one of the decades old front windows. The car screeches to a halt and a lithe, dirty blonde-haired man wearing leather pants, a sleeveless white tee, and shades alights, walks over to the couple, says “Push the envelope, don’t sit on the fence!”, retreats, climbs back into the driver’s seat, and shouts “I’M IN LOVE WITH MY CAAAARRRRRRRRR!” before gunning it, spraying more pebbles, and a starlted vole, into the carnage he’s already created. As the car speeds off into the shattered still of the countryside, the license plate “MEDW$” can just be made out as it shrinks to a dot and vanishes.
If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it “Don’t sit on the fence” or possibly “Why didn’t someone buy Rog’ a rhyming dictionary?”
Today’s episode covers another Roger car song, this time from “Innuendo”. That’s right, we’re covering “Ride The Wild Wind”.
NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev’s manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 36:03
