| Q: | Does anyone know who the guitarist is on the John Mayer "Route 66" track? It really sounds like blues guitarist Jimmy Vaughn, but there are no details on the CD insert. (from Cheryl in Australia) |
| A: | John Mayer plays the guitar on that track. (thanks to MusicMan, Arab, Alabama) add more info |
| A: | I really don't think thats John Mayer either. It sounds like either Jimmy Vaughn or Kenny Wayne Sheppard. I can't decide. That sound is one that really is hard to duplicate, I've never heard a John Mayer song that sounds like it, and suddenly out of the blue, he sounds like SRV. Don't think so. Anyone else know? (thanks to Kat, USA) add more info |
| A: | It's definitely John. He's a phenomenal guitar player. He's surprisingly a significantly better player than Jimmy Vaughan. If you don't believe me get his live CD "Try!" and listen to the song "Out of My Mind" Some amazing blues guitar being played there. (thanks to Joe, Illinois) add more info |

| Q: | The credits, and this page, list "Elvira" as being in the movie. Another website lists the composer, and it turns out that it is indeed the same "Elvira" that's sung by the Oak Ridge Boys. But I don't know where the song is in the movie. I'm pretty sure it's not the version sung by the ORB; that would have been noticeable. So maybe it's an instrumental version of the song or something. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks! (from Navihawk in VA) |
| A: | The song itself does not appear in the movie, but it is quoted in the scene where Lightning is paving the road while Mater is talking to him: "...boy you should have heard me on 'giddy-up-oom-poppa-mow-mow!'..." (thanks to Andy Page, Salisbury, NC USA) add more info |
| A: | Thank you so much, Andy! I should have known that; I've seen the movie enough times that of course I know that scene. That was the only song I wasn't sure of, so at least now I know where every song (or part of a song) is in the movie that's listed in the credits... (thanks to Navihawk, VA) add more info |
| A: | Actually he says "You shoulda heard me get low on the oom papa mow mow... chicks love it when I get low on the oom papa mow mow" (thanks to Chepa, California) add more info |

My....
Chrome doesn't have a mind
To know what it's showing you

Bet what I'm gonna do?
Jet black window down
Rolling the rhythm out
Drum! Where's it coming from?
All you be thinkin' bout
Boom! Comin' from the bass
Breakin' the bar to bits
Bam! Music in your face
Trippin' the hypocrites
Flash from my chariot
Pumped up and bumpin' it
Psych! Spinners in the wind
Ain't no comprehending it
Flame never be the same
Once I get next to you
Game over in the lane
Hear the exit calling you
Fear View
Looking in Your Rear view
But the thing that scared you
Was Bigger'n it appeared to you
