The lyrics are laughable ("Got my foot pinned to the floor/ You can feel the engine roar/ I got thunder in my hands/ I'm metal thrashing mad, yeah/ Metal thrashing mad, yeah"), the guitars and drums speed along at cartoonish breakneck speed and vocalist Neil Turbin spends most of his time hitting notes only dogs can hear. Still, this one played a crucial role in the then-burgeoning metal scene. A classic.
