MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Tomorrow’s date back in 1998…

Metallica released a song

every dad with loud car speakers

was required to crank: “Fuel.”

(Music Cut #2)

Metallica didn’t just write

a song about going fast.

James Hetfield basically turned

his love of custom cars,

speed,

and engine culture

into a riff.

(Music Cut #3)

And a couple years later,

“Fuel” went exactly where it belonged:

NASCAR.

The song was used

for NASCAR on NBC…

because Metallica had written racing music

without even trying.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire.” – Metallica
