Shout! (Shout!)
Count on me I'm gonna win The Race
Count on me I'm gonna win The Race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Now shut the door, keep down to south
Shut the door, keep down to south
Shut the door, keep down to south
Not any track is turning but The Race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on its way
Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue
Not any track is turning but The Race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Fire away!
This is The Race!
Why? (Why?)
Burn! (Burn!)
Shout! (Shout!)
Lies! (Lies!)
Give me The Race!
Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
I need this race!
Are you ever gonna push me, let me run and let me do
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue
Any track is turning but The Race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Fire away!
Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on its way
This is The Race!
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
This is Billy McKloski from Palm Springs reporting for NBC Sports of America
Twenty seconds to the start of the thirty-first Formula race on a hot
sunny afternoon here in California
On the fast lane of the street I'm driving
Sometimes, somewhere, I'm arriving
Every day and every night
Why?
I need this race!
Count on me, I'm gonna win The Race
Count on me, I'm gonna win The Race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Shut the door, keep down to south
Shut the door, keep down to south
Shut the door, keep down to south
Race in my head!

Absolutely it was in that movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPFBeyIHsPw I love this clip - it takes all the highlights. "Cutting Edge" is still one of my all-time favorite "feel-good" movies. When I'm having a bad day/week/month, I make a big pot of macaroni and cheese and tuck in with this movie. And my brother snorts in disgust and hides in his bedroom with CNN. (How I wish I was kidding.) That whole soundtrack is pretty awesome... |
| hencini | Posted: Dec 06, 2011 - 15:08 Cool song!! All I really knew from these guys was "Oh Yeah!", thanks to Ferris Bueller... : ) |

| nmcvaugh (Austin, Texas) | Posted: Jul 19, 2010 - 06:29 For some reason this tune just screams Leslie Nielsen. If he doesn't have his own theme music, this should be it. |

| Ahnyer_Keester (Chicago Il) | Posted: Jul 22, 2008 - 11:15 Oh no. I can't listen to this!! It was used as background music for a car dealer back in Southern California. Now it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. Do you think Yello could sue? |

Fox's "The Secret of My Success" during a seduction scene. Not an outstanding movie, but it had some hilarious moments. |
