The original was by Ronnie and the Daytonas (copyright Buckhorn Publishing, Inc.) and the GTI version was by Freaky Fritzy and the Autobahn Screamers (copyright VW of A).

You ought to see her on the road course or a quarter mile, This little modified Pon-Pon has got plenty of style. She beats the gassers and the rail jobs, Really drives them wi-i-ild. Come on and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out, GTO. Wah-Wah, Little GTO. Yeah, Yeah, Little GTO. Gonna save all my money and buy a GTO. Get a helmet and a roll bar, And I'll be ready to go. Take it out to Pomona, And let 'em know, yeah, yeah. That I'm the coolest thing around, Little buddy gonna shut you down, When I turn it on, wind it up, blow it out, GTO. Wah-Wah, Little GTO. Yeah, Yeah, Little GTO. -Joe Pokorny (ihnp4!nwuxc!pokorny) -- _____ /_____\ Have you hugged your beagle today? /_______\ Snoopy |___| ____|___|_____ ihnp4!ihuxl!seifert
