It'll make your fillings rattle.

And I can say that, finally having received my first-ever fillings over the past few years. What is the "it" of which I speak? Why, the charming sound emitted from any car driven by a young man with hunormous speakers. (Yes, hunormous...similar to katrillion.) Anyway, these cars are, surprisingly often, total pieces of shit, yet they have boomin' systems that must have cost more than the car itself. I'm sure that "boomin' system" is hopelessly out of date, but I confess I have no idea what the current slang is. I do know that expensive, after-market wheels are called dubs, but that's the extent of my knowledge.

Anyway, these cars roll down my street with the bass up so loud that the entire tin-can-with-wheels--a rolling speaker holder, if you will--just rattles, sounding as if it might fall apart right in front of my house, or perhaps on the side street between here and the park. And I wonder, would I want to do anything that would make my car sound that cruddy? Probably not. But, in honor of them all, I excerpt here the lyrics to a wonderful gem (circa 1990) by L'Trimm:

CARS WITH THE BOOM

How many kinds, where can we start?
yeah
I like the ones with the pretty eyes,
Well i like all kinds of guys.
Stop. What happened, how about the ones we especially like?
Which ones?
You know the ones with the cars that go..
I hear you..
Hit it!

It was me and the posse with Bunny (G)
We were cruising in the Jag or the Lamborghini,
When lo and behold there appeared a mirage,
He was hooking up a car in his daddy's garage.
We stopped short, did a double take,
He was looking so fly, I thought I wasn't awake.
He was obviously hooking up bass, I assume,
But then he turned a little button and the car went boom.

We like the cars, the cars that go boom,
We're Tigre and Bunny and we like the boom.
We like the cars, the cars that go boom.
We're Tigre and Bunny and we like the boom.

We like them short, and we like them tall,
We like them one, and we like them all.
They're always adding speakers when they find the room,
Coz they know we like the guys with the cars that go boom.
And see my boyfriend really knows where it's at,
He's got 50 inch woofers all along the back.
He makes a comment on going to my room,
I'd rather stay out with his car that goes boom.
