Default Ode to the M96: “50 Ways to Lose Your Motor”

While reading, "6 Ways to Keep Your M96 Engine Going Strong", I thought about Paul Simon's song - "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover". As I listened to that song on Spotify, I couldn't help but substitute some of our M96 common issues into that song. Ok ok ok... I admit it, it's cheesy... just got bored at lunch today and started typing. Enjoy...

Ode to the M96
“50 Ways to Lose Your Motor”

[Verse 1:]
“The fears are all inside my head” Gnat said to me,
The matter can be explained if you…
take it logically!
“Jake might help ‘reconstruct’ her but it
won’t be free.”
There must be fifty ways to lose your motor

5CHN3LL said it's “not my style
to intrude” (coughs)
“Furthermore, I hope my words won't be ignored or misconstrued,
but I'll grade your compositions with a deadly mix of sarcasm and shrew”
There must be fifty ways to lose your motor
Fifty ways to lose your motor

[CHORUS:]
Smoke out the back, Jack
Metal in the pan, Stan
It’s not a cheap lil’ toy, Roy
It will bring ya to your knees.
Gonna need to take a bus, Gus
It will make you cuss much
Never lose your key, Lee
Or a major tow fee!

[2nd CHORUS:]
Oil startin’ to drip, Chip
Lifters makin’ a tick, Rick
Water pump in the sump, Chump
Just listen to me!
Got a crack in your head, Fred
All plugs are dead, Ed!
‘Intermix’ is like blood in the pee, Bree
Milkshakes are never free.


[Verse 2:]

Cuda said knows all too well about the dreads of bad chains,
and wished there was something that he could do to diminish repair pains
I said I appreciate that
And would Macster please explain
About the fifty ways…

I thought I just sleep on it tonight
And maybe in the morning, if I’m lucky, I’ll read another Sneaky/Martin Fight
But then it hit me…
And I realized Gonzo was right
There must be fifty ways to lose your motor
Fifty ways to lose your motor


Repeat chorus

I'm a 996 noob, having just purchased my 40AE a week and a half ago, but I have to say, this is very funny! Nicely done.

You should get Jake to do the voice over ? Marty on percussion?
If this gets out to the general car-buying public ,the M96 values will plummet.
It should be removed immediately.
Just kidding.
Absolutely brilliant entertainment.
How does it sound with a B3 Hammond accompaniment ?
Then you could post it on You Tube !

hahaha... naw... The B3 is a screamin' rock instrument... it would take away from the subtle humor of the song.

But you have an awesome idea...

Imagine Jake singing lead and playing guitar (like Paul Simon) and Martin on drums in the background. hahaha

Everybody else on 996 Rennlist (as a choir) comes in on the chorus. hahahahahaha!!!!!

I think I just spew'd my drink!

This is amazing and should be the 996 Rennlist anthem.

I can probably find a MIDI of the song and run it through my synth for a really crappy RL karaoke version...

While it's not my style to intrude, I rather like your new etude.
