Custom 1964 GTO, interior view.See the script on the dash that says "Fearless Boogie"? That is from a
ZZ Top song called "Fearless Boogie". In the song, they reference a
Pontiac. Here are the lyrics...
Call me a pretty boy
They call me a saint
They call me a sinner
It's gonna be the same
Now I'm not afraid
And I'm not afear
I ain't gonna lose it
And I'm not scare
To do the fearless boogie
To do the fearless boogie
Smokin' fearless boogie
Until it's gone
They call me a Pontiac
The red in my neck
They call me a Cadillac
They call me a wreck
Now I'm not afraid
And I'm not scare
Now I ain't gonna lose it
No, I'm not afear
And do the fearless boogie
To do the fearless boogie
Smokin? fearless boogie
Until it's gone
(third verse not given)
They call me a lover
They call me a fool
They call me a winner
They call me a mule
Do the fearless boogie
Do the fearless boogie
Smokin? fearless boogie
Until it's gone, gone, gone
(ad lib)
The song appears on the ZZ Top album called "XXX" which was released in 1999.
