WHAT A RIDE! new music video
MyWhiteTV. WHAT A RIDE! music video.
Surprise! I didn’t think I would make another music video. But the song’s content seemed to beg for one.
My aim was to keep it simple. Happily, I found useful video clips fairly quickly, and the building of the video went very efficiently over big parts of three days.
Yes, “What A Ride” this life has been.
The song is all me. No pitch-correction. No artificial intelligence.
QUESTIONS and COMMENTS are welcome.
HERE’s the song only, as an mp3 file, for your phone or car’s digital stereo:
LYRICS
WHAT A RIDE
© 2025, 2026 JTLaffrey
V1
Mom and Dad made me in a ’57 Chevy.
True love, freedom machine, and the tune of a 283.
— Raised on a black-n-white tele.
Rocked by radio from the Motor City.
CHORUS
Oh My My
What A Ride!
Oh My My
What A Ride!
V2
1st love, or was it lust, in a jacked-up Buick Special.
Cruised to MTU and back, pedal to the metal.
— Sold it for a song, got a 280Z.
Flew with an Explorer and a Peavey.
CHORUS
V3
Big mistake, drove a Fiat X 1/9, to L.A.
Got my big break – down — only half-way.
— Reached the City Of Angels.
Found it full of devils.
BREAK
I’m White, so tv dreams could NEVER come true.
I started going gray before I knew the ‘why?’ is the jew.
LEAD
PRE-CHORUS
— Now, in my Element, I’m still having fun
Saying HELL NO to smart cars and smart phones, and YES to my son riding shotgun.
Yeah, I’m too old for fear, too young to give up.
CHORUS
CHORUS (final time: “All My Life, What A Ride”)
OUTRO (group: “What a Ride” 8 times. Lead vocal: 8 phrases)
1. to feel free. 2. from sea to sea. 3. a want & a need. 4. for the eagle in me.
5. a way to get away. 6. comeback someday. 7. my right, my need. 8. for the eagle in me.
What A Ride!
