| Song Lyrics: |
There are Four variations on the Demo of Stop Draggin' My Car Around. Here are the complete lyrics for all Four vocal takes.
Stop Draggin' My Car Around - Demo
"Version One" recorded 8-22-81
No Musical Mike overdubs present
The "Eat me" version (Unreleased)
Had to park my car for just five minutes
I had to go inside to use the phone
When I came back again my car was gone
Well I, I didn't know it was a loading zone
It was a bummer
I was so brought down
I chased that lousy tow truck all over town yellin'
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
I was cruisin' doing sixty in the fast lane
Guess I must have hit some broken glass
I had a blow out and I started swerving
Tried to pull over but I ran outta gas
Yeah I was stranded, I was blocking traffic
I had to run and call the Triple A
Got back in time to see the highway patrolmen
They were towing my car away
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
Wooo oooooo
Now I'm at home, I'm watching Gilligan's Island
I guess I oughtta trade my old car in
For twenty dollars and my '64 Plymouth
Maybe I could get a second hand Schwinn
All of a sudden there's a tow truck in the driveway
I grabbed the driver and I asked him why
He said, "I'm sorry but you're late with the payments"
"It's time to kiss your little car good-bye"
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
Stop draggin' my car around (Aw come on man, I just had the hubcaps painted. Give me a break)
Stop draggin' my car around (Aw man. Hey, I left a sandwich in the back seat. Hey!)
Stop draggin' my car around (Aw. Hey listen, the check's in the mail. No, really.)
Stop draggin' my car around (Hey! Hey! Eat me! Go on, eat me!)
Stop draggin' my car around
baby, baby baby baby baby-y-y-y (Go on. Go on.)
(assorted claps, laughs and choking noises)

"Version # 2 Two" 8-22-81 [Date printed in CD booklet]
Alternate Lyrics - Released on Dr Demento Basement Tapes CD # 10 2002.] With Musical Mike Overdubs. Fade out. The book says This is the Original Demo, but the "Eat Me" demo above 'sounds' like an earlier recording [speculation].
Had to park my car for just five minutes
I had to go inside to use the phone
When I came back again my car was gone
Well I, I didn't know it was a loading zone
It was a bummer
I was so brought down
I chased that lousy tow truck all over town yellin'
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
I was doing over sixty in the fast lane
Guess I must have hit some broken glass
Had a blow out and I started swerving
Tried to pull over but I ran outta gas
Yeah I was stranded, I was blocking traffic
I had to run and call the Triple A
Got back in time to see the highway patrolmen
They were towing my car away
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
Now I'm at home, I'm watching Gilligan's Island
Guess I oughtta trade my old car in
For twenty dollars and my '64 Plymouth
Maybe I could get a second hand Schwinn
Look out the window there's a tow truck in the driveway
I grabbed the driver and I asked him why
He said, "I'm sorry kid you're late with the payments"
"It's time to kiss your little car good-bye"
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
Stop draggin' my car around (Hey man, give me a break I just had the hubcaps painted.)
Stop draggin' my car around (Hey, I left a sandwich in the back seat.)
Stop draggin' my car around (Hey, the check's in the mail. No, really.)
Stop draggin' my car around (Ohhhh. Ohhh!)
Stop draggin' my car around
( Fade out)

(As broadcast In 1981 & most recently on 8-27-00)
"Version Three" Vocals recorded 9-81?
Had to park my car for just five minutes
I had to go inside to use the phone
When I came back again my car was gone, Well
I didn't know it was a loading zone
What a bummer
I was so brought down
I had to chase that tow truck all over town yellin'
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
Took my baby to the local disco
I was jumping like a maniaic
But the owner came and pulled me off the floor then he
He took me to his little office in the back
He said I really like your snaggle tooth neckless
Your pants are groovy and your hair's OK
But then that car of your is so un-cool
Like wow i'm sorry but we towed it away
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
Wooo oooooo
Now I'm at home, I'm watching Gilligan's Island
Guess It's time to trade my old car in
For twenty dollars and my '64 Plymouth
Maybe I could get a second hand Schwinn
Look out the window there's a tow truck in my driveway
I grabbed the driver and I asked him why
He said, "I'm sorry kid you're late with the payments"
"It's time to kiss your little car good-bye"
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
Stop draggin' my car around (Listen, the check's in the mail. No, really.)
Stop draggin' my car around (On man, I just had the hubcaps painted.)
Stop draggin' my car around (Hey, Hey I left a sandwich in the back seat.)
Stop draggin' my car around (Ohhhh. Ohhh!)
Stop draggin' my car around.
Wooo oooooo Ahhhhhhhhh.

Stop Draggin' My Car Around - Demo
Version ? - Vocal take is different again. This has Musical Mike overdubs, but there's less overdubbed sound effects Noticeable at the beginning on This version, than the one broadcast on the radio.
Had to park my car for just five minutes
I had to go inside to use the phone
When I came back again my car was gone Well,
I didn't know it was a loading zone.
What a bummer
I was so brought down
I had to chase that tow truck all over town yellin'
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
Took my baby to the local disco
I was jumping like a maniaic
But the owner came and pulled me off the dance floor
then he took me to his office in the back
He said I really like your snaggle tooth neckless
Your pants are groovy and your hair's OK
But then that car of your is so un-cool
Like wow i'm sorry but we towed it away
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my car around
Wooo oooooo
Now I'm at home, I'm watching Gilligan's Island
Guess It's time to trade my old car in

fiogf49gjkf0d Well, this is listed under Demo, so I wanted to help supply all the variations of lyrics that are known. The demo version played on the Dr D show before 2002 is the third set of lyrics. The one after 2002 so far has been the Basement Tapes version - the 2nd set of lyrics. I haven't check the MMA shows to check them. I was just trying to give the most accurate info. I spent a few nights really comparing them back to back. One other interesting fact is the original demo (broadcast before 2002) always ran fast on all the broadcasts. I Don't know why. The Basement tapes version (played after 2002) was pitch corrected to match the 1st album version.

fiogf49gjkf0d So which is it? Are we treating different studio versions separately or not?
