Ever take your parents car out before you were legally able to drive? If you haven’t, you might know a buddy who was the wild one. Crashing it would have led to serious trouble, and that’s putting it lightly. Now, stealing a car and driving it before you’re able to legally drive is less common and we’ll let you keep that one to yourself. But, you can relate to this 13-year-old who crashed a Lamborghini after taking it on a “joyride”. This kid had an elegant taste in cars obviously, going with an expensive Lamborghini.
13-Year-Old Crashes Lamborghini
A 13-year-Old in in West Vancouver took a Lamborghini for a “joyride” and crashed it into a ditch according to reports from cbc.ca. Reports from cbc.ca say that the Lamborghini is a complete write-off and the 13-year-old was unable to handle the dark and rainy conditions. Personally, we think the there are a lot of legal age drivers that would have a hard enough time controlling a Lamborghini in perfect conditions, let alone dark and rainy ones. The kid had a friend in the car with him during the joyride and luckily neither of them were hurt in the crash.
Kids Driving Cars
We just talked the other day on the show about a young kid who took his parents car in order to get to school. A much more wholesome reason to drive illegally but that isn’t the first time we’ve covered one of these stories either. Back in September of last year, we talked about a couple 11-year-old’s in Florida that took their parents car on 200-mile joyride. We don’t have the numbers on if this is happening more than ever but it seems to be a rather common thing. Maybe we are just hearing about it more because of social media, but it’s happening.
Funny Rock Songs: 5 Tracks That Still Make Us Laugh
Rock and Roll is many things: Cool, loud, in-your-face, and, sometimes funny.
One of the best examples of this comes via The Offspring, whose fifth studio album, Americana, was released on November 17, 1998. The album was a big hit for the band. Americana sold 198,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release. It went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide. Five million copies alone were sold in the United States.
Dexter Holland summarized the album’s overall sentiment in a 1998 interview with Billboard. At the time, he said, “I was thinking about how today’s America is distorted really. It’s not Normal Rockwell anymore; it’s Jerry Springer.”
Out the gate, Americana got a lot of attention thanks to its lead single, “Pretty Fly (For A White Guy).” The single made fun of posers and was rather ahead of its time for making fun of white people for appropriating Black culture. Not only was the song hilarious, but its music video was in heavy rotation on MTV and truly complemented the track. (Side note: After a re-watch, the video still holds up all these years later. It was one of many music videos at that time directed by McG.)
This has us thinking about other funny rock songs in history. They have been sprinkled throughout the decades. Some of these funny rock songs were all about getting laughs. Meanwhile, others had a hidden meaning or served as commentary on society. Then again, some of these songs were just plain weird. (Looking at you, Frank Zappa!)
In honor of the anniversary of Americana, here are just five of our favorites. (For the sake of this list, we’ve omitted notable comedy acts, like “Weird Al” Yankovic, who are known for their humor. This list focuses on acts that weren’t exclusively known for their comedy.)
