A friend of mine found a translation of the GTI commercial in the March 12,
1984 "AutoWeek" magazine. The original was by Ronnie and the Daytonas
(copyright Buckhorn Publishing, Inc.) and the GTI version was by Freaky
Fritzy and the Autobahn Screamers (copyright VW of A).
GTI GTI
Kliener GTI Little GTI
Du siehst prima aus You're looking great
Ich lieb, dich zu fahren I love driving you
Hol die Liestung To the max
Hor nur, wie er such anlasst Listen, how he starts
Steck den Schlussel'rein Put in the key
Er ist bereit zum Start He is ready to start
Wie er braust How he hums
Wie er saust How he zooms along
GTI GTI
(Startbereit) (Ready to start)
(Wie er braust) (How he hums)
(Ja, ja, Kliener GTI) (Yeah, yeah, little GTI)
Werde Bargeld sparen Will save you money
Kauf' den GTI Buy a GTI
Er fahrt mit mir lassig He takes me liesurely
An den andren vorbei Past all the others
Uberholt Benzinfresser Passes the gasoline eaters
Macht mir Spass dabei While I'm having fun
Und jedermann sagt sich dann bloss And everybody says
"Kliener Wagen-du bis gross" "Little car-you're really great"
Er ist bereit zum Start He is ready to start
Wie er braust How he hums
Wie er saust How he zooms along
GTI GTI
Original version
Little GTO
Little GTO, you're really looking fine
Three dueces and a four speed and a 389.
Listen to her tachin' up now,
Listen to her whi-i-ine.
Come on and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out, GTO.
Wah-Wah, Little GTO.
Yeah, Yeah, Little GTO.
You ought to see her on the road course or a quarter mile,
This little modified Pon-Pon has got plenty of style.
She beats the gassers and the rail jobs,
Really drives them wi-i-ild.
Come on and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out, GTO.
Wah-Wah, Little GTO.
Yeah, Yeah, Little GTO.
Gonna save all my money and buy a GTO.
Get a helmet and a roll bar,
And I'll be ready to go.
Take it out to Pomona,
And let 'em know, yeah, yeah.
That I'm the coolest thing around,
Little buddy gonna shut you down,
When I turn it on, wind it up, blow it out, GTO.
Wah-Wah, Little GTO.
Yeah, Yeah, Little GTO.
