Worthless


Sooo...just got done watching a video of the song again (and yes I've seen the movie before) and...okay so:

Not sure about the first car, the "I can't seem to get started" or the "I come from Casey Missouri" cars, but "I once ran the Indy 500" car I'm fairly sure wrecked in the race, and possibly killed the driver. Considering he says "I must confess I'm impressed how I did and I wonder how close that I came". That suggests to me that he never actually finished the race.

"Once drove a Texan to a wedding" I think might have crashed either to or from the wedding, and said Texan was driven to his funeral by "I took a man to a graveyard". I think this because of the very similar designs of the vehicles, and the animation of them being taken to the crusher being the same, with the car replaced. There seems to be a suggestion of a connection there.

"Once drove a surfer to sunset"...yeah, her owner was killed by a shark. Look at the surf board.

"I worked on a reservation" kills himself. The only car we see still capable of driving, and it either drives itself onto the crusher belt, or at least doesn't even attempt to escape, despite being capable of doing so.


I dunno what's sadder. The pickup truck's apparent suicide, or the sports car's wheel desperately going left and right trying to get OFF the crusher.

I disagree, seems he attempted to escape and that's why the group hopped inside him. He's facing away from the crusher as well. The magnet likely got him as he attempted to drive off.

Fair point. I've seen that subject debated in great detail on here. I stand by everything else I said though.

Who else thought that song was creepy? I always thought it was creepy as well as the lyrics.
