Brandes was trying to write a song about motorcycles and life and stuff and wanted it to be over the top and anthemic but it just ended up being weird. Andy Willhite was briefly in the band before moving to Memphis so we asked him to play lead guitar for old times' sake. He took the song where it wanted to go. They don’t call him Sweet Pickins for nothing.
lyrics
Kickstart that old Honda
Don't save it for a rainy day
Your best friend's got a new machine
and she's throwing it all away
The last thing coming through you
Is the first thing that you'll miss
Open up so she can breathe
Don't make it easy to resist
Pissin' Hondas
Overdrive
Burning up inside
You no longer
Have to hide
Taking you for a ride
Burning up inside
Taking you for a ride
