Brits Show Love to the VW Beetle With Eminem Parody

We hate to admit it, but there's a little bit of jealousy going around the office right now. The Brits at CarThrottle really do have some killer skills which we'd when we go to karaoke
After that awesome Thrift Shop parody featuring the Hyundai Veloster, CarThrottle is back with a bit of rapping done to sound of Eminem's old song "Cleanin' Out My Closet".

The idea of this song is that the VW Beetle is unloved and unrespected, even though a lot of people secretly like it, us included. Right now, the urge to tattoo the Vdub logo on our arms is uncontrollable, but we're holding it in until the Germans figure out a way to make tattoo an official accessory.

----- Lyrics -----

(Who even cares?
No one cares about my Beetle... except me
Yeah... here we go)

Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
It has; it's been road-rage-ed, profanitated against
Low-pro tyres, on this ride, just so you can admire
Sick is the mind, like the Vee-Dub designer that's behind
The Mark 2's flower addition, the soft-top roof was a mission
Tempers flarin' from haters, just blow 'em off and keep drivin'
Not taking no stick for my Bug, give 'em hell long as I'm breathing
Just driving this in the morning and then again in the evening
This Beetle's gonna set you back just about twenty-five grand
And like the Mark 2 bug, all they want is this to get canned
Look at it now; I bet ya probably likin' it now ain't you people?
It's 'a make you look so ridiculous now

I'm sorry Vee-Dub
They never really liked Mark 2
They never liked the flower inside; now that's revised
I'm driving this new Beetle (one more time)
I said I'm sorry Vee-Dub
They never really liked Mark 2
They never liked the flower inside; now that's revised
I'm driving this new Beetle

Ha!

It's got some skeletons in its closet and I don't know if no one knows it
There are more girls to drive this Bug, yeah they defin'ly posin'
I'll prove it's damn good; I'll take you up to this car's top speed
One twenty-eight-M is the top speed you will easily see
This Bug is pleasing, teasing people in those different ways
The steering system's good and the six-speed box has no play
And the punks, have only ever been all up in its grille
Don't you worry, you know the girls will all be lovin' it still
Then there's the power, one-fifty-seven the figure on show
Even if that's not enough just buy the two-oh for mo'
Thank you Vee-Dub for lending us this today
We're not lis'nin to what people say
But dammit listen, this new Bug is great
This Bug's your saviour, last piece of the puzz'
Playtime all night and all day is what this Bug ever does
This Beetle's great for you; damn if I could I would have bought two
Who am I? I'd like to represent as one of The Car Throttle Crew

I'm sorry Vee-Dub
They never really liked Mark 2
They never liked the flower inside; now that's revised
I'm driving this new Beetle (one more time)
I said I'm sorry Vee-Dub
They never really liked Mark 2
They never liked the flower inside; now that's revised
I'm driving this new Beetle
