If you like good music, don't listen to this: (Gene Simmons Alert)
Apparently the Indy Car racing league needed a theme song so Gene Simmons stepped up to the plate, and took a dump on it.

A rather obvious Queen ripoff, this steaming pile of crap will anchor the "I Am Indy" campaign.

Link straight to the "song":

My first question after hearing this was, "who is Mindy?"

1. If it's a Queen rip-off
I have no intention of listening to it. I heard enough of that when I heard The Darkness. Plus, Gene Simmons is a Grade-A butthead, IMO.

2. A wise decision
It's like when a person takes a bite of something, makes a funny face and says, "this is awful, here try it."

3. "I Am Mork!"
"I am Mo-ork!

I'm an alien from Ork
And I eat a lot of pork

I am MO-ORK!
I am MO-ORK!"


Definitely not the dumbest siong I've ever heard, but unquestionably a long step down from the lofty intellectual heights of "Calling Dr. Love" and "Christine Sixteen."

4. His last album was named "Asshole", so whaddya expect?
Can't believe that Tony George actually paid money for this! Somebody in marketing needs to be fired, before they roll this dog-of-a-song out into TV commercials, etc.
I expected better than this from Gene (my mistake, I guess!)
Indy car fans - please tell Tony this sucks by e-mailing them at their web site: <http://www.indycar.com/contact/>
