about

I lend a 50s-era Bo Diddley beat to this outing at the Hibbing Drive-In. We spent many summer nights under the stars, watching bad movies on the enormous outdoor screen.

lyrics

Saturday Night at the Drive-In

I can hear the gravel popping, underneath the tires,
I catch a whiff of sweat and grease and skunk
Galaxie 500, whispers in the dark,
we're sneaking in the drive-in in the trunk,
sneakin' in the trunk

Tonight's a double feature, underneath the stars,
"The Hills Have Eyes", and "Night of the Living Dead"
Hot dog flips into a bun, kids into a car,
eight minutes left until the show begins,
until the show begins

(chorus)
Saturday night at the drive-in
Saturday night at the drive-in

Pop a top and hop on the hood, it's an orangey sky tonight,
catch a whiff of popcorn passing by
Blood and guts splatter on the screen, then the honkin' starts,
plunge that steely knife into his heart, yeah,
into his heart!

(chorus)

Suzie's daughter fell asleep, just like her momma did,
into the Passion Pit, and the arms of her new boyfriend
We rip the speaker off the post, trying to beat the rush,
a field of zombies coming after us,
coming after us

(chorus)
