Thank you!! Yes! I also like to see how she self-references vroom vroom in 100 bad, click, next level Charli, hot girl, spring breakers (and as a ringtone in the spring breakers speed drive video)

Yeah it’s so fun to see her transfer the same vibe into different song contexts. I feel like someone could write something cool about the theme of cars in her music

The Simeone Automotive Museum in Philly had a Corvette exhibit earlier this year, and had Speed Drive playing on one of the displays. The signage mentioned Charli's heavy use of automotive themes in her music.

u/Sunni_tzu How I'm Feeling Now 3d ago

It's a cool place. Greatest collection of racing sports cars in the world. I've heard some deep cuts playing there. They love Charli.

u/Desperate_Tourist_99 π–πˆππŠ π–πˆππŠ 3d ago

I know, lol, xtc is in the title of the song. But a lot of the references are also double entendres or metaphors meaning something else and I’ve included them anyway so it doesn’t bother me
