what other road trip songs will be there? I actually can see all of them singing along with "Born To Be Wild" and laughing like mad

gryphon
there may be a Great Many, it depends on how the wind blows

whole thing could be a straight-up road musical

EXT. DAY. Edwards Dry Lake, California. A SEMI TANKER drives hell-for-leather across the desert, pursued by a swarm of motorcycles, sand rails, pickups, and one wildly out-of-place FedEx truck. They're all heavily modified in various deeply ghetto ways and manned by BAD-LOOKING DUDES and DUDINES. On top of the tank, GUMI and RIN have set up a number of very large amps and are playing "No More Mr. Nice Guy" by Alice Cooper at a volume that can probably be heard fairly clearly in Bakersfield.

INT. CAB OF TRUCK. ABHI GUPTA is bent over the steering wheel, which is almost bigger than she is, clearly only in control of the truck in the most nominal possible sense. On the middle of the dash, the hologram of TETO is playing the keyboard part of the song. The windshield is smashed and mostly missing, but Abhi has goggles on, so she can at least sort of see where she's going, not that it would make any practical difference if she couldn't just now.

ABHI
Oh, what a day! What a lovely day!

I suppose it all depends on what music is playing on the radio at the time...

.. or, you know, that.

I am sooo torn between what sort of joke to make here.

San Loss? We have a SAN stat???

"We were somewhere near Bartertown, when the drugs started to take hold...."

"Life is like an anole. Sometimes it's green. Sometimes it's brown. But it's always a small Caribbean lizard."

I will note that, given the location mentioned in the top level post, they're roughly within the sphere of Wasteland Weekend which is just a little bit north of Edwards' north gate, and which does feature a Bartertown.

And live music.

"Come on, can't we just get beyond Thunderdome?"

So, does Gumi have Doof Warrior's guitar? (Mad Max: Fury Road. You know who I'm talking about.)

For your heavy metal (and yet hilariously cheesy) Road Warrior amusement:

Fearless creatures, we all learn to fight the Reaper
Can't defeat Her, so instead I'll have to be Her

Offering up for approval: "Through Pain" by Nine Treasures

I would give many, many things (up to and including an organ) for this to feature on the crew's radio. Hell, it'd be awesome to see it on the set list, but that's a stretch. Still, I can't help but be amused by the image of waifish weeabait 2D idol singers belting out Mongolian folk metal.

FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards.

I am slowly building a collection of global metal bands that currently includes, but is not limited to: Botswana, Greece, Japan, Mongolia, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Hamilton has broad applications.

You're okay as long as the drums don't stop.

After the drums stop, you get...

The bass solo.

We've already done that bit, up topic. :) Besides, the drums really begin out near Black Rock City.

Vocaloids at Burning Man would be... well, not strange per se - it's Burning Man, after all - but definitely noteworthy.
