What do you get when you mix a car with a Woofer and an Amplifier? The Amplifier song by Imran Khan. Never ever did i thought that one day someone is going to profess his love for the car and the sound system in it by creating and singing a song about it and metaphorically aiming it on his girlfriend to make it look O.K.
I pity Ghalib for not using donkey carts, horse carts and bull carts as metaphors for love and affection in his poetry. What a shame, Ghalib had the chance to redefine poetry and he completely missed the opportunity. Now Amplifier, this really is music to the ears, no matter how weird it sounds. The foundation has been laid for everyone to profess love for their means of transport, like i would write a song for my legs praising my pants, shoes, socks, toes and nails etc.
But after hearing the amplifier song i could not help but wonder because the lyrics hint that the singer is either gay for his car or the woofer or the amplifier and in any case that's a very strange kind of gay. The girlfriend in this song is just a piece of showpiece used to make the car look even better. Moreover the singer mentions that he is going to use the breaks of the car to make his girlfriend scream and get his freak on, meaning the singer is into some kinky stuff as well. I have heard of a girl getting married to her laptop but that's understandable, maybe she met someone on the internet, fell in love with him, things didn't work out between them and now in a state of denial she thinks that her prince charming lives inside the laptop so just marry it and the prince will automatically come to her. But being gay for a car, now that's some serious food for crazy thoughts.
The singer also mentions that he is going to drive at a speed of 220, i don't know whether he means miles or kilometers and he also openly declares that he is not even going to stop for the police and in a state of delusion he thinks he's a knight rider, but the problem is that knight rider was the car's name and not of the driver's. Thus making the gay for the car thing become more obvious.
After a couple of verses into the song the singer suddenly realizes that his secret is out so he pretends to be straight by making a lame attempt through vaguely mentioning something about the T-Shirt of his girl friend getting wet due to excessive sweating in the heat and while in the state of being wet he asks his girlfriend to touch the car and turn on the AC. See the singer was trying to pose as straight but ended up looking BI, if not completely gay for his car.
But having said all of the above i must admit that the song does have a very nice beat to it and it kind of grows on you little by little until you too are completely gay for you car or the sound system in it.
