    This has been an ongoing challenge for the community for decades, and it has been to decipher the lyrics to "Car Bomb" by Negativland.

    All the pieces finally came together!

    Whoop!

    -------------

    (3-2-1-0!)
    Dipstick, trash bag, shatterproof glass
    Tailpipe, tread-life, grease and chrome
    Fuel pump, muffler, universal bearing
    Aerial, brake shoe, shock absorber

    Car bomb!

    (3-2-1-0!)
    Ashtray, air filter, oily rag
    Fan belt, flywheel, left armrest
    Crankshaft, tire jack, rear-view mirror
    Coil spring, piston ring, rubber foam dice

    Car bomb!

    (3-2-1-0!)
    Lug nut, needle valve, dashboard padding
    Hubcap, road flare, windshield wiper
    Big hand, little hand, radio dial
    Front seat, back seat, air conditioner

    Car bomb!

    (3-2-1-0!)
    Rubber hose, rocker belt, digital speedometer
    Spark plug, gas cap, cigarette lighter
    Head rest, retread, registration
    Floor mat, firewall, accelerator pedal

    Car bomb!

    (3-2-1-0!)
    Oil grade, radiator, color-coded wire
    Kleenex, cassette deck, Transamatic fluid
    Headlight, seat belt, sunroof cover
    And a bumper sticker that says

    "No other possibility"


    -------------------

    Man, you have no idea how hard this was. But finally it is done!
