Song of the Day: Gear Jammer

The Song of the Day today reflects two events going on throughout the day. There is a WWE PPV tonight and the name the show is Fastlane, which is a racing theme. Also, before the PPV is the TicketGuardian 500 at ISM Raceway in Phoenix. So knowing this, I wanted to go with a song that could tie into both events. There was a video game back in ‘99 and this song played as you started the game. The game I am referring to is NASCAR 99 and the opening song was “Gear Jammer” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers. I remember these old NASCAR games having some of the best soundtracks of any video game out there. The song was released on the album, “Maverick”, back in 1985 and was the opening song in the album. The song was released as a single and to my surprise, it actually did better on the the charts than the song George Thorogood is most known for, “Bad to the Bone”. Above, I have the full song, but I also wanted to include the opening credits of the NASCAR 99 game, so here they are as well.
