Saturday Morning CarTune: Show Me What You Got

This CarTune is a high roller: “Show Me What You Got” by Jay Z, with guest stars Danica Patrick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 

 

 

This one made quite a splash when it fell into heavy rotation on the video music channels in 2006. Built around a sample of Public Enemy’s “Show ’em What You Got,” which is in turn based on a horn riff from the score of Shaft in Africa by Johnny Pate, the “Show Me What You Got” soundscape is designed to evoke sex and style. Break out the Armand de Brignac.

The videography is a pastiche as well. See if you can spot all the James Bond movies featured here: GoldenEye, The World is Not Enough, You only Live Twice, and Casino Royale.

Of course, car people will home in on the first segment, which stars Danica Patrick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., a Pagoni Zonda, and a Ferrari F430 in a race through the streets of Monaco. Please press play.
