yeah yeah yeah yeah i turn it up i turn it up i turn it up higher till the tapes on fire yeah my car came equipped with a new cd player in layers the leds would glow and show the information of the laser scan across the trays of the six cd changer yeah but then i grew lethargic got nostalgic for a time when i didnt know what life was state of the art had an audible fuzz and the static of the stations i recorded when they played my favorite mash ups so i hit up the pawn shop traded my new player for a hot tape drive and then i remembered theres just something kinda special about magnetic information so now i listen to the hits in my hot tape drive nothing but cassettes in my hot tape drive hot to the touch when the music is done yeah hot tapes are what i listen on and i turn it up yeah i turn it up higher tapes on fire fire fire fire yeah yeah yeah yeah i turn it up i turn it up i turn it up higher till the tapes on fire yeah nothing better than the hot tape analogue coming out my speakers pumping out the woofers and the tweeters making the bass kick harder and the treble fly smooth yeah you might argue this song is a tribute to the old school but im not old school im simply remembering id rather call this an ode to my memory a remedy for zeros and ones playing nothing but the best in my hot tape drive a sauna for cassettes is my hot tape drive hot to the touch when the music is done yeah hot tapes are what i listen on yeah yeah yeah yeah i turn it up i turn it up i turn it up higher till the tapes on fire
