LYRICS:


Sunshine's on
And the wind is cool
Yeah it's calling me
And maybe I'll just give in

It's time to
keep it slowing,
breezy flowing,
easy going
And I'm feeling
Feeling like a drink

It's calling me
Out of my city
Yeah it's calling me
Come here out to the sea

California's calling I'm riding
Nothing on my mind I'm not driving
California's calling I'm riding
Ooh

Sunshine's on
And the wind is cool
It's time to
keep it slowing,
breezy flowing,
easy going
And I'm feeling, I'm feeling....
I'm feeling
Feeling like a drink
I'm feeling
I'm feeling

California's calling I'm riding
Nothing on my mind I'm not driving
California's calling I'm riding
Ooh


If you'd like to download an MP3 for your phone or whatnot, go to this Russian website: https://mp3iss.ru/mp3/easy-hot-back-interceptor-int-650-twin/, and under "Easy Got Back Interceptor INT 650 Twin" click the Russian word that kind of looks like "CKa7aTb" [= "Skachat'" or "download"...Sorry, but the Forum system will puke if I try the actual Cyrillic characters), and then just follow your own computer's pop-up window to save it wherever you'd like. By the way, this site works for most YouTube videos if you just want to rip an audio file from them. And it's fine. Boris and Natasha will not hack your refrigerator to make your Rocky Road all melty.


Then again, if you just want to listen to a decently high fidelity version online, it may be easier for you "Roosky-challenged" types over at https://soundcloud.com/skdabest/reasy.

My pleasure. It's just a post-retirement expression of an occupational hazard stemming from my former decades-long gig as a librarian and dogged researcher--commencing LONG before "google" became a verb. Remember those postcards?

Linux users can use youtube-dl to download the video and winff to extract the audio. [you can just download the audio with youtube-dl, but I usually download the video]
Don't know if there are Windows / Mac versions?

There's a million of them for these platforms.  Also, browser plugins.  Also, remote resources, like www.tubeninja.net.  Commence downloading!

        Good lord. I'm speechless :o :)

          I wish I had known all that before I watched it with the sound off. The swerving all over the road would have been even more impressive set to music.

          Like the car ads nowadays: "Do not attempt this. Professional driver on a closed course".
RI USA '08 Black AVL Classic.9.8:1 ACEhead/manifold/canister. TM32/Open bottle/hot tube removed. Pertronix Coil. Fed mandates removed. Gr.TCI. Bobber seat. Battery in right side case. Decomp&all doodads removed. '30s Lucas taillight/7" visored headlight. Much blackout & wire/electrical upgrades.
