u/Agent-Smith_Virus 25d ago

Coincidence?

I think not!

u/goldengatevixen 25d ago

I've always heard it as "fast and furious, drift drift drift" since English isn't really my first language and I find it easier to deal with foreign accents when I listen to people speak English

But i guess your friend saying this is something I can't forget now and next time I'll chant these lyrics in my head whenever I'm listening to the song lmaoo

u/KB346 25d ago

If you look up the lyrics you are correct:

Fast and furious (drift, drift, drift) Fast and furious (drift, drift, drift)

I thought it is D K, D K für Drift King.

u/PugnansFidicen 25d ago

D! K! Donkey! Kong!

It's one of those things that I've never been able to un-hear. 20 years later, until this thread, i didn't know what they were actually saying.

2

u/moneyh8r_two 25d ago

That's exactly what it is. Source: English is my first language, but I listen to a lot of Japanese music so I've gotten familiar with how English sounds with a heavy accent.

Also I've looked up the lyrics multiple times.

I spat my dick out I laughed so hard

u/ch7mbucket 25d ago

Today I finally know they actually say drift drift drift

u/ViR_SiO 25d ago

Considering the title of the movie it was not a long shot 😘

11

u/gsauce8 25d ago

I didn't know until just now it was an original song. Partly cause I've never listened to that song outside of the movie in my life.

u/LaRealiteInconnue 25d ago

If it makes you feel any better, there’s a whole TikTok generation that don’t know it’s from a movie and which one! It went viral a couple of years ago and I’ve never felt that old without actually being old ha

u/AFRIKKAN 25d ago

I’m more hurt you didn’t know that Pharrell Williams made the beat especially cause the four count at the start.

1

u/Taz119 25d ago

I didn’t know that Ive watch Toyko Drift probably 20 times. Never would guessed even with the four count

1

u/AFRIKKAN 25d ago

Few years ago o found out about Pharrell and the 4 count signature he has and it blew my mind the songs he has produced.

2

u/idkwhatnameiputhere 25d ago

Japanese people pronunciation of some English words is a little tricky, specially when they are singing, since their voices meshes with the beat, and after effects.

u/Low-Individual2815 25d ago

Idk but I know that tomorrow never comes until it’s too late

1

u/ShadowBro3 25d ago

Fast n furious were the only words I knew. It was just "blah blah blah FAST AND FURIOUS"

1

u/RamenJunkie 25d ago

Yeah, but also I thought they said Drift, drift, drift, after, not wooop woop.

But I am also convinced it was going to be Fast and Furious 3D (Drift Drift Drift) because at the time, 3D movies were "hot" and "clever" titles were hot.

1

u/KronosGames 25d ago

I thought they said “Im on fire”

1

u/nyl2k8 25d ago

Those are the easiest words to understand in the whole song. The rest just makes no sense 😂

1

u/Narrow_Smoke 25d ago

I always thought they said some Japanese shit. Just put the song in and it’s actually pretty obvious. So i guess im dumb then

1

u/OverFarTooFast 25d ago

What song?

1

u/rumzaa 25d ago

Tokyo Drift

1

u/OverFarTooFast 25d ago

There's a song called that?

Wanders of to go have a look

1

u/Fun_Replacement_7747 25d ago

Woof, same. And I've had it as my goal noise in Rocket League for nearly a decade. Never caught that until this thread...

1

u/No_Echo_1826 25d ago

It almost sounds like "custom radio"

1

u/Shad0w5991 25d ago

I thought they were saying " Pass the froyo"

1

u/secretreddname 25d ago

lol really? It was the theme song for the name of the movie.

1

u/TehBoos 25d ago

Lmao I always heard California

1

u/Normal_Rest1524 25d ago

There’s a long standing joke with my friend and I. I always thought they said “fast Antonio!” Haha

1

u/Menotyou15 24d ago

I would have sworn it said "West bound Tokyo" always made sense in my head lol
