The song Teuvo, maanteiden kuningas (Teuvo, the King of the Highways) most likely served as one of the many inspirations for the game My Summer Car and also for the song that plays when you die.

Kotikaupungin katu oli hiekkainen tie
The hometown's main street was a sandy road

Siin Anglia katolleen kntyi
That's where the Anglia turned onto its roof

Viel vinossa liikennemerkkikin lie
Still the road sign might be askew

Joka ohjausvirheest vntyi
By a steering error it was bent

Etupenkilt lasin lpi lennettyni
After flying from the front seat through the windshield

Olin pyrinyt piennarta pitkin
I had tumbled along the shoulder

Ojan pohjalla hampaita sylkiessni
Spitting out teeth at the bottom of the ditch

Min oksensin verta ja itkin
I vomited blood and cried

Tss naamassa arpikin kaunistus olisi
On this face even a scar would be an adornment

Ja hampaat voi uusiksi laittaa
And the teeth can be replaced

Mut ajokortin ja Anglian kilvet vei poliisi
But the driver's license and the Anglia's plates were taken by the police

Se harrastustoimintaa haittaa
That impedes the hobby activities

Rallikuskiksi psyst toiveita eltn
Aspirations of becoming a rally driver I foster

Turha on itien sankaripoikia neuvoa
Futile it's for mothers to caution hero boys

Eihn rallia voiteta jos siell peltn
Can't win a rally if you're afraid

Maalissa juhlitaan voittajapoikaamme Teuvoa
At the finish line our champion boy Teuvo is celebrated

Viikonlopuksi autoa etsiessni
While looking for a car for the weekend

Otin lainaksi naapurin Sierran
I borrowed my neighbor's Sierra

Pikatiell m rekkaa pin trmtessni
While crashing into a lorry on the expressway

Kai trmsin viimeisen kerran
Guess I had crashed for the final time

Teuvo, ota meidt kyytiin
Teuvo, take us on board

Teuvo, sun Angliasi myytiin
Teuvo, your Anglia was sold

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.
