TROOPER - "THE BOYS IN THE BRIGHT WHITE SPORTS CAR"
Topic: New Tab Postings

About two years ago, I tabbed the opening verse of "The Boys In the Bright White Sports Car" (a song which has to set some kind of record for longest song title) for the Riffs section of the site. Now comes the tab for the full song.

"Boys" originally appeared on Trooper's second album, Two For the Show, in 1976. But it wasn't released as a single until it appeared on Hot Shots (pictured), the band's 1979 Greatest Hits album. The song became one of Trooper's most successful singles, reaching #25 on the Canadian RPM chart, and helping propel Hot Shots to quadruple platinum sales in Canada.

The only significant tab note is that the song is in a slightly unusual key, Bb minor. But a check of some video footage confirmed that that is the correct key.
