The Hoover Dam - Rhett and Link

My father picked me up in his beige four-door car

He said we’re going to the Hoover Dam, it’s not very far

He said

There’s enough concrete in the Hoover Dam

To build a two-lane highway from New York to San Fran

And one hundred and twelve men died as it was built

But the big Hoover Dam, she carries no guilt

Dad, why do you tell me these kinds of things?

Son, it’s good for you, and your ten-year-old brain

You need to fill it facts like the ones I’ve got

Such as the big Hoover Dam, she generates 1.8 gigawatts

The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam

We arrived at the dam, and the dam

It was big

But from the winding roads of our approach, I was carsick

Dad said

Don’t you go and ruin this for the both of us

I’m willing to stay and send you home on a bus

Drink a ginger ale and stand up on your feet

You’re gonna have to walk fast to keep up with me

The Hoover Dam (The nation is cheering)

The Hoover Dam (Underwhelming overengineering)

The Hoover Dam (The nation is cheering)

The Hoover Dam (Underwhelming overengineering)

I look over my shoulder, to the back of my four-door car

I say we’re going to the Hoover Dam, it’s not very far
