3.17.2008 - Another song playing in "502"?

During the song "502" on SFSGSW, there is part half-way through the song that sounds like a car being chased by the cops. Underneath this sound effect is another song playing. If you listen closely you can hear, what sounds like Dave, singing the lyrics "got you under my wheels". I was wondering what song it is and is that Dave singing the lyrics?

Hey there Darren,

Dave Mustaine discussed the differences between the original recordings and the remastered albums, and this is what he had to say about 502.
"In 502 there’s a little bit… (Alice Cooper’s my Godfather) and in the middle of the part where the music breaks down the guy hops in the car and he’s racing down the street before the car crashed in 502. I had the radio click on and on the radio is playing 'Under My Wheels'. Now, that never made it on Michael Wagner’s version because he left it out. It’s on the tape, I put it back in. That’s what I wanted." So you are semi-correct mate, the lyrics "got you under my wheels" are being sung, but not by Mr. Mustaine! This is a clip from "Under My Wheels" by Alice Cooper. Incidentally, Alice became Dave's Godfather one year after "So Far, So Good...So What!" came out; the same year that Megadeth recorded their cover of his song "No More Mr. Nice Guy" for Wes Craven's "Shocker" soundtrack. Small world, eh? And just another little tidbit about this tune for you, my police friend informed me that a "502" is code for drunk driving. Keep those questions coming, and the Scorpion says...you drink, you drive...you lose!
