take a little trip and see

Yep, the song is about the West Coast Low-riders, referring to the pimped out cars with lowered suspensions. But of course, there is also an undeniable marijuana-related element present in the song. It's particularly noticeable in the lines 'The low rider is a little higher' and 'The low rider drives a little slower'. Of course it's also referring to the fact that the low riders like to drive really slowly to parade around their vehicles, but there's also another group of people who like to drive slowly too. Great song in any case.

Something about a car.

hehehe this is my dog MAX's song!! he is so low to the floor, yet koo!!

holy crap, only 3 people have commented on this song?? Anyway this is the GREATEST song to drive to! My car kinda sits low to the ground and it knows every street, Yeah. bow-bo-bo-bo-bow-bow-bow-bow...bow bow bow bow bow u know

this is the best song in the world.i love the beat and it makes me want to go and party all night.this song is the shit

Not trying to rag on anyone's rides or anything, but this is actually about lowrider motorcycles. Hell Angels, Choppers, etc... Perhaps one of the greatest driving songs ever created.

This song is great. Eric Burdons voice is so sexy, he was great when he was the lead singer of The Animals too.

i love this song. the music is amazing. lol. it reminds me of the movie dazed and confused

anybody else always think of Cheech and Chong when they hear this song. Great driving song.

The song is about the West Coast Latino subculture. They were "Low Riders" due to the fact that they commonly drove lowered cars. Most of the band grew up in the Southern California area and were immersed in the "Low Rider" culture.

Anyways, great song.
