Don't sweat it. I love Hans Zimmer but after what he did to my car, I can't wait to hear the bizarre shits that will be the new anthem.

Zimmer was hired by BMW to make acceleration and engine noises for their "i" line of EVs. What they got was the sound of robots whining and having orgasms. I had to disable the sound on mine.

I thought this comment was about to go in a very different direction

Never letting Hans borrow my car after he used it as an instrument in an orchestral arrangement of Yankee Doodle Dandy

Hopefully he's a nicer to cars than Frank Zappa.

Edit: Sadly it appears that videos of Frank "playing a car" on The Monkees are harder to find than I suspected.

Huh, I guess Brian Eno wasn't available.
