Rob Zombie's "Two Lane Blacktop" came out in 2003 on Past, Present & Future, his compilation for Geffen, and it's hard rock with the throttle taped to the floor. Zombie wrote it with Scott Humphrey and the pair produced it together, with Humphrey handling the mix and Chris Baseford engineering.
The title is lifted from the 1971 road movie Two-Lane Blacktop, though the "Two-Lane" half never actually shows up in the words; the refrain hollers about the blacktop instead. That gearhead swagger found a natural home the same year in the racing game Need for Speed: Underground, and the song turned up again in the 2005 film Venom.
