"Idiot Control" (aka "Idiot Control Now") is a song sung by Joel Robinson and the Bots that parodies the song "Rugen Los Motores" ("Engines Roar")[1] a.k.a. "Hear the Engines Roar" a.k.a. "Burning Rubber Tires" from the movie Pod People during Experiment #303.
Decades later, Dr. Laurence Erhardt made a surprise visit to Moon 13 to claim the remains of the deceased Dr. Clayton Forrester, who wished for "Idiot Control Now" to play during his burial. After an extensive search, the song was located in the Kingachrome archive by Synthia Forrester, who distilled it into a beverage dubbed "songria". Dr. Erhardt then played the song as he traveled to Mearth to carry out his mission.

JOEL
With a pickle mind
We kick the nipple beer
Steady as a goat
We're flying over trout
Ghetto down the highway
At the speed of light
All I wanna feel now
Is the wind in my eyes
Sack of monkeys in my pocket
My sister's ready to go
ALL
Hear the engines roar now
Idiot control now
Hideous control now
Ninny on the road now
Minnie in control
Wheels on fire
Burning rubber tires
Blurry jelly rolls now
Hitting Lesley Gore now
Needy inches bow down
Pitying a poor boy
Hear the engines roar
Bees on pie
Burning rubber tires
Original version[]
The song appears in the original film Pod People aka Extra Terrestrial Visitors aka Los Nuevos Extra Terrestres, sung by actor Ian Sera.

With a fickle mind, we kick her into her gear
Steady as she goes, we're flying overdrive
Get on down the highway at the speed of light
All I want to feel now is the wind in my eyes
With stacks of money in my pocket,
All systems ready to go
Hear the engines roar now
Hear the engines roar now
Hear the engines roar now
Hear the engines roar now
Hear the engines roar now
Wheels on fire
Burning rubber tires
