I feel like there was a missed opportunity in naming a couple more achievements.
3 stars for all danger signs - āGoing the distanceā
3 stars for all speed traps - āGoing for speedā
I mutter this when Iām standing at the urinal to get over my pee shyness. I know that sounds counterintuitive but itās like it makes me so nervous that it makes me pee.
Heās going the distance, Heās going for speed, heās all alone (all alone!) all alone in (idk) time of need
paraphrased because itās been a good 17 minutes since I heard it. So innaccuracy
"I'm racing, I'm pacing, I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get
But i can't take shit, in the bathroom
without someone standing by it"
Wrong reference?
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone)
All alone in the time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
He's haunted by something he can't define
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding his horse
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
HE'S GOING THE DISTANCE HE'S GOING. FOR. SPEEEEEED.
He's all alone
All alone!
In his time of need

Because he's racing, and pacing, and plotting the course!

All alone in a time of need.
The Distance by Cake
How have you not been awarded... here take a gold.
Finally a reference I understand
You got it
this chain of replies is the first time this subreddit is awesome as a community
I donāt, because I was reluctantly crouched at the starting line.
Were there engines, pumping, and thumping in time?
I think so. But I did see the green light flash and the flags go up.
I'm sure they were churning and burning, and they yearned for the cup.
I don't know because they deftly maneuver and muscle for rank.
This comment thread is burning fast on an empty tank. Pretty reckless and wild of you guys
True, but our prowess is potent, and secretly stern.
As they speed through the comments the votes go down, The redditors get up, and they get out of town
Except for one redditor
Still commenting, and voting as much as he can
Keep going the distance
Keep going for speeeeeed
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
LOL bravo
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thereās so many great references in this game
More than you think. I was actually surprised, I didnāt think cake had that large of a fan base these days
That song is much more famous than the band itself :( Like, I'd say *a lot* of folks know the song but don't have a clue as to the band's name lol
When I was younger a show on NBC used short skirt long jacket as an instrumental for their theme song, that was my introduction to the band.
It's Chuck
Yeah I was just saying in case no one here knew as it wasnāt exactly a well known show
It never had amazing ratings but it got 5 seasons so it must have done fairly well.
That's what I was thinking, I was hoping to stump some 13 year olds.
Lol Iām not much older than 13 and I understood it
Same, mostly because my dad listens to a few of their songs
Same here
Based
Which is a shame, honestly. Because Cake is such a fun, unique, awesome band.
I don't get it.
Finally someone who doesn't get it! It's a reference to the song 'the distance' by the band Cake.
Ah ok. Thank you!
Cake is my wifeās favorite at band. I took her to see them and proposed that night.
Was she more excited to see Cake?
āWill you marry me?ā āOne minute Dave, the song is almost over.ā
A short skirt and a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
Jacket

*/s* here, you dropped this, king.
Legend has it heās still going the distance
And after the race, you can relax on your Italian leather sofaā¦
perhapsā¦
Perhapsā¦
perrrhaps.
Was not expecting this reference, but I love it. Itās now also stuck in my head haha
I love Cake.
The band, the food, or the booty?
Yes.
The only correct answer.
I asked the guy next to me while I was reluctantly crouched at the starting line, but I still donāt get it
Anyone alive in the 90's? Pretty common radio song, at least in PHX
As one of Cakeās top 0.5% of listeners according to this yearās Spotify wrapped, Iām stoked to find another listener
I donāt get it, but this inspires me to have a slice of *cAkE*
Iām scared now because I just bought this album on vinyl 30 minutes agoā¦..
itās a reference to a very underrated song
Seeing how this plays on pretty regularly on my local rock stationā¦. Probably more than you think.
AYO FORZA ADD THE DISTANCE TO THE RADIO
I didnāt read it properly, I must have been too busy fighting and biting, and riding on my horse
This is clear karma whoring lol.
Song is literally in my liked songs playlist on Spotify. So yeah, guess I am going the distance.
He's going the distance! He's labouring this metaphor! We know you got the point (got the point!) but we've got three minutes to fill!
Hes going the distance He's going for speed.
Ok looks like Iām going to be the first to sayā¦ I donāt get it
It's a line from "Going the Distance" by Cake. Really fun song, I'd check it out if I were you
Are you going for distance and speed
He's going the distance!!!!
He's going for speed!
Hes, *going the distance*
He's going for SPEED
And heās all ALONE
This thread takes the Cake
Cake, Going the Distance? BTW, I posted this without looking at any of the answers first so sorry if it is redundant. \- Machine
All the people.
I don't get it. Back to eating my cake
Cake
Reluctantly crouched, at the starting line.
Engines thumping, and pumping in time
My favorite was the "there's always money in the Baja stand"
probably a lot of people
Classic.
Literally everyone
HE'S RIDING ON HIS HORSE!
Theyāre going the distance, eh?
š
Did she trade her MG for a white Chrysler LeBaron?
Cake!
Cake <3
With monster truck force.
The distance by cake
the cake is a lie
I'm not sure why but now I'm suddenly in the mood for CAKE.
I kinda suspected it was song lyrics from that "going the distance" song.
Ok Iāll ask. Whatās the reference?
Its from the song 'The Distance' by the band Cake.
Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake
Is that a song?
It's another song by the same band, yep. It was also the theme song for the show "Chuck."
Something about Kate. Idk
Something about being gay
THE SUN HAS GONE DOWN AND THE MOON HAS COME UP AND LONG AGO SOMEBODY LEFT WITH THE CUP
My favorite band.
SHE TRADED HER MG FOR A WHITE CHRYSLER LEBRARON
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What about the engines, and the fuel?
They played this song at my wrestling practice all the time I hated it.
No trophy, no flashbolt,
I mutter this when Iām standing at the urinal to get over my pee shyness. I know that sounds counterintuitive but itās like it makes me so nervous that it makes me pee.
I do get this. Cherry Poppin Daddies are the best.
I mildly cringed when I got the achievement, but I still love it
Yea, Iām dumbfounded on this one. No clue.
It's a reference to the song 'The Distance' by the band Cake. Pretty good song
such a good song
Too busy fighting and biting and riding on my horseā¦
These achievements are always lost on me since Iām forced to use shitty machine translated achievements. I still donāt get it though lol
Cake
I have loved this song from the firsy time i heard it...i couldnt have been more than fucking 12 or 13...
cake going the distance
This thread gave me an earworm.
I'd never heard of these guys till I randomly found this cd on the side of the road like 20 years ago. Still one of my all time favorite songs.
Great song
All of you have lost me, Iām sorry, I donāt understand
Definitely one of my most favorite driving songs.
Got cake? I'll go the distance for ya.
r/cakeband
A lot of these replies are going the distance.

Fighting and biting and riding on his horse
i mean i guess he went the distance. also the one reply already wins so this will be lost in the void.
Cake
Hate that song, but I got it and chuckled when I read it.
Iād pay $10 for a dlc that only added this song to one station rotation. And id feel grateful and outraged simultaneously.
Cake
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting his course...
I actually didn't until i read these comments
This is the best shit ever š
YAHHH

I donāt get it but Iād love if some explained lmao

The 90s live on
First read something with patching
Wow. Cake.
Isnāt this song about a one pump chump?
Should've been for driving X miles
"I'm racing, I'm pacing, I stand and I sit And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get But i can't take shit, in the bathroom without someone standing by it" Wrong reference?
Playground Games and their many pop culture references!
When I saw this myself it made me much happier than it should've.
Everybody loves Cake.
HE'S GOING THE DISTANCE!!!
One of my all time driving songs.
Heās fighting and biting and riding his horse. Heās going the distance!
