Eddie Guerrero - GANGSTER LANE

Post by Titan83 »

why do you people call that 40 something second Eddie Guerrero theme 'Gangster Lean'?.. the lyrics in the song clearly say "step into the gangster lane" which makes sense. 'Gangster Lean' makes absolutely NO sense.

it's like with the rock's theme.. everyone thought for years that it was called 'Is Conquered'.. why would the rock say "Is Conquered"? in his own theme song?.. the lyrics clearly said "Is Cooking".. thankfully, the title has since been corrected.

as for the Eddie Guerrero theme, the lyrics clearly say "Gangster Lane" and so that's what the title should be, if anything. (we don't even have an official title for it!)

just because you thought you heard 'Lean' instead of 'Lane', don't be tempted to title the song as something that makes no sense. think logically!

Lean is the Mexican way of spelling it, lane is how it's said. Not to be confused with Lean as in Lean On Me. :lol:

Anyways I think the real title is "There be no chit talk til I get what I want" if said l;ong or "Get What I Want" for short.

well to be fair, I think it should remain untitled.

it's probably never going to be released or leaked and if i'm honest, personally, I don't even think it's that good! :lol:

but that's just my opinion. obviously certain people within' WWE agree, otherwise it wouldn't have been scrapped within weeks. it's one of those things that I guess seemed like a good idea at the time!

A gangster or gangsta lean is a style of driving, where the driver sits low and tilted towards the passenger seat. So yeah, it somewhat makes sense. So I'm thinking logically which is why the title was changed from "lane" to "lean" in the first place.
The theme probably wasnt all that good, but I thought it was only changed because of Eddies face turn.

no no, you missed my point.

how do you "step into a gangster lean"? that's what's not making sense. i understand that 'gangster lean' now means something, although it just makes the lyrics even more puzzling.

"Gangsta Lean" is an urban slang phrase denoting a style of automobile driving in which the driver sits slung low and tilted toward the passenger seat. The phrase first appeared in popular music in William De Vaughn's 1972 song "Be Thankful for What You Got," which includes the lyric "diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean."

Listening to the song now the lyrics are "It's about time I step in with the Gangsta Lean."

The Rock's theme title was semi-confirmed as simply "Hollywood" in an issue of WWE Magazine about a year or 2 ago. I don't exactly remember which issue it was. Whomever wrote the article could've simply been referring to it by it's commonly known title, but I don't know.
