. "\"Jerry Was a Race Car Driver\" is the first single of Primus's 1991 album Sailing the Seas of Cheese. The song tells the stories of two characters, Jerry, an ill-fated race car driver who collides with a telephone pole while driving intoxicated (hence the use of \"was\", in the title) and Captain Pierce, a retired fireman. The band created a music video for the track."@en . . . . . . "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver"@en . . "191.0"^^ . . .
