Take You For A Ride

"Take You For A Ride" (also known as the "Character Select" music from ) is a frequently ripped track on the SiIvaGunner channel.

Summary
"Take You For A Ride" is a jazzy 8 second loop composed by Tetsuya Shibata and/or Mitsuhiko Takano for the game Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes and used for the character selection screen. It prominently features an unknown woman singing "I wanna take you for a ride!".

It has been reused in the sequel, Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds (and its updated rerelease ) in three remixes: "Traditional Mix", "Rock Mix" and "Dance Mix", all arranged by Hideyuki Fukasawa (composer for the Street Fighter series since Street Fighter IV).

The track quickly became an iconic piece of the MvC series due to its catchy but rapidly annoying nature and nonsensical lyrics - presumably an audio sample misinterpreted by the Japanese developers.
