[edit] Song information
The song doesn't directly involve King Kong, the fictional giant ape. Instead, it is a reference to a loud, powerful speaker system with loud subwoofers, with ultra high sound pressure and is a "bass shaker" in the back of a car trunk. The reference originates from King Kong Electronics, a place in Houston, Texas that sells car audio and peripherals, mainly high-end subwoofers and head units. In the music video, the monster truck at the end has the words "King Kong" on the side in the same font as in the title for the 2005 remake of King Kong.
