这首歌原本是Motown黑人Disco女星Rose Royce为同名电影演唱的歌曲，并夺得Billboard单曲榜冠军位置。2004年，正值Christina Aguilera发行《Stripped》（2002）和《Back to Basics》（2006）两张专辑的中间时刻，MV中她一头金色卷发和浓艳的装束，与后来她华丽的爵士名伶形象遥相呼应，可能这也暗示着她形象的转变，用业界评论的话来说，是“from grass to class”。
听了原唱才知道，原来当年的Disco有这么浓重的Blues味道。翻唱版《Car Wash》是首很欢喜的歌，当然，哪里有了Missy Elliot都很欢喜。Missy Elliot从长相到唱歌都很喜感。她们的翻唱版保留了原曲持续不断的拍掌声，又加上了Missy Elliot的rap段落，和Christina Aguilera引以为傲的华丽嗓音。后半段Christina Aguilera的演唱中有各种各样的炫技唱法，尤其那段花腔高音更是让人百听不厌。
MV也很有趣。《鲨鱼黑帮》最大的诟病之一就在于形象的设计，所有的动画人物都根据配音演员画成，于是就出现了史上最丑的威尔·史密斯的形象。我不知道Christina Aguilera和Missy Elliot的形象是否出现在电影里，但是MV确实为她们俩设计了两个形象。Christina Aguilera的不说基本看不出来；Missy Elliot那个一看就是她，尖尖的嘴，还有她拿话筒的动作。
这首歌还收录于歌迷为Christina Aguilera制作的B-Sides精选集《15 Songs for You》里面。

歌词
Y'all small tuna fish, I'm one big catch
(This is a shark tale exclusive)
Y'all small tuna fish, I'm one big catch
(Here we go again)
Y'all small tuna fish, I'm one big catch
(2004, phenomenal hit)
Y'all small tuna fish, I'm one big catch
Car wash, car wash, car wash, car wash
Car wash, car wash, car wash, car wash
(Yeah, let's drop it on 'em like this)
You might not ever get rich
Let me tell you it's better than digging a ditch
There ain't no telling who you might meet
A movie star or maybe a common thief
Working at the car wash, oh oh, yeah yeah
At the car wash, yeah, ooh, yeah yeah
At the car wash, sing it with me now
Working at the car wash, yeah
Come summer the work gets kind of hard
This ain't no place to be if you're planning on being a star
Let me tell you it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if you're acting like a fool
Working at the car wash, oh oh, yeah yeah
At the car wash, yeah, ooh ooh ooh
At the car wash, ow said, now come and work it with me now, yeah
Working at the car wash, yeah
Said, said, said, sing
Work and work
Well, those cars never stop coming
Work and work
Keep those rags and machines humming
Work and work
My fingers to the bone
Work and work
Keep on and can't wait till it's time to go home
Hey, get your car washed today
Fill up and you don't have to pay
Hey, get your car washed today
Fill it up, right away
(Work at the, car wash)
Sharks in the water make they jaws lock
When I swim through the grim, I'm too hot
Y'all can make y'all bets
Y'all small tuna fish, I'm one big catch shark's lair
Bow down playa
'Cause this right here will be your worst nightmare
Work that, work that, pop back, hurt that
Turn this up and bang it all up in the surface
Work and work
9 to 5, I got to keep that fat stack coming
Work and work
No matter how big the shark is, the right keep running
Work and work
Washing cars ain't no place to be a superstar man
Work and work
That's why I work, and work
Working at the car wash, ohh, yeah
At the car wash, yeah, come on work, baby work it, say now
At the car wash, ahh
Working at the car wash, yeah
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Now keep it coming
You may not ever get rich, but hey
Hey, get your car washed today

Hey, get your car washed today
