I always thought they sung "big slip daddy" referring to the differential. But looked up lyrics and it is "pink slip" so they raced for registration papers of other car. Funny how mis-heard lyrics fits better...

I was told that a "pink slip daddy" was a dual-ratio differential, called that because engaging it was an instant invitation for a speeding ticket.

I've never seen a dual ratio rear end but it seems like a pretty good idea.

I think that out-of-towners don't know the difference.

I drove an MAN truck with one, but never heard of them on cars.
