It does. I generally just do Stepmania and so I haven't heard that announcer in a while, but the phrase sticks in my mind like a spike strip.

I'm actually making a little game where you drive a car around and try to get to a goal, avoiding various obstacles (novel, I know), and one obstacle I wanted was a spike strip, but I couldn't remember what it was called.
