Hi! I'm trying to brush up on my Japanese by watching lots of anime. (I 
happen to like anime so..) and I'm trying to understand the words to the 
songs.

This verse from Naruto is confusing to me, however:

「踏み込むぜアクセル」(fumikomu ze akuseru)

I understand that it roughly means "Step hard on the accelerator" but 
what does 「ぜ」 mean? Is this a variation of 「て」that is used to make 
the song sound nicer (like using wo instead of o) or is it an unusual 
particle or what?

Thanks very much.
