  • wenn ich es könnte würde ich auch solche Musik machen...- die ist einfach nur gut !

  • On the original release of the album "Heartbeat City", this song was entitled "Jackie". I never found out why it was changed. It's a GREAT song, my favorite all time Cars tune.

  • Real music; creative, thoughtful and melodic, most bands today seem to struggle just to create a meaningful bridge.

  • "Oh Jackie, what took you so long?"

  • Great song....turns me on without fail...hahahahahah

  • The 8 reguettons-boys ....dont now S....T about music.

  • @softbullet -9 now!

  • Dios!!!! perdona a los 8 reguetoneros que no saben de MUSICA.......!!!!

  • beautiful

  • contrary to the stationary it misleads the people to think we can make music yet we don't have the talent that the cars had..

  • good fucking song

  • lo mejor de la musica no las pendejadas que tocan actualmente..

  • 80's keeeping me proud and alive

  • Mullets, big shoulder pads and great music...I miss the 80's.

  • Even their slow songs were upbeat. I look foreard to their new release this year

  • Has anyone heard anything in regards to the 25th anniversary of HBC with the 2 tracks to be released sung by Orr? I read something about it a few years ago but I dont think this has yet to surface.

  • 777 7 my vote number - up of course - and what a classic - and im old enough to remember it orginally !

    pity im not playing on a slot machine :-)

  • Awesome song!!! Gotta love the Cars!!!! :)

  • 7 dislikes WTH? 7 people with hearing problems more like. Awesome track!

  • Amazing group!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love this song, I was extremely disappointed when the radio station didn't have this song on request >:(

  • I can't wait for Jacqui. Have been waiting for 25 years for her to get back in town.

  • @gibaudrac1  lol

  • When I was maybe 7 or 8 my Grandpa gave me the Heartbeat City cassette. He came across it somewhere I'm not sure. He told my dad to listen to it first because he had no idea what kind of music it was. I don't think the chick with big boobs and a tight shirt on the cover helped. I got the cassette, and over the next decade wore it right out. It's still one of my favorite albums today. On copy in the car, one in the garage, another in the house. The 80's weren't all bad!

  • I've made an observation via YouTube and I've come to ONE consensus, most people hate all the new music out there today. How is it that the new "so called musicians" can sell music? I want to know who buys it!?

  • this video should have 3x more hits....and the cars should be in the hof ...thanks for posting softbullet

  • Belos tempos dos anos 70 e 80. festas do liceu.

    Surf and New wave everyday.

    Surf all day and boogy on night.

    Caparica forever 70´s

  • Después de Drive...el mejor tema de The Cars...envolvente y mágico como pocos...

  • This soung makes me feel like i live in world of unknown

  • TENTACIONES!!!!

  • Easily their second best to Drive (just my opinion).  The instrumentals all the way through the song are better than the vocals, incredible song though.

  • QUE VUELVAN LOS OCHENTAS LA PUTA MADRE...

  • 80's pop classic. 

  • Грустно. Хочется вернутся в 80-ые!!!!!

  • This is my favorite car's song...I bought a 'best of' album of theirs and it was missing. What a shame because it seems to be the most introspective and polished of their stuff. Thanks for posting.

  • awesome song love it thanks for posting it rest in peace Benjamin Orr

  • Repose en paix Ben

  • THIS BAND GIVES ME EARGASMS!!!! :P

  • I wrote this song a very long time ago and passed it on to Ben Orr and he did the rest. It is about Flagstaff....I rolled in their still blind drunk from three all nighters in Vegas, where I met a Cowgirl named Jacqui. My heart raced when she walked into a bar I was drinking at......the lyrics came to me from that night....damn over 25 years ago now!!

  • @TheCrocHunter1 Yeah you single handedly knocked down the Berlin Wall and walked on the moon too didn't you...fuckin' jerk!

  • @dude_wearing_the_rock.......w­hat the hell you on about boy!! I was merely sharin with y'all how these lyrics came about......you jealous of me or somethin' boy??!

  • @TheCrocHunter1 ugg...shouldn't you be cruisin' the homeless shelters for old fags like yourself?

  • @TheCrocHunter1 yeah that would be it...freak!

  • @dudefromtherock ...I think the only freak around here is you BOY...I bet you that damn thief who broke into my house and stole all my VHS videos of me and Jacqui makin' love. Damn BOY, I can't believe you are sittin' at home every night gettin' off on me and Jacqui's old home made video collection. I don't know whether to be freaked out by this or take it as a compliment. In any case you one heck of a freak BOY

  • @TheCrocHunter1 Time for your meds, grand'pa. Watching these old stuff ain't good for you, pop. You go off imagining all kinds of crazy things. Go lay down now, pop.

  • @TheCrocHunter1 RU4REEEL???

  • @mustangmom27 ....Yes sonny Jim I am for real....this song is about Jacqui, a Cowgirl I met in a bar at Flagstaff

  • @TheCrocHunter1 Time to put an end to the three-night bender in Vegas. What are we on now, night 10?

  • @mustangmom27 Hmmm you look familiar....there is something very familiar about you.....hang on a minute, Jacqui drove a Mustang....Jacqui?? Is that you?? Baby??

  • @TheCrocHunter1 How do you know me?

  • @mustangmom27 ....How do I know you?? What!! You don't remember!! We met in a Vegas Casino when I was winning big on Blackjack, when you sat at the table. We caught each others eye and eventually I took you back to my penthouse suite at the Stardust (R.I.P. Stardust) and we made love all night long...remember now??

  • @mustangmom27 funny vegas "the town" for benders. 

  • 80's.. These songs have SOUL. I don't know why and what, but there is something INSIDE.

  • under Heartbeats City golden sun....

  • Wow never seen this version. Great video thanks for the post. The Cars ROCK!!!

  • Love this.......this is so 12th grade for me..playd the hell out of this cassette

  • nice rolling rhythem

  • This song is so atmospheric...all those who grew up in the 80's and remember this know what I'm talking about....special just special..and even though I love Ben Orr on lead vocals, Ric does a great job on this...def in my top ten fave car songs!!

  • RIP Ben Orr

  • hey it's amazing how this music still at the top

  • Good beat!

  • every time i see a pic of benjamin orr,he comes across as the "pretty boy",the one that gets all the girls outta the bunch.thats why it was hard to imagine him ever in the army.he got drafted just like a better part of our boys did.the [the army] cut him loose after 18 months.thank God they did that or he probably would have had the same fate that a lot of our boys did.then we would have been robbed of a great musician.

  • @timm4055 and yet he was still taken so young

  • I'm glad u made it, i can't complain of this song, what a song .

  • RIP Ben

  • Es sin duda uno de los temas que mas me han gustado de la banda. Gracias por compartir el video a you tube. Muy buenos recuerdos

  • Six people pressed the wrong button?????.

  • muzyka z niebios...Boskie lata dla muzyki!

  • for many years of my 100 miles/day commute, the 80s songs kept me company, this song of the Cars was one of my favorites. thanks for sharing!

  • For me, this is the most eerie and atmospheric song of the 80's...

  • i me an ideal band 2 chill out 2,,,,,

  • wow. These guys are almost as good as Justin Beiber and the Jonas Bros

  • WHERE IN THE HELL ARE ANY GOOD BANDS NOW? EVERYTHING NOWADAYS STINKS !

  • The first time I heard this track was the other night. I thought I had heard the the best tracks from the 1980s & than this turned up. Without doubt a hidden gem from that period, which I don't think gets much air play. Fantastic. A underrated piece of brlliant music.

  • This takes me back to a different life of mine. The 80s were awesome

  • @Vac Trooper...... Didn't really mean "dissapear". I think "forgotten" is the better word. Just look at the amount of samplings of 80's music groups do nowadays. I believe that a lot of 80's hits speak to all generations which isn't the case now.

  • @9999pharlap True that, but just to be a dick, I gotta say that back in the 80's people sampled 60's and 70's disco and funk records for beats, basslines, and even full on songs. ;D

  • They made so many good songs...omg....Today's music minus RUSH sucks ass

  • ABSOLUTE BLISS! There just isn't any Cars without Benjamin.........Truly a classic sound that will always sound fresh. Ben you left us way to soon. I am sure you are rockin with the angels. RIP

  • Thank you for posting this great classic softbullet! This reminds me so much of my junior year in high school 85-86!!! Great memories!!!! Wish we had music like The Cars today, miss that.

  • @Romulan007 Thanks for your time.

  • Sad but beautiful. Thanks for posting this!

  • The Cars, Hall and Oates, Foreigner, Nick Kershaw.... Their songs will last while todays music will dissapear (thankgod) !

  • @9999pharlap All music lasts forever, regardless of who made it, or when.

  • @VacTrooper look at Bach or Beethoven for an example

  • Rick Orzak....amazing for an ugly Dude!! hehe

  • @philclarke1963 Ric Ocasek
