I met Ric Ocasek in a record store in Boston on Boylston Street. I was looking through records and he was right beside me. I very slowly pulled out my camera and he walked out. I took several shots of him walking away....lucky I had my camera...in those days there were no cameras in phones...there were no cell phones!!!!!!!
I just have to ask why this video was flagged? Is it because of the lyrics or the album cover? Give me a f****n break! (Oh please dnt flag me for the f word being typed!! ~___~) seriously if itz flagged because of little boys are caught masturbating to the album cover, big deal! I mean all I wanted to do was listen to the damn song n yet I had to go on my sisters account which took forever because of not remembering tha password. Itz just very upsetting that youtube has 2 be policed like this.
This video has been age restricted due to Youtube guidelines? Uhhhhhh-yeah, I guess all this nudity & profanity is too much for all the little snowflakes listening to Lil' Wayne. What planet are we on?
This song was on a very little known movie called "Times Square" Watch it here on YT...Lots of great music from that era...Ebay has the DVD for over 100 bucks...it's oop
the first time i heard this song was with my old pickering headphones. i was 21 years old, stoned, and it just blew me away and i will never forget it. i have no idea what day it was or if anyone else was there, just that i was totally tripping on it. i bought 'candy-o' on vinyl shortly thereafter... we had no internet, i-tunes, or even CD's back then. if you wanted the song you either bought it, borrowed it, or recorded it from a friend's copy or right off the air FM stereo. fun times.
True musicianship and song writing = talent. Probably the best underrated band of all time. I love playing all their albums start to finish, then starting over again, takes me back to better, simpler times. LOVE IT ! ! !

This is a tough one the first Cars album or Candy O. Both of them are full of great songs. I love both of them. Its hard to pick. Cars Good Times Roll My Best Friends Girl Just What I Needed You're All I've Got Tonight Bye Bye Love Moving In Stereo/All Mixed Up I'm In Touch With Your World Dont Cha Stop Candy O Lets Go Since I Held You It's All I Can Do Double Life Shoo Be Doo Candy-O Night Spots You Can't Hold On Too Long Lust For Kicks Dangerous Type I love them all
I know Benjamin Orr is gone but i heard that the rest of the original members of the cars are going on tour this next summer. I surley hope so. I missed them in the late 70's & early 80's. My best buddie seen them twice in the late 70's. I should have went with him dumbass me said no.
There was a guy I knew a VERY long time ago and crazy as it sounds...and as I was driving in to meet him for the first time, this song came on....Dumbass that I am should've listened to it ..hehehe :) Still, this is a GREAT song!
Listened to this song what seems to be 10,000 times & it still sounds the same today as I heard it for the first time in 1979. What a great song!!! Love the Cars!!!
"79" I remember hitting the bars me and my sister with long hair, tight tops and tight jeans and of course the heels! and being called the twins!! ( oh, and still have the long hair) LOL!
The last time I saw the love of my life we were playing pool in a bar called Franks Tavern in Fairport NY in 1979 and she played this on the jukebox. R.I.P Donna Renee Webb....
@InteriorCommando it also reminds me of a guy i dated at the time...ended badly but I still love this song. Interestingly enough...he also passed a couple of years ago and I have no idea what happened. Hadn't seen or heard from him in years...but i can still never get enough of this song.
I love The Cars!! Always have. I remember a girl living down the road who, in HS, was a more "altrnative" type. That was 1981. She was not one to wear her interests on her sleave. She was not shallow like that. Her name was Jenny. She drew this album cover for me. I will never forget it. Thanks Jenny!!
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I was cruising McHenrry Avenue in Modesto, California, the heart of the movie "American Graffiti" with this song blasting out of my 1965 Ford Mustang. Oh, the days.
Does the drummer have a combination of a acoustic and electronic drums.. wondering what he is hitting too get that different tone through-out this song
@TheZepmeister --You bet someone else did, brother! And I dated a girl who, though not exactly like our cover girl was pretty dam close...sigh...and by the way, it ain't 1979 anymore, but I STILL want to nail her. Go figure, huh? :-)
What sucks is this is my all time favorite Cars song, easily one of their 6 or 7 best no matter who you ask.....and yet it's not on their greatest hits albums. Ridiculous. What a great rock song.
@casheasy Ditto on this being the all-time best Cars song! At least you WILL find it on their Cars Anthology double album, which was released in 1995.
What a great song with staying power. I kick back and think of the great memories of the parties, concerts, college and my old chevy nova ss. Thanks for posting
Chris! Where are you?? You introduced me to The Split Enz, Scorpions (before they ever hit the States), etc.!!! We went to Evergreen HS together. You lived in Harthwood!!! I was up the hill. Please reply!!
The only downside is that I didn't get a chance to see them in concert. But their music keeps getting better for THIS fan of that 80's sound. It beats most of today's "music" with a resounding thud. RIP Ben...
my kids found the first album in my closet...an 8 track...they wanted to know..what kind of game it was and why it was soooo big!!!LMAO The chick in the car!!!! too funny!!! to think they're 22 and 26 now..my kids that is...damn..i'm a gr ma...LOL Mr. baby likes this..i turn them on to all kinds of music..there's more to life than rap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I sold this album back in 1979 when I worked in a music store during college. I remember playing it for the first time in the store and thinking it was really good. 31 years later I'm still playing a cassette of it I recorded back then. It's good to hear it on YouTube.
I've listened to a lot of music in my day, and I'm ready to finally declare: Candy-O is the best album of all time! There, I said it. It seems to get better the more you play it.
@1217Rock Spot on! Grew up in Chicago & to this day this album moves me in more ways than one! A 5 star album! Question... Does the young generation know what real music is or "was" ???
The Cars (along with their sound) literally added another dimension to and changed music in such a profound way that their "sound" is still a major influence in the more modern era (e,g, S.O.D., Puddle of Mudd and even Prince acknowledges their influence on his career.
This is their best song. Best heard after the 2 minute mark, after they stopped dicking around with pop, and just said, "let's rock"...repeat...chorus into the ground and "rock some more"...then it just gets intense....it really sounds dangerous....They sound it and I believe it....awsome sound at 2:49 and it just builds and builds, all climax to 4:24... all that time with the Modern Lovers really pays off here...repitition (now sexed up) is a virtue....
the really intelligent aspect about this song is that towards about halfway thru it,it slowly, gradually, and gracefully progresses to the end of the song. you really dont notice this too much-even though youve heard the song a million times before. this occurs around 2:21 when the song ascends on a crest, then begins to slowly descend in tone carrying on towards the end of the song. its amazing, the song is about 4 1/2 minutes long..but the song is already ending after only 2 1/2 minutes.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
My all time favorite Cars song. Incredible that it isn't on their greatest hits album, which is on my favorite bar's juke box so I could play it every once in a while lol. What a great song!
Remember cruising in a 6.6 Liter 77 Trans Am to this. It was 8 track of course!
The Cars knew what it was to escape your parents house in muscle car and looking for your "kicks." 1979-80 was a bad year, bu tthe Cars made up for it! I am thankful to have grown up then.
Believe it or not, The Cars used to play our high school dances. Needham High, class of '76. I never made it to those dances, but I remember the posters on the wall in the cafeteria. My ex-wife whom I went to school with saw Ric Ocasek walking down the hall to the office one day to the collect their check. Like she said "You don't forget dudes who walk around looking like Ric Ocasek." LOL! True...
@ToddInLN52254 Not to take anything away from your opinion, but the keyboard lines were unbearably simple, I taught my girlfriend's grand daughter to play along on several songs from this album on her playskool bells.
Awesome song..."Letters To Cleo" did a version of this song, it has a more upbeat girly sound to it which either way its a great song ...but if I had to choose, theres nobody who does it like the original singers. the one and only CARS!!! I saw them back in the mid 80's and I loved hearing it live, it was sooo cool!!
This album cover, hands down, is and will always be my favorite. The model reminds me a bit of someone I dated in 1979, so whenever I heard this song I thought (and still think) of her. Sweet dreams, Tina...
Yhea....But Man the Headliners were BTO and crappy Beer Drinkin' Bands....We were TIED of that by then...We wanted something to Party with and not get all violent and Nachos?
I remember when I got this album .that was before the warning stickers they have now. it would sure wake up your snake if you know what I mean . me and friends liked to lift hustler mags. and got kicked off the school bus for showing the bus driver some centerfolds . these times rocked and you know the dangerous types we all go through that. the cars rock''''''''''''
I believe this was the first album I bought with my "own" money. Just got a job--loved the Cars--LOVED THE SONG because it reminded me of a gal in school. Memories.
I met the band in '79, on the promo tour for this album. They did a very strange double-take when I brought a roll of cable to the stage. Afterwards, I understood why. I bought the new record, and I or my twin was on the cover. I was a dead ringer for the model...
Saw The Cars at the old Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin TX back in '79...what a show...never saw so many pretty Texas girls shaking their ta-tas in one room...saw the Talking Heads the following Saturday night...what a two weeks!!
I was listening to this song and was thinking whatever happened to Bejamin Orr. So I googled him and found out he was dead. Very sad. He was certainly one of the driving forces behind the caqrs.
I remember these guys so well when they came out. This music was radically different at the time. There was new wave and British stuff. And then there were THE CARS. Or that's what it felt like. It was odd and different strange rhythms but somehow very very fun and enjoyable to listen to. I hear this stuff and it takes me right back to good memories.
Their bass player passed away a number of years back from pancreatic cancer. You can hear him singing in this song and he does the lead singing in a few songs.

Best heard after the 2 minute mark, after they stopped dicking around with pop, and just said, "let's rock"...repeat...chorus into the ground and "rock some more"...then it just gets intense....it really sounds dangerous....They sound it and I believe it....awsome sound at 2:49 and it just builds and builds, all climax to 4:24... all that time with the Modern Lovers really pays off here...repitition (now sexed up) is a virtue....

the really intelligent aspect about this song is that towards about halfway thru it,it slowly, gradually, and gracefully progresses to the end of the song. you really dont notice this too much-even though youve heard the song a million times before. this occurs around 2:21 when the song ascends on a crest, then begins to slowly descend in tone carrying on towards the end of the song. its amazing, the song is about 4 1/2 minutes long..but the song is already ending after only 2 1/2 minutes.

Remember cruising in a 6.6 Liter 77 Trans Am to this. It was 8 track of course!
The Cars knew what it was to escape your parents house in muscle car and looking for your "kicks." 1979-80 was a bad year, bu tthe Cars made up for it! I am thankful to have grown up then.

Believe it or not, The Cars used to play our high school dances. Needham High, class of '76. I never made it to those dances, but I remember the posters on the wall in the cafeteria. My ex-wife whom I went to school with saw Ric Ocasek walking down the hall to the office one day to the collect their check. Like she said "You don't forget dudes who walk around looking like Ric Ocasek." LOL! True...

the eerie keyboards made this song and many of their others.

@ToddInLN52254 Not to take anything away from your opinion, but the keyboard lines were unbearably simple, I taught my girlfriend's grand daughter to play along on several songs from this album on her playskool bells.

Awesome song..."Letters To Cleo" did a version of this song, it has a more upbeat girly sound to it which either way its a great song ...but if I had to choose, theres nobody who does it like the original singers. the one and only CARS!!! I saw them back in the mid 80's and I loved hearing it live, it was sooo cool!!

The power-house band that I remember them opening-for was Styx (damn good in their own right). The Cars surpassed them and stole the show.

This album cover, hands down, is and will always be my favorite. The model reminds me a bit of someone I dated in 1979, so whenever I heard this song I thought (and still think) of her. Sweet dreams, Tina...

I believe this was the first album I bought with my "own" money. Just got a job--loved the Cars--LOVED THE SONG because it reminded me of a gal in school. Memories.

I met the band in '79, on the promo tour for this album. They did a very strange double-take when I brought a roll of cable to the stage. Afterwards, I understood why. I bought the new record, and I or my twin was on the cover. I was a dead ringer for the model...

I was listening to this song and was thinking whatever happened to Bejamin Orr. So I googled him and found out he was dead. Very sad. He was certainly one of the driving forces behind the caqrs.

I remember these guys so well when they came out. This music was radically different at the time. There was new wave and British stuff. And then there were THE CARS. Or that's what it felt like. It was odd and different strange rhythms but somehow very very fun and enjoyable to listen to. I hear this stuff and it takes me right back to good memories.

Their bass player passed away a number of years back from pancreatic cancer. You can hear him singing in this song and he does the lead singing in a few songs.
