[EPIK562]

[Skoal36]

78 people didn't get what they needed=)

[mw3viper]

just like old times ummm

[Anophis]

So great!

[Radiohead4121]

Classic, I've heard this in my whole life in commercials and everywhere around me but never found out it was by The Cars, till I actually typed The Cars and found this song.

[kneapoe51]

About my favorite tune by them. It's pretty close but this HAS to be it . A monster tune....for sure. Thanks for uploading this one. Love it. : )

[1908AnnoCatuli]

Shaggy-haired Luke Skywalker on lead vocals

[TheNosferatu1969]

Don't read too much into the the 70's and 80's thing: it's just a great f-----ing song :-)

[sbond1963]

I remember the blue dodge cruisin through Westfod

[ezt123dp]

the synth gets me every time!

[ChameleonsUKfan2012]

The Cars was Pop back in the 70s and early 80s and yet they were a great band. Pop was never considered "Likable" in those days. It was "Sell out corporate fluff invented by guys in offices". now Mainstream today is Pop. and it sounds like theatrical music. great for a play or maybe a nightclub but to hear people listen to lady gaga and wobble their head around like a wobblehead on a dashboard is both amusing and sickning! apparently the more I bitch the more "suggested" videos I get for crap!

[brikrantz]

The CARS rocked. Underrated. Next to the Police, they are probably the most important rock band from the dismal late 70s to early 80s period. RIP Ben Orr.

[cjnoerr]

Great hit song !!!

[aprilglaspieable]

Eliot Easton was the Cars secret weapon.

[rasskal]

@aprilglaspieable Yeah, he can play every style. He's not a technician but is really a player.

[1lostsoldier1]

these guys rocked us 3 times at market square arena.That was a great memory of concerts they turned it in something like a garage.Hell it was Elvis's last concert

[giulialatini]

could these guys be any skinnier?! Ah..... good times!

[trekcannondale11]

Cool thanks for sharing sweet memories

[nanard535]

rien de commercial..

[lukasestu]

I guess this is just what I need it

[iloveoreos15]

Oh HELL yes.

[RidingSausage]

i bet you a donut that if you made all the artists of today from rap hip hop and anything else restart and try to get famous without the help of record companies, wed have half the retarded songs and artists we got right now. unlike back then when people were good because they were good.

[HarryDude54]

Elliott eastern plays some sweet riffs :DD

[TheFishegg]

I think the singer looks like rutger hauer

[zm8y]

Lead singer reminds me of the guy tht played luke skywalker :P

[trevotehpure]

Shit, aren't they just headbanging the fuck outta themselves. Haha, just playin, old band, great songs still. Real down to Earth, but I'll be moving back over to Iron maiden, Megadeth, Disturbed, and my usuals.

[franmandc]

Yeah, they'll get their Secirity Checks this year but we'll never be as cool as they are when they listened to the cars.

[linkinpark9503]

-3 gosh

[zeesbff]

Could someone make a lyrics video for this please!?

[alecjahn]

@zeesbff Try... Google? I found the lyrics in about 5 seconds of effort.

[zeesbff]

Can someone make a lyrics video pleasssssse!!!! I've been looking for the lyrics but I can never find it! :)

[ProPoe1]

@zeesbff There is one, just look a couple videos below this one.

[kja427]

Hate to say it, BUT, The cars weren't appropriate for The 70's. I believe The 80's was the perfect decade for The Cars. Nice tune, though.

[THECARS7879]

@kja427 The CARS were formed in 1977and put out two cds in the 70s and bridged the 70s and 80s. Therefore they aren't just an 80s band. They went into the 80s so they weren't just a 70s band either.

[USA1749NY2SFnSD2Fork]

Sweeeeeeet...

[xkcman]

is the sound/video off kilter or am i super high tonite?

[Jogeta5]

Michael Winslow - Truck Driver FTW!!!

[blakeyonthebuses]

[guppyworld540]

If it weren't for the Strokes covering this song I would have never remembered how awesome this band was!

[auntdonut35]

[scotty2hottieforyou]

[freddieclark]

I went to see these guys in Dallas many years ago and their sound was shit, the whole thing was salvaged by the support band who were great,

[MeoCaroline]

Came here coz of 'Stacey's Mom'.

[007king94]

this was back in the good old days where people were famous for how good they performed live and then they gained success and made records afterwards

[TheTalkSyetShow]

[dairyqueen76]

[exaltdm]

RIP, Benjamin... Cars own a piece of my heart.

[MylesCalebRyder]

Bear Lake did a song called scissor and I automatically thought of this song!

[ColdOasisU2]

Ric Ocasek is an underated singer songwriter

[gamecatcher99]

[wizzyroxx]

[uyworldtraveler]

@wizzyroxx The Strokes are an American rock band from New York City who rose to prominence in 2001 in the midst of the garage rock revival. Their influences include The Velvet Underground, Television, the Talking Heads, and the Cars.

[oscar2k111]

can't go wrong with luke sky walker singing

[WilliamLaSalle]

Amazing.

I am a fan.

This is happy music.

[zm8y]

The leader singer look like luke sykwalker much?

[thenolanful]

@zm8y i think he looks stoned....

[mrklawonn]

im 16 and i love this music and most modern music sucks i was born way too late

[DTNeutrino]

@mrklawonn we dont fucking care.

[ProPoe1]

@mrklawonn No you weren't. Just suck it up. Be a man. Ignore the bad modern music, it's not hard.

[AutiBug11]

67 people didn't get what they needed..

[MrGravity747]

the old classics are the best unlike this rap crap bull#$%@

[TheSyrupMan]

@MrGravity747 shut the fuck up 

[MarchingTheBeat]

Thumbs up if you're here because of No-Ca$h.

[ACDC640]

i could swear that was bill fichtner

[Reverendjim1]

What a great song! Made even greater today by the lack of such...

[josez1]

some of those people dancing.......... will start getting their Social Security checks this year.

.

.

.

[ruthietreselan]

@josez1 not true==not true at all...

I grew up with The Cars and am nowhere near collecting SS

even they themselves are not old enough

[northernlitez1]

@josez1 If thats true-I've been screwed-havent collected a penny-its my money and I want it now!!

[mexikoAMERIKA]

DOPE ass ROLA

[grayaj23]

Ric Ocasek and Bobby Orr -- Cars had two great lead singers.

[northernlitez1]

@grayaj23 I think Bobby Orr played for the Bruins-this is Benjamin Orr

[laxroxmonkey]

some songs *hint ^ * will stick around for a LONG time and 67 people wont

[jshrivera846]

born in 1987...dis wuz way b4 my time bt i know good music when i hear....the sarcastic simplicity of the lyrics and rythyms are timeless....classic:)

[powerstriker1234]

good song

[THECARS7879]

I ve did karaoke on this song severeal times and it always sounds awesome.

[canacourse]

Great stuff

[whoo689]

It's the Circuit City song!!

Nah, I'm j/k

[pdaddyraz]

"Wastin' all my time">>>> Idon't mind you comin here...BEST music of all time.

[wed2bfed]

awesome.

[JumpingOverNAirplane]

His voice is so gorgeous.

[garylongden]

Dreadful. I should have realised when Bob Harris eulogised them.Fortunately Punk blew this away. Derivative, vacuous and meaningless.

[PooPoo2U]

@garylongden: I've been listening to punk for years and I'll be the first to tell you: The Cars are badass.

[Svetlahna]

@PooPoo2U The Cars are awesome, but they are NOT punk!

[PooPoo2U]

@Svetlahna: Where did I say they were?

[Svetlahna]

@PooPoo2U It's as though you're implying they are punk from how you phrased your comment

[PooPoo2U]

@Svetlahna: Nowhere in my comment does it imply anything of the sort.

[Svetlahna]

@PooPoo2U Did to me, poo poo, but don't worry- you're forgiven.

[PooPoo2U]

@Svetlahna: Forgiven for what, the fact that you can't read?

[Svetlahna]

@PooPoo2U Lol. Chill out man. You're becoming pathetic.

[unexpectedMEOW]

the cars sounded very modern for their time, they kind of invented their own genre. thats why i admire them

[evoxjacob7]

Mellow party song

[TheRaisinlover]

Sunglasses?

[xkcman]

perfect from start to finish, totally underated as one of the best albums ever, in my top 5 anyway

[jimbamboozled]

You have to put, "Let the Good Times Roll" on the list of the best Cars songs. Just for the pure beat or, I don't what to call it. It gets you in a groove.

[dobegirl01]

OMG **faints**

[gilllianlewis730]

ALTHOUGH THIS WASNT THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AS THEIR OTHER SONGS ("DRIVE" AND "MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL") WAS MY FAVOURITE (PROBABLY SOMEWHAT UNDERRATED)

[SIllyMikey70]

Takes me back to times when the world was alot more simple.

[BeatleMonkeegirl15]

This song is SO FUN to play on rhythm guitar!!!! :) I LOVE The Cars!

[danielreyes10]

Thumbs up if you are here because of the strokes and jarvis cocker

[GilbertSmith]

@danielreyes10 Fuck the Strokes.

[danielreyes10]

@GilbertSmith Fuck Yourself.

[GilbertSmith]

@danielreyes10 Never heard of them.

[TheRockingtam]

this sends me right back to driving around in my pals new VW Golf giving it loads of "look at us". & that was a lifetime & a half. stoned nights & speedy days."just what I needed".RIP Tam-G.

[JPJPJPJAMESJPJPJP]

I had never heard of this until i saw the strokes play it live at reading the other day..now i can't stop listening to it. :D

[dislexicX]

can a brotha get some cheap thumbs up?

[HalfFullYeah]

Thumbs up if Youtube still exists in 2055!!

[alligeeee]

Goose bumps 

[JOSHOCEANS]

The strokes did a great cover check it out

[Penri02]

Not heard of the band before. It's nice that big bands like the Strokes cover old song because otherwise people will miss out on great music like this. I think more bands should cover other peoples song in their gigs, show their fans what got them into music and what they could be missing. Brilliant song and I'm glad I've found it. Thank you Strokes and thank you The Cars for this wonderful song =)

[JaseTheFaceHarper]

Thumbs up if you see the strokes and jarvis cocker cover this at reading!

[heightofearnestness]

@JaseTheFaceHarper I couldn't care less if The Strokes covered it, the original far surpasses it.

[JaseTheFaceHarper]

@heightofearnestness I wasn't asking for an opinion though was I? you prick xxx

[carlo88moe]

funny how since the strokes covered this, suddenly everyone's been fans of the cars "for awhile" lol

[JWOLFPACK]

Here because of The Cars.

[lysimachus321]

[fanisgm]

[lindseyscrazyhouse]
