The Cars - Just what I needet

[LuckyDeb61]

My God! What did they do to the audio? Is this the brilliant stuff record labels used to do to make bands sound younger? To alter Benjamin Orr's voice is sacrilege.

[BabsTen]

I looooooooove Ben.

[taigkyo]

Sure Ben looks like a god, but Greg's got THAT MUSTACHE!

[plasticape2]

@101catsville cool

[OdeaAnderson]

Does anyone else find the dancing weird in this video? First of all why are they dancing and not watching the band (except for a couple of girls in the front), especially taking in hot Ben Orr? And the dancing seems so old-fashioned or something and way too sedate. If I was at a dance and this song came on (and it was a record), I know that my friends and I would be rocking out. No one that I know during those days danced like that.

[stargazer477]

OMG Benjamin Orr...where do I start? He is irresistable on all levels. You name it....he has it...looks, talent, charm, charisma etc etc etc....

[LAwoman1956]

Sheesh, (screwing?) Ben was heart throb and I've always had a huge crush on him from back in the day. His manner is just like Paul McCartney's om stage in this footage, Ben loved the Beatles.

[kangalic]

@LAwoman1956 and Ocasek was like Lennon sorta

[ThePokerfacemama]

@kangalic Yeah but unlike Lennon and McCartney, Ric and Ben were very close and didn't have that competitive thing going. Ric did a lot of the videos because Ben didn't like to stand around all day making them. He even said that in an interview. Also, Ric admits Ben had the better voice which is why he always gave him the harder songs to sing.

[ThePokerfacemama]

@LAwoman1956 I also notice that. There is something very similar to Ben and Paul McCartney - the mannerisms, the voice, the onstage presence...

[patlavert]

Ric Ocasek one of the best pop songwriters of his day. Rest of the band technically solid as well.  RIP Ben Orr. I liked his vocals more than Rics on songs like this one. And oh man did the girls of this time period love their songs.

[gimmeshelter72]

ha ha cheeky record label " live" version" yeah, umm thast sped up 4% and abit louder ha!

but is much more rockin than the lp vers. killer song

[nagahide13]

Hehe. Pretty much just the studio version dubbed onto some live footage.

[LoveRooster]

the best version i have heard of this song, an absolute classic!!!

[perpetual61]

I'd gladly go back to 1978 when this Gem was released. I remember thinking back then, this is Cool and different and Far Ahead of it's Time.

[LBjim]

RIP Ben Orr...

[VL1302]

Nice to hear this again. Cheers for posting.

Well, actually he's singing because he was lead vocals on this song. :)

[castlekingside28]

This song always makes me want to cry. weird!

[Slance1]

He looks his best here, really bad that this is lip-synching!

[CowHead222]

[CowHead222]

lip-synching :(

[ItawambaRocks]

They are lip-synching. This is the studio version. Great song though.

[Tubeador]

They are not lip-synching. The audio was adapted.

[ItawambaRocks]

Yes they are bitch!

[ap366]

I LOVE BEN ORR

[ap366]

ben orr the best

[wjv4me]

This was a later 70s song. Somewhere between 1978-80 I'd saw. Great group, sad the lead singer died...loved this song!

[rebelxchickx]

one of the greatest 70s rock bands even though they are more known for their 80s videos.

[ppettit]

What year was this?

[claudiall]

Judging by Benjamin Orr's hair, I'd say about '79?

[salee320]

1978
