The Cars - My Best Friend's Girl

[The3374]

vamos todavia ric judith

[valmikecal1]

Ben sang Candy-O, Moving in Stereo perfectly....not easy listening songs!!

[CainmosniMirrored]

Ric Ocasek is the better vocalist. He gives them a personality and a certain rebellious tone. Orr makes them sound like an easy listening band.

[renzomartinsgu]

I also like Nirvana cover

[OralAgreement69]

a former friend once told me "i dont like the cars". hence the word 'former'

[klcasper11]

oh how i looove the cars!!!!!!!!!!!

[pescobar3131]

uh 69 thumbs up dont touch that top comment

[HellEachWay]

I always thought Ric Ocasek looked like Plastic-man!

[pirujatube]

I used to drive the cars, but then i took an arrow to the knee.

[7855waldo]

GM tanked. Ford tanked. AMC tanked. The Cars are the last cars standing.

[TkrB]

Any friend who dates your old girlfriend isn't really a friend at all.

[girlvegan1]

Wow small venue for a huge bad!

Is the guy at 2:04 doing a frog dance? lol

[seans10]

Eliot Easton is a bad-ass guitarist who doesn't get the credit he deserves.

[jenbunny1984]

1:38 David with the sunglasses lol

[RompeMadres201011]

Lo amooo Ben forever,)

[JokesInYou]

Never noticed before, but the lead singer has got an insane adams apple :O like holy shit

[TOSportsFan1990]

@JokesInYou You could kill a man with that thing

[Sealyfaya]

So cute!

[nicholasomesfilms]

if my best friend was going out with my ex i would either forget about and get a beer or head to the strip club

[MrFrankthetank27]

Holy shit!! these guys are better live! Not many can pull that off,Awesome performance:)

[someone552005]

@MrFrankthetank27 yeah. they were great at this year's Lollapalooza in Chicago. The drummer is using a digital drumset now though...

[jenbunny1984]

The girls love Elliot lol

[shangrigreige]

fyeah

[lilynick1]

this reminds me of me and 'Boy' driving around in his black charger with The Cars cassette tape playing full bore ....

[mjamesk1]

It has always amazed me that the Cars pretty much did pedestrian songs with the exception of this tune. I've always like the Cars, but have always felt that their tunes were 'average' (I'm not hating, just saying). But not this one....My Best Friend's Girl is just amazing. Just a perfect song. Absolute rock and roll perfection.

[KevyNova]

@mjamesk1 That's funny because just before I read your comment, I was thinking how this song (with it's simple I-IV-V chord progression) is the most musically unimaginative of all their songs. Funny how people can hear things completely differently.

[Knuckle95]

@KevyNova ....Careful.....You'll confuse him with the music terminology. ;-P

[thecarsrock]

Saw them in Concert the summer of `79, in Bloomington, Mn. Best Concert I ever saw... The Cars Rock

[brwnyisabrnchwawadgg]

here she cums again and again and again.

[grayaj23]

Cars' first album was phenomenal -- like Talking Heads' Fear of Music and other pre-BigBeat US bands. The 2nd invasion was well underway, and it was awesome to see that US rockers could match or beat the 2nd Invasion sound.

[DaveDude571]

the cars sound identical recorded and live. that's talent.

[coco0184]

some chiks digg dat addams apple...

[TheJameshulsey]

i remember one of my best friends everytime i hear em

[milpoolXXX]

Sick guitar-playing....

[MrAntoniodelamadrid]

chingona rola,,, bad ass song

[dobegirl01]

BEN just looks adoreable; and they're gettin' kissed coming up the aisle:) oooh I wish I had been there***

[dobegirl01]

@ProModChev518 YEP AWESOME!!!

[dubleceenchen29]

wishhh i was back in the 80s

[hurtin24me]

eating chawing um while singing

[edmundjscott]

This album was actually released in June 1978

[mrwizzord]

32 people dont have nuclear boots...or drip dry gloves (:))>

[socialistpoet]

the cars do indeed rock

[suporcool]

Yay, Colbert!

[kmars21]

the 80s were a trip..i was young and partied my ass off

[chaksheba]

@kmars21 the 80s were the best ever!

[PooPoo2U]

Am I the only one who's amused as fuck watching Ocasek's adam's apple move around while he sings?

[SimplyReg]

What a beautiful melodic solo in this. Looks effortless and sounds impossible.

Amazing song.

[member805639]

fan-bloody-tastic!

[ASgirl94]

Diego Gomes doesn't hold a candle to these guys. <3

[exxyeddie]

this is just what i needed!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZombyFunke]

@exxyeddie i see what you did there :)

[RonSafreed]

31 people never had a girl-friend

[801liveable]

AMERICA'S TINKER-TOY VERSION OF ROXY MUSIC...

[DeckofReason]

100% pure quality band .r.ls.

[sportschick1719]

This is garage music at it's finest! RIP Benjamin Orr <3

[the1savagebeast]

Awesome singers. But it would have sounded better if Ric didn't have gum in his mouth.

[Xavygravy]

LEGENDS!!!

[estilo5555]

nice sing :D

[awesomeshadow100]

that is not the song diego sings



[ldatrivers]

what kinda name is the cars? haha sick music tho

[roverrider]

@ldatrivers What kind of name is Idatrivers? :P Random names, but regardless, it's the people behind it that matter :)

[roadster45]

What an awesome clip !

[HiMad70]

"Tank Turner, customer satisfaction.."

[kreeepyy]

@HiMad70 Gayass movie.

[kjarsenal]

so bangin! man I miss those days!

[orange8apples]

Wow unbelievable performance. On top of their game here.

[CBRSIXPACK]

Is that Brittney @ 0.11.............??

[buck62sugar]

Only the Cars could successfully meld a rock, new wave, and hillbilly rock sound into a great song. That's why the Cars are legend and it's a travesty they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They have Funk, R and B acts but no Cars.

[redgreenjr]

Wow. Thanks so much for posting this. I would loved to have seen The Cars in a nightclub back in the day. We still miss you, Ben.

[moderatormatto]

It seems the cars created a story book of my life...like the bible did for that dude Jesus.

[bunkteish]

Kurt Cobain does a cute cover! lol

[SuperStupidPoop]

Sooo pure...sooo awesome!!! The Cars are back...RIP BEN!!!

[57highland]

Elliot was an outstanding lead guitarist. Very under-recognized.

[zs277]

i heard this on that 70's show !!! just had to look it up :)

[DancingSpiderman]

I just had an F'ed up thot that I would like to share...

I would love to see DEVO's Booji Boy get up on stage and sing lead on this tune...

[siLveRscOpe13x]

@939Socket Weird...I wasn't aware of this.

[TheRed201025]

LOL someone's name is CockPorridgePaul. Thats hilarious. Anywho, love this song :)

[eduardrosar]

Yes, there were no problems with egoes. Rick was the brain and Ben was the front man, but Rick had no problem about it. They were real good friends.

[NecroFeelYouUp]

@MrHawkeye321 Why were you arguing with that idiot for so long? Ben was a GOD! In fact, I think he's marinated in the ground long enough. He's buried in the Boston Memorial Cemetery. I'll go dig him up and show him how a TRUE fan shows his love.

[FilthyPottyMouth]

@MrHawkeye321 Just so you know...RandomSpewBros posts were in fact based on fact.

Ben Orrs fascination with young nigger boys nearly got him arrested back in '83 and also almost got him kicked out of The Cars.Rikki Rocket even replaced Orr on part of one tour after Orr was found backstage fondling the tender nutsack of a coon kid named Cleotis...apparently millions had to be paid in hush money.

Orr was a poop packer and that likely makes you one also for liking him...Jew fag.

[RandomSpewBros]

@MrHawkeye321 That story truly WAS false. It should've read "MAN MARRIES BIGFOOT". That was about me marrying my filthy wife. She has a chum churner between her legs that produces gallons of fish bait a day. Good thing we live near the Gulf and can sell that shit. Anyway, Ben Orr once had his stomach pumped after making his mouth a human toilet in a little league baseball game bathroom stall. Ben was a master of disguise but was a fucking pervert!

[RandomSpewBros]

@MrHawkeye321 You talk as if fucking one's mom is bad or something. Let's stick to the topic at hand: Ben Orr's cavernous guano geyser. Rolling Stone Magazine reported that he used to wrap toy dolls in plastic wrap and stuff them up his crap cannon. He had a whole village living in his noxious dung dungeon. That's no reason for you to get mad at me, bro. I'm just reporting facts. We'll get to his love for young boys later but right now I'm dealing with his ass.

[DMCAYourass]

@RandomSpewBros dude there you go with the "we'll get to the young boys" scenario again. You are one sick fucking puppy mate. Crikey I reckon we have caught ourselves a right royal fiddler of the underage here. So what are you, 40ish, locked up in your dank little suburban house in the middle of boretown. Slap the wife and kids around and wonder why no one loves you? hence this inane desire to trawl the internet trying hard to have people feel like you do..worthless....lmao cool story bro

[HALOPROPRO]

anyone realize how the lyrics are extremely similar to jessies girl?

[Englander30]

Love that Rockabilly sound. They just don't write 'em like this anymore. Epic.

[RandomSpewBros]

@MrHawkeye321 Actually I DID have sex with him. I filled his asspipe so full of dicksnot that he had to build cum gutters around his waist so he wouldn't splosh it all over the stage. He had a tiny cock, by the by.

[mamours50]

Trop bien cette chanson des Cars........Trop bien "The Cars" tout simplement ♥

[KINOLOCO1]

Love The cars man.

[1983REDROCKSU2]

I didn't want my best friends girl any more~

[susannahque]

Love Love Love this song!!!!!1 I can't believe he is chewing gum and singing and playing guitar!!!!

[YouTubulizer]

Hey! He's chewing gum! Funny :)

[yodelifyoucan]

i cry i love this song so munh

[yodelifyoucan]

i cry i love this somg so much

[siLveRscOpe13x]

Good thing my best friend is a straight female. Don't have to worry about this kind of thing. :P

[GrBlends]

Gayyyyyy, I didn't want a shitty live version,.. I want studio version ;|

[paintedship]

think a lot of the recent comments below prove how low society has come, yeck

[MrNobodysfool1]

No one has a voice like his. Unmistakeably The Cars!

[TheCause0fWetPanties]

I remember being very young and going to see this band with my older sister.We had seats back row.She started fondling my nuts in between songs.She was always so annoying that way...after she made me nut real quick she tried getting my pooper pole ready to go at her jizz cellar yet again!

I was so pissed off I just said"Fuck off I don't even love you... fatty!"

She cried the whole show but at least she left me in peace I was only about 10 and really into The Cars back then.My cock lactates.

[woooooooooo101]

absolutly in this situation right now if he is cheating on her is it justified?

[Honeydripperbloke]

yeah, this was the 70's. Doh!

[Wyatt19961212]

Everybody loves the 80s

[wisesatyr72]

this band is so Original..

[verse47]

ppsh24--hahahaha that is probably SO TRUE!

[stang062377]

This video reminds me of when bands could put on a good show by just going out and playing well, especially in a small venue like that... Love the cars music!

[RandomSpewBros]

@stang062377 Benjamin Orr died horribly of aids. That'll teach that faggot to cross swords and swap sperm with queers like Rob Halford and Boy George. Suck cock in hell, gayboy! HAHAHAAA!

[scodee]

@RandomSpewBros

Dickhead !!

[flipflopper]

@RandomSpewBros I hope your mom feels as much ashamed as she should be for giving birth to such an f*cking idiot!

[RandomSpewBros]

@flipflopper My mom tried to scramble me with a giant fish hook while I was nestled all snug up her abortion barn. The bitch didn't succeed! HAHAHA! You must be one of those gay faggots like Ben Orr. How does sperm taste? Just wondering. I might have a go at it if I can find a dude that's not all girly-like. Not gay, just sayin'.

[MsDisneyWitch]

@RandomSpewBros It's a shame she did not succeed in that endeavor...

[dewaynecullen]

@RandomSpewBros what the fuck you mean not gay?! Dude - either you suck dick or you don't!!

[maillady22]

Too funny, the guy that i was dating played this song all the time. I ended up marrying his best friend.

[FilthyPottyMouth]

@maillady22 You filthy Jew whore.

If you were my woman I'd play this cranked... maybe tap your corn spitter before reminding you to get back in the kitchen where you belong.

Then this song would have more meaning to you than just a reminder of your slut days and one of your many sexual conquests and subsequent heartbreaks only Jew tramps like yourself deliver.

Sometimes my cock lactates man milk.

[hectorsalina]

This song has the same chords as Marty Stuart song Tempted, which was also a big hit. Marty's hair might even be bigger than The Cars!

[mowsercat2008]

i love this song, im so glad that so many others remember it!!!!!

[100Lizardking]

I was the best friend you should have taken better care.

[pargaluvva]

WTF I absolutely love this song!!! Long live The Cars!!!!!

[DickLodge68]

Easton is awesome! I love the simplicity of it....this is plain fun R&R!

[MrDavkoz]

The Cars were my first rock concert back in 1983. Great band, great memories!

[mysisdellmademe]

when they are on their way in.....a couple of girls grab elliot and kiss him. love it!

[rtracy01]

still one of the coolest songs ever period. and one of the coolest bands in American music.

[rtracy01]

still one of the coolest songs ever period.

[jeanya]

HERE SHE COMES AGAIN! Good shi-ite!

[pettysbitch]

Ilove love this song................and yes, they kicked ass! AND bEN DAMN IT... wtf! YOU ROCKED MY FEMALE WORLD!

[BullshitsMike]

I'm all for the dark sounds music they have, but I like this and "Just what I needed." A lot more than moving in stereo and good times roll.

[davem62290]

Thats the Shit!! CARS Timeless..

[BullshitsMike]

This band is legendary. They are great at songwriting, they preform well, they record well, and if you noticed, they don't have that feeling that the guitar is a crazy maniac with a solo, but they keep a good balance of clean, strong, and it stays very well inside the lines of music theory.

[steshimmie]

Bad ass exemplified

[ubstarfl]

Just a matter of time before they select the CARS to be in the Hall of Fame!!!

[IABOY4444]

Another thing I liked about The Cars is the way they worked TOGETHER as a Group. No ego trips, just Great Music. Very original & talented, Should be in the Hall of Fame, without question!

[chestnut2333]

@IABOY4444 Could not have said it better, amen brother ! ! !

[THECARS7879]

@IABOY4444 this comeback should put them in the hall of fame, a long over do entry already

[pipepinhead84]

@IABOY4444 Do you really think they need to be in that rock and roll hall of crap??? We all love their music as we love the music of a lot of rock and roll hall famers. LEGACY!

[pipepinhead84]

@IABOY4444 Do you really think they need to be in that rock and roll hall of crap??? We all love their music as we love the music of a lot of rock and roll hall famers, there is no difference, just the opinios of a bunch of assholes. LEGACY COMES FIRST!

[akibaforyou]

gee i wonder where rick springdfuck got his inspiration

[wotinblooblazes]

Buddy Holly meets Sweet...I forgot how much I liked this song

[largelester]

@wotinblooblazes more like if Buddy lived through the 60's and grew a mullet

[leosperez1970]

doesnt know a real surpri-i-i-ise

[SlayerCrampsMisfits]

Aint gonna find a much better band

[s46d45m17]

These fucken guys were the best man I wish I was 16 AGAIN

[acprimus631C]

Never seen Elliott with a Fender! Sure makes those country-ish leads sound great.

[TheKilnman]

i was only 8 years old when this song came out and i still love i, a great classic kilnman

[lamarhooten]

I'd luv to hear a Honky Tonk version!! Almost there!!!

[ppsh24]

26 people disliked this song cuz their bestfriend took their girl

[thompson1901]

@ppsh24 like this song because my best friend took my girl- she had bad B.o....

, Ha ha

[espe225]

what a great band. so unfortunate they're underrated. they sound good. BOoya to cars fans

[marrycee]

the BEST ever !!!! FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!! So far ahead of everyone elase in the musical world....

[marrycee]

the BEST ever !!!! FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[taiwan1962]

awesome band ! shame it had to end !!! rip ben

[aspiceno]

Love the Ben Orr 'stare', 1:13-1:20. He seems to be saying to Elliot Easton:

'Great guitar picking, continue....!' RIP, Ben.

[shmuli9]

@aspiceno He looks in this video rather like a "New Wave Barry Manilow"...

[asteshuby]

recuerdo esta canción en la época mas perturbada de mi vida... y mi novia me importaba un pito!

[deriter64]

I'd forgotten The Cars. What fun!

[johnmarstonification]

they sound good live

[TNTIV]

nirvana'a vision is funny enough that it sounds awasome haha

[FLSHBK1]

@PaintedShip: Thanks. I was thinking that guy on the far left (the Southpaw) was playing bass, but you're right ~ it's Orr who's running that great riff. It sticks in my head until I have to come back here and listen to it again and again.

When I think of all the great songs the Cars did (Best Friend's Girl, Just What I Needed, Let's Go, etc), it's a wonder that their top seller (Drive) sounded so very different from the others. Totally different vein, almost like a different band. I miss them.

[paintedship]

does anyone know where this was filmed? It looks like it's from 77 or 78

[stanharveisen]

hey timmybear, they are cars clones...

[FLSHBK1]

Who's the left-handed bass player here? He has the most fun in this song ~ I could listen to that run all day.

[paintedship]

@FLSHBK1 Ben Orr
