    I lost my wife of 27 years on Dec 11, after she battled cancer for 4.5 years. She was only 57. I miss her desperately. We both loved these guys since 1978. Now I can't listen without losing it. Especially this song. I love you Nancy. I miss you so so much

      Growing up in Scotland, very few people knew about this song.
      I loved it then. I love it now.
      Try to a bit of happiness every day.

    I wonder if The Cars knew how much we loved them? They were quietly one of the best bands us kids from the 80's grew up with. I love how all the movies from the 80's included at least one song of theirs. You HAD too, they define that time, and were one of the few bands that crossed the musical boundries of rock, punk, and alternative.

    Way ahead of the times. Fun. Clean cut. Humble dedicated musicians. They handled the fame, the money, the drug scene, the media, the fans, the commercialism, MTv was new, videos nusic was new. They really were 5 Talented musicians, each no more important than the other, this band really was the ultimate. Ben gone almost a quarter of a century. Ric's unexpected passing,. Thank you David, Greg and Elliot for being integral parts of the whole band, the whole scene. Thanks for growing up and old with us. THE CARS FOREVER. IMMORTAL ON FILM AND RECORDINGS FOREVER.

    The Cars are often thought of as a 80's band. They were in fact a 70's band. They did define a generation. They were without a doubt, one of the best studio bands ever! Live performances weren't exciting, but it's not their fault, that just wasn't what they were about. I still can't help but listen whenever their songs are played. I think they knew how much they were appreciated.

      +BigBadBampa Let me be your assistant, 1984 was THE highlight year of my best decade, i would even exchange my "whatever remaining time" for just ONE month of 1984, it was just another life on another planet and i was simply invincible (or at least that's how i felt, at the end of the day alll that matters is the feeling ;-))

      BigBadBampa Same here bro, actually my back kills me right now (i'm not even overweight, i couldn't afford that even if i wanted to with the bloody back of mine), these are the results of sports, i should hear to good old Churchill's quote "sports are murder" ;-D And all the crashes with the motorbike in the 80's of course ;-D , didn't realize "then" that someday i would pay the price for it. And yes we probably should better follow the motto "die young and leave a beautiful corpse", but i guess it's a bit too late for that now. Actually i could stand everything if the world wouldn't be so extremely boring and uncool nowadays, i mean...even my parents had more fun in the 80's than the 20-25 years kids nowadays. I wouldn't exchange my 80's and 90's life experiences for being a 20 years old nowadays, not even for a spine of steel ;-D
      Stay cool & noble mate and ROCK ON ! ;-)

      RimeTime I guess it's how you look at things. Guitar solos in songs by The Cars are very overlooked, and it's been said in music publications. Also, These guys had a very different sounds for modern rock bands in the late 70s. That and sadly, these guys weren't able to conquer Europe or other territories. So I'd say they're pretty underrated. Not that they weren't successful, It just doesn't seem that they're categorized with other BIG NAME bands. Just a thought, though...

      CartoonsAndGameShows Shake it up (as a single) went to number 10 in Austrailia. And up to number 10 in France. At times they were on the charts
      around the world. You underestimated their range. But as for conquering bands, yeah they did not have the impact like conquering bands such as Led Zeppelin,
      the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Van Halen - etc. But you can blame the radio programmers in part. Back then, when you got less air play you got less attention.

    This is one of the bands that defined my life as a teenager in the early 1980's. In the mid 1990's I was privileged to live and manage a Gramercy Park, NY restaurant where they were frequent visitors. I spent time with Paulina (Mrs Ocasek) at the Union Square dog run where she would bring their dog Dexter (a beautiful King Cavalier Spaniel) to play. They were and always will be a beautiful memory in an unforgettable time of my life. I love The Cars, and I will forever cherish having my path cross theirs, even briefly. I frequently would see Ric at the local grocery store buying eggs and milk and cereal for his family. I told him how his band and his music shaped my life. He was gracious and courteous and was not at all offended by being recognized. My heart goes out to his family at a time which can only be described as a devastating loss. His music will live on forever.

    The Cars are as iconic a band to me as there was in the late 70's to the mid 80's. When memories of high school come up, The Cars music and vibe are right there with those memories and when i here a song by them some high school memory always follows. My teenage days in the midwest theme song at my H.S. was "Let the good times roll". The link with Fast times at Ridgemont High soldified there history with teens everywhere and not just the midwest as i had presumed. Moving in stereo is to The Cars what Tom Saywer is to Rush. The irony of 2 of the best bands in that same era still being played today on stations yet taking so long to be inducted in R & R Hall of Fame is almost irritating if you really think about it. Both bands also showed longevity so not to mistake them with other 1 or 2 album bands. I think i was pretty lucky to grow up listening to such talented musicians/writers with there own unique styles and attitudes
