The synths, the vibes, and those unforgettable lyrics - who’s going to drive you home tonight? I'm here for it! Let me know what you think of this reaction and if you're a big fan of The Cars. What are your favorite songs by them?
    Here’s my honest reaction to "Drive," and wow... what a journey this song takes you on! Come along as I experience this iconic track for the first time.
    Lyrics Highlight: "Who's gonna drive you home tonight?
    Who's gonna tell you when
    It's too late?
    Who's gonna tell you things
    Aren't so great?"
    "Who's gonna hold you down
    When you shake?
    Who's gonna come around
    When you break?"

    The Cars changed music forever in 1978. Same year many great new bands came out like Van Halen. The Cars were known for throwing new sounds / instruments into their songs. The band had dual power vocalists with Benjamin Orrs smooth voice (on this song) and Ric's quirky voice and lyrics. YOU have to listen to their first album's songs "Just What I Needed" "My Best Friend's Girl" "Good Times Roll", "Moving in Stereo". Back when you didn't have music streaming this was one of those albums you could listen to front to back both sides and LOVE every song.

    The Cars were somewhat unique in that they had two lead singers, Ric Ocasek (rhythm guitar) and Benjamin Orr (bassist). While this song was written by Ocasek, the lead was sung by Orr. Sadly, Benjamin Orr died of pancreatic cancer in 2000, prior to the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

    Being a child of the 80s, I know the song well. It's memorable for me much more recently because I heard it on the radio after I had my Mother evaluated for dementia. The lyrics are very apt, because I had to bail her out of several situations that she had gotten herself into. This was six years ago. She passed this March. Make sure you tell your loved ones you love them often, because there might come a time when they won't remember it.

    While "Drive" is a nice song, and their biggest chart hit, it's actually fairly atypical of Cars music, which generally tends to be a lot more upbeat. Most of the other songs people are suggesting are more indicative of what you would expect of a Cars song. In particular, "You Might Think" is very fun video.

    Hi Diane! Here are a couple of '80s bands to check out: Rockpile and Translator... Rockpile was the touring band for Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds in the late '70s and early '80s. The song I would pick is "Teacher, Teacher" or "If Sugar Was As Sweet As You." Translator was a relatively unknown band from the '80s from San Francisco, but they did a really cool song called "Everywhere That I'm Not".

    I was 18 when Drive was released. Though it has been a while I've heard it last, listening it now i could still remember the lyrics, end the melody will never go away.
    As for movies and other entertainment that have used the song, the following are the ones I am aware of: A 1984 episode of the American soap opera Santa Barbara (you weren't born yet) and 2013 American TV series The Carrie Diaries.
    It was also used in the 2007 film Transformers, playing on the radio in Sam Witwicky's car, Bumblebee.
    It was also used in the series Everybody Hates Chris, in the episode " Everybody Hates the Car " in 2009.
    At least the last two are still available on streaming platforms and Transformer as DVD/Blu-ray as well. Or maybe you have heard it on the radio, it is still on occasionally (do you listen to radio?).
    A great segue to a great song to react to: "Video killed the radio star" by the Buggles. But you must have heard that, it was the first video broadcasted by MTV. 😁

  • @BigTroyT

    The Cars released their debut album in the late 70s, and were a combination of rock and new wave. They had nearly 20 hit singles from the late 70s into the early 90s, with their biggest album, Heartbeat City, spinning off a number of singles that were also made into iconic and hugely popular videos on MTV. These videos used a variety of then-new computerized techniques and were ground-breaking at the time. My favorite of those hits and videos was Magic, but all of the songs from that album featured Ric Ocasek's future third wife, model Paulina Porizkova - she'd been hired for the first video when Ric was still married to his second wife, who he divorced in 1989, marrying Paulina soon after.
    My very favorite Cars song is Let's Go, from their second album Candy-O. It's full of joy and energy and is a perfect driving, sing-along song - though to be fair, that's true of most of their music.

    The Cars were an amazing band and I loved them starting as a teen in the 80s. Both of their lead singers, Ben and Ric, had very different voices and styles but they both worked so well. I think my favorite song with Ben Orr singing is probably "Just What I Needed" and my favorite song with Ric Ocasek on lead vocals is probably "You Might Think". They had a lot of good high energy cheerful songs and they had some great videos during the heyday of MTV. Most of their songs would give lead guitarist Elliot Easton a guitar solo, and I always enjoyed those.
    Dang it, now I want to find all my Cars tapes and CDs and play them for the rest of the day. 😀

    As a fan of 'The Cars' and the band 'Heart', they both share these similarities; both bands were formed in the mid-70's, and DIDN'T have their respective lead singers sing vocals on their highest charting songs. 'Drive' was lead vocal by Benjamin Orr, and Nancy Wilson of 'Heart' lead vocal 'These Dreams'.
    Side note, Benjamin Orr's solo album 'The Lace' was outstanding!

    Call me biased, because I grew up in the Boston area, but The Cars made one of the greatest debut albums with their self-titled The Cars. Every track is great and has a special meaning. Their follow-up, Candy-O, had WAY too much to live up to because of how good and popular their first album was. Candy-O stands well on its own and together The Cars first two albums are a master class in New Wave synth pop.

    They were an amazing, brilliant, and innovative band. You want to see a crazy video, watch You Might Think or Magic. I don't think you should rely too heavily on whatever source you're getting your info from, but good on you for expanding your horizons. Still, Ric said that whenever they finished an album, he'd take the cassette to his car and listen to it there. That was the ultimate test for how it sounded, especially given their name. DO NOT sleep on this band any longer. They were among the GOAT's and remain sadly underappreciated imo, even tho they had numerous hits in the 70's and 80's.

    I knew of the Cars just did not have time to listen to their music. When I did find time to listen to music, I would times get to hear the Cars at work when one of my coworkers like Punk and such. This was when I got to listen to Berlin also. It took a short while for me to start liking the band, as this was around 1984-86. Then I got station to Bethesda Naval Hospital. No one listen to the Cars or Berlin. So, I bought a few CDs of each group and played them after work continued working. Then what both bands quit. Drive is my favorite song. I also enjoyed all those vids back in those days. On the USS Carl Vinson CVN 70, we had TVs in the berthing. The ship had 24/7 something on the TVs mostly music videos. This was 1982 when I trans off to Scotland January 1985.

    Ric Ocasek was the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the band, also the driving force and genius behind the band. However, he did not sing the lead in this song. He wrote the song in order to feature the bassist Benjamin Orr's voice. The model was his wife (Paulina Porizkova).

    They were my favorite band back from about 1979 until the mid to late 80's. Their first two albums are still amongst my favorites of all time. The drummer, David Robinson, had been in the band The Modern Lovers. The next band I really got into was Talking Heads, and their keyboardist/guitarist, Jerry Harrison, had also been in The Modern Lovers.

    The Cars have so many songs that iconify the 1980's it's insane and it is some of the MOST 1980's sounds you will hear in any music. Amazing group. 100% complete nostalgia for me. BTW, Music with this level of talent in writing, singing, delivery, and painting a picture of the moment just doesn't really exist in any significant degree these days. There is a little of it but for those that know.... think about the depth of what The Cars brought to music. It's hard to match.

    The Cars and so many other 80's band are used as background in even movies and TV. You've probably heard it thousands of times without realizing it. The cars made some of the most beautiful music of the 80's. Another top caliber immortal 80's band. There are a near uncountable nubmer of the immortals: INX, Tears for Fears, Billy Idol, The Cure, ELO, OMD, Lover Boy, The Cure, The Police, Van Halen, Genesis, Foreigner, The Fix, Squeeze, .38 Special, The Psychedelic Furs, A Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, Men at Work, Adam Ant, XTC, The Tubes, Blondie, Devo, Talking Heads, The Vapors, The Human League, Oingo Boingo, Bow Wow Wow.... doesn't even scratch the surface....

    The Cars were huge in the 80's. This song is a bit atypical for them, a very mellow, melancholy vibe. Also Benjamin Orr sings lead - it's usually Rick Ocasek. A bit of trivia, Ocasek's son Christopher Otcasek (original surname spelling) had a band called Glamour Camp. They had a hit with "She Did It". Mostly forgotten now but a real banger. Here's a link if anyone's curious: th-cam.com/video/zTxi17W_SOM/w-d-xo.html

    I own all of the albums by The Cars, plus solo efforts by Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr. I also saw the band live a few times. They still rank as my favorite band from my youth. Ric wrote everything and shared lead singing duties with Benjamin Orr (who was the favorite of the ladies). No band sounded like them.

    If you're looking to marry a beautiful super model and your perhaps not that lovely yourself become a rock star. Paulina Poriskova was one I crushed on back in the day, her and Christie Brinkley who married Billy Joel for 10 years and Rod Stewart's wife Rachel Hunter and I can't not mention Heidi Klum who also married a singer. (Seal). There's dozens more as well. Dang Rock Stars!

      Paulina is single, "looking," and complaining that she can't find any man that wants to date her because she is in her fifties. Of course her standards are modest.. you just have to be a billionaire, probably.

    Ric Ocasek most well known as the lead singer, but he often shared the duty with Benjamin Orr, who took the lead on this song. Orr also had a couple solo hits. One was “Stay the Night”, a personal favorite of mine.

    Yes, this was an unexpected favorite of mine. You absolutely need to check out (listen) more of The Cars playlist because they have so many great songs to choose from. This particular one is vastly different from the rest. And, as noted below, his name is pronounced: Oh-káy sick. Hope that helps. And yes, Paulina was Rick's beauty queen. She appeared in this video. And lastly, in this video Rick was the guy with the black hair. ,🤓👍 I enjoy your reactions. Nice. Thanks.

    Did You know alot of the cars songs are in alot of movies, tv shows, and animations? Transformers (2007) movie has the song drive in it playing on the radio in the bumblebee car. Also Your Place or Mine (2023) Movie with Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon has the song Drive. Ashton Kutcher likes the cars band alot so the movie has the songs let's go, bye bye love, good times roll, magic, just what I needed, shake it up, heartbeat city, You're all I got tonight, You might think.
    Some Adam Sandler movies have The Cars in the movies too like the Wedding Singer (1998), Mr Deeds(2002) and Click(2006). Episodes of Glee, American Dad and Family Guy.
