Never wastes my time listening to this feisty number.
It is feisty isn’t it?🤔
RIP the two members of The Cars
Ric Ocasek (March 23, 1944 - September 15, 2019), aged 75
Benjamin Orr (September 8, 1947 - October 3, 2000), aged 53
You both will be remembered as legends.
Orr had that voice too, what a shame
Pancreatic Cancer is a bitch.
Idk what killed Ric though.
@@joshv5376 orr was top notch, cant listen to ric's voice for very long
@@onyxsh0cks456 why?
@@فاصلااصاسااثوسعستسعوث he had a weird voice idk. Not a fan.
Ben had the best voice in the Cars.
Ric Ocasek acknowledged that many times.
@@jcam42smart man
He most certainly did. God gifted him with gorgeous looks and so much talent.❤️❤️❤️❤️.
I thank God I grew up with this music.
u growed up yo?
💯😂
Nací en el año perfecto 1964 y vivi todo el rock británico EEUU y latinoamericano , gracias totales monstruos de la música
We taught God this music 😂
Thats actually a really cool way to think of it@Renee6261
Man
..they were the epitome of 80's before the fucking 80's
Iconic.
Yep, this. So many people think they're an 80s band, but they got their start well before the 1980s.
Benjamin Orr's voice was unique......not modified by other sounds.......his voice was an instrument in and of itself. Beautiful.
I always thought Rik was British
This is really well said. Benjamins voice was unique.
Well said Martha :D
Benjamin Orr- so gorgeous and talented
It's funny, I like Ocasek's singing better, but most of my favorite Cars songs are the ones Orr sings.
That synth tone is everything
A little dirty sawtooth, a little smooth square wave, recipe for happiness.
I was a DJ at my school in the Soviet Union in 1984. At the disco, I included this song three times in a row. The Сars band was one of my favorites on my playlist.
Interesting & cool! I always thought 'Western' music wasn't really available back then,in the USSR or other communist countries.
@@markhealey9409 This is true. It was quite possible to obtain recordings of famous Western groups in the Soviet Union at that time. Although vinyl records fetched huge prices on "the black market", tape recordings of these records were more affordable.
what other songs from the eightees were your favorite ones?
@@rockwhk , There were many groups. They mainly represent the style of synth-pop and new wave. I remember groups like Depeche Mode, Men at Work, Yazoo etc. But for some reason, in addition to the songs of the The Cars, I especially remember the song "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles.
Men at work 🌏
I'm in Australia 🦘@@РадиславМархасин
Every time I hear this song it brings me back to the summer of 1981, first boyfriend and being young!
Wanted a lift ....These Cars are just what I needed .
The Cars were an anomaly. Little bit New Wave, little bit classic rock, and a whole lotta cool. No wonder their songs are still all over the radio.
The Cars rocked, I agree, one of the best bands ever. They jelled. Miss them and Ben.
Your right had a little 50s in it to
what is classic rock you interminable douche
@@nutsackmania Your name suits you. nutsack.
So cool to this day, I agree.
I was today years old when I realized there were 2 lead singers! Grew up on the Cars! Benjamin Orr was gorgeous! Where the Hell was I ???
I'm glad I scrolled down! I was also entirely today years old! I thought I was a New Wave master! Humbled...I love this pretty dude! 😅
45 years ago today.... this piece of magic was released...
I had no clue it was that old. I thought it was late 80s or early 90s music when I was growing up at that time lol
I also didn't realize they sang one of my favorite songs ever, Drive. 🙏
i love this song. Its a masterpiece, never ever gets old. Just as good now as it was in 1978.
If we could only freeze time...
Masterpiece indeed
I remember the first time i heard this song on the radio in 1978. I had no idea who The Cars were at the time but they sounded like no other band. Hard to believe that was almost 45 years ago...
No l@@kathygrinder3076
@@BK_2016sr5L L
Songs back then were just as great live as they were on their albums. Not today!
You need to check out Michael Kiwanuka. Genius composer and songwriter spanning a ton of genres.
Well, when a band is a real band they sound as good or better live! The Cars were a real band. I miss them.
This ain't live
Amazing song for the 70's, it sounded so different ot the other music at the time, Cars were really on top of the 80's pop sound before the 80's
No its70s sounds going into the 80s PERIOD 70s sounds started in the late 70dz
70s pop sound indeed
NOPE 70s Pop Going into the 80s
To me it sounds like a song that would come out in the 80s.
Was this a serious comment? Cars were in genre' All their own
RIP Ric Ocasek. Thank you for all the good tunes as I grew up.
Ditto!
R.I.P ROCKSTARS RIC AND EDDIE.♥️🌟
Rough few days between Ric & Eddie. At least they left us a lot of great music. Feeling sad though.
What did he die from?
@@charleshall9755 It's a long name I can't remember how it's spelled but it's artery blockages. He had surgery and was recovering and passed away a few days later.
He was with his wife and family and died peacefully in his sleep.
I have the same thing and no insurance so I'm not far behind him lol
R. I. P. Ric and Ben 💖🌹
This song is a masterpiece..
It was a privilege for me to have lived in the 80's...
Hi this was actually from 78 despite looking and feeling like the early 80s.
This song gave us a glimpse into the beginning of the 80s when everyone was still drunk on disco. (I still love disco).
High School 78-82 Best years ever! We literally went to every rock concert that came to town. Such fond memories. No better time than the 80's The Cars were so distinctive and original
I'm always trying to describe how great the 80s were to my teenage daughter. My words to her really can't do it justice!
@@lorri763 I can so relate to your comment ° I have told my kids when I die I want them to remember and find peace and comfort in knowing if I could have picked any century or decade to be a teenager GOD blessed me with the perfect time to come into this world graduating in 1983 because the late 70s and the 80s were the absolute BEST ♥️ I got to raise them listening to all the best music and now my grandchildren get to enjoy it 🥰 my grandson is 10 and my granddaughters are 7 and 1 with another on the way ° the older ones listen to their own music but also enjoy listening to the awesome music we grew up with ° what cooler GIFT could we give our descendants than strolling through the 70s and 80s 😎 I thought the 80s were the beginning of the BEST to come but sadly it was the END 😢 and not just music but great movies, sitcoms, primetime TV shows ° it's all GONE 💔 I'm so grateful that we have these MTV videos to show our grandchildren, the LIVE AID concert, and "We are the World" so many talented musicians were a part of that song and watching them rehearse it is awesome 🥳 knowing we were living the best years of our young lives through all that ° there are no more MTV music videos 😢 ° all good things must come to an END ...
А я родилась в 1976 году, слушаю и радуюсь.
Best cars song.
🎯💯🤘
This is one of the happiest performances I’ve seen from Benjamin. You can tell he’s thoroughly engaged & enjoying himself~head bopping along. Great times!!
It’s not live - it’s the studio track They are miming it
@@flyingburritobro68 Are you sure? His voice sounds slightly different here.
@@lunaluck1060 It's mimed, sorry.
@@atomicwedgie8176 No need to be sorry... thanks for letting me know. Is there a live version of it on youtube?
@@lunaluck1060 Yes, several. Can't recall them offhand... sorry.
Ben Orr's voice is as pure as it gets and Elliott Easton is a totally underrated guitarist. Tasteful and dextrous...amazing.
Elliot is very much respected in the guitar community. The guy’s a fantastic player.
Love Ben's voice, so sultry and rockin
I'd agree. He's one of the reasons I play guitar. Wow. That's all you can say. Wow.
Yes perfect solo
I love the way Ben smiles when he sings, beauty and masculinity
Ben looked like he was top of the world, having a great time!
Yup
Coolest pic in rock - Ben with a rose stem in his mouth
I bet he was❤
I LOVE the way he says “and, you look so fancy I can tell” 😭❤️
This is “just what I needed!”
I love how cheerful Benjamin was in this performance 😊
Because he was cooked 😂
If your a kid watching this
Bless your heart
And also thank you😊 I’m just a jojo fan
I've watched this a thousand times'''''''''''''
Almost 62 years old and still listening The Cars
I'm almost.. cough cough 63, and I still am. I was 17, and a trainee pork butcher when this hit the UK charts.... I wish my body was 17 again🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I blasted this once while driving and a car pulls with young females in their 20's. They were rockin and screamin turn it up!!
That guitar solo is just.....sublime.
Do you hear the bfdi in it?
Agree
I agree, the solo is great. The funny thing is that I first interpreted sublime as subpar and was ready to write a very argumentative response, lol.
The Cars 1st album may be the greatest debut album of all time!
With appetite for destruction, van halen and else
Sure was!! Every song was a banger🎉
@@batmaneatspizza True, I saw Van Halen on their first American tour opened for Ozzie~Black Sabbath,,,fabulous band(s)😅
Ric Ocasek & Benjamin Orr will always be just what we needed. Rock in peace
My favorite cars song of all time
mine too....amazing song
Ben Orr Orzechowski rocks in this song! I loved this song in the 80's and I still do.
What was cool about The Cars was that there's never been another band before or since that sounds anything like them. They were truly unique. That's _very_ rare in the music industry, where most ever band/singer sounds like everybody else around them, with the same "sound of the moment." And their music was incredible. Can't even believe this album is now going on 42 years old. The other day on my lunch break I was sitting in my car eating and listening to this very album, marveling at how kick ass it still is, and how much it eclipses present day music. Proud to say this was the music I was raised on. :)
Very true :) I agree, warm regards from Tasmania
I guess they're just what we needed.🎹🥁🎸🎤🎶📻😎
His voice wasn’t like that he could hit high notes and everything, but his sound is just amazing. The way he sings “as long as it was deep, yeah” and “you always knew to wear it well and you look so fancy i can tell”. Seriously, am i the only one who just can’t get over the way he says “and” and “yeah” ??
@@phebedezwart5870 Subtle and very effective.
listening to this very album, marveling at how kick ass it still is, and how much it eclipses present day music. Right on !...I cannot listen to the present computer generated synthesized garbage of today that is called music. Yikes !
Ben Orr, such a rare talent and voice. RIP
Beautiful voice.
Yes, Ben was beautiful and fabulously talented, and I cannot understand how anybody could confuse the melodic warmth and range of Benjamin's voice with Ric's - light years difference. From Patricia H. not William H.'
@Mr Blobby He died of a rare cancer, he may have been suffering from that.
@@vermontbred Pancreatic cancer ! My mom passes of that in 1986 so i can understand ! I Loved the guy and the whole band
@@vermontbred Pancreatic cancer isn't that rare, but it's almost always a death sentence. So sad.
ahead of their time! Elliot Easton, an underrated guitarist! 🎸👍
RIP Ben Orr... 😞
The entire band was Underrated..... Easton and his riffs were great but so was the band as an entire collective...... Hawkes on Keys was another unheard of but very talented and skilled as a musician.... again Great band and finally getting inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...... RIP Ben.....
+Dave Peilt Correct. Each one of them are/were insanely talented. They were the perfect blend. SIP Benjamin
Show Ric all of the rock joints in heaven, will you, Ben?
Elliot better lefty than Hendrix in my book!
@@teddedolph6081 100% AGREE
The song that said goodbye to the 70's and welcome to the 80's.
No, the sound of the 70s Going into the 80s. You can look at it both ways
Nah, the Stranglers did it before
The Cars had a unique sound that kinda blew away DISCO which was prominent in the 70s. They ushered in the 80s with that and unlike other bands doing synth at that time The Cars were more popular and radio friendly. Plus it didn’t hurt that Benjamin was a part of that band ❤️❤️
I think I just found my mother in the audience. The dark haired lady in front center at the beginning with the Dorothy Hamill Haircut. 70% to the left side. 0:21
Definitely the Cars signature song, so young at the time
I had such a crush on Benjamin Orr back in the day. May he RIP.
I have a crush on him RIGHT NOW!!!
Same! I have been crushing on Benjamin since I was a 14-year-old in ‘78. What a stunningly gorgeous human being and what a star. 🌟
Yeah I still have a crush on him. He’s scrumptious❤❤️
The perfect blend and balance. Solid band.
I'm not gay. But if I had to kiss a guy, it would be Ben
These guys were ahead of their time.
They kind of still are. Nothing good out there anymore...
Congratulations to The Cars 2018 Rock and Roll hall of fame inductees !!
damn right, about time! Wayy ahead of their time! Seminal, ground breaking band...tight, clean arrangements, steller musicianship all around! 🎼🎤🎸🎹👍
who cares
Sad Ben wasn't there😢

I had older sisters.They were into The Cars before anyone. I remember in 5th grade our teacher told us we could bring in music from home. I told everyone in class I brought The Cars. They said I was lying. That there was no band called The Cars. Well we sure showed them....for the next 20 years.
Great band. Debut album was epic. RIP Ben and Ric
The past 48 hours have been a real blow to the late 70's early 80's sound
First Eddie, now Ric. Sad past few days indeed.
No shit, huh....
@@crazyone67501 and sadly this trend is only going to accelerate as they age.
@@crazyone67501 Yep! 😭
A very tough one for me when I think of my childhood. Ric Ocasek was a genius.
that "yeah" 1:16 😻
Saw them at the Worcester Centrum....came out and said "hi we're the Cars" and didn't stop rockin the house for 3 hours....
What a beautiful voice! What a great song! What a great band! Among my best memories. RIP Ben and Ric.
If anyone ever asks you what was New Wave music, just play them this song. To me it defines the sound of the late 70s, a great track.
Rest in peace Ric Ocasek!! May the good times roll forever!! 🤘
Which one is he?? I know Benjamin Orr, he's the frontman!
@@angelamings3031 Ric Ocasek is the other lead vocalist and guitar player, just not the one for this song. He sings Let The Good Times Roll, You Might Think, Shake It Up, Magic, etc.. He produced a bunch of legendary albums from other bands throughout the past few decades. Shocked you know Benjamin but not Ric. Sadly they are both passed away now and are hopefully still rocking in the hereafter!!
@@angelamings3031 0:49
Ditto . Forever !
@@thedude8747 Let’s not forget that he also produced Weezer’s music
Can’t.
Stop. Watching
Hope those people appreciated what world class company they were in. So wish I was there. What a voice Benji.
Absolute legends.
RIP Benjamin Orr and Ric... Your music has stood the test of time!
The first rock thrown at disco!
I could spend at least a day telling you that your wrong, the mid to late 70s where waaaaay more than disco and i do LIKE A LOT OF DISCO as well.
Those Cars were so awesome and cute
I wore this ablumn out!!!
One of the coolest songs ever, and possibly the best drum fill.
Drumming is letter perfect.
In my opinion, probably the best song of the 80's
Could be !
It was from 1978
well, then you're wrong... 1978
@@robertorubio everyone knows the best 80s songs are from the late 70s.
Seriously, think about it for a moment.
It. Came out In "78/79..
This has to be one of the greatest rock love songs ever recorded, whatever category they want to put it in. There’s nothing like it anywhere.
Benjamin Orr, you are truly missed.
Seeing Benjamin young and happy brings me a few emotions the biggest one is how grateful we are for The Cars all of 4 decades!! Woo!!
Ben crushes it on this song. The solo rips too!
One of America's Greatest Rock Bands!
First Eddie Money and now Ric Ocasek. What a terrible week, all my 80's music heroes are departing this earth. Rest in Peace rock gods.
I am with you! So many great memories to go with those great tunes.
Sadly stars die in three why this happens i do not know but its a sad realty.I pray it does not come true this time and we lose another great.
We are getting old
I was born in '77 and remember the 80s fondly. I feel stuck between the 80s generation and 90s generation.
This year it was Eddie Van Halen. So very sad.
I loved this song in the late 70's.
RIP Benjamin Orr. Wish you were still here entertaining us.
These guys were a true gift to my life growing up!
Shame all the greats are passing away. Loved Ric and Ben😭 80s music was the best era
Being young in the 80's was a great time.....
Love this song, always give me chills when I hear it, one of the 80's best songs. So many good memories.
It’s from 78 but I agree that it sounds more like a 81-82 summer hit rather than late 70s.
It gives me chills too x
Todays snowflakes listening to fake gay music, nursery rhymes, no talent "artists"
I dont know hold you are but this is a 70s song
This song is Just What I Needed
1978 GREAT WAY TO END THE 70'S MUSIC WITH THE INCOMING 80'S MUSIC.
To hear them on the radio, you kind of just passively listen because they are always on, but when you intently pay attention, you realize just how good these guys were. Ben's voice and how he pronounced his words gave the songs a grunge type of style, yet they sounded very rock and roll as well. Incredibly unique sound that will live on. What a band!
I am a guitarist of 40 years of playing, and I will tell you that these songs by the Cars are NOT easy to cover. They are tough to get down.
@@gib59er56wow, that says a lot too!! Thanks for the cool comment, it just confirms how good they really were.
@@jeffwade9052 Great band Jeff! They were kind of "new wave" on a couple songs and looks before new wave hit the mainstream. But they were really just a damn fine R&R band.
Just love this band. Saw them back in the day and just fell in love with their songs and Benjamin wow ❤
Elliot Easton is one of the most underrated guitarists ever and Ben Orr is just...man...cool.
Stellar voice and performance. This and Drive are my 2 favs. Your voice lives forever Ben! RIP
Hit Play was Becoming Very Popular, Even Better Than Then❤
So glad I got to see them live: Live Aid, 1985, Philadelphia, at the now demolished JFK stadium. Memories.....
Amazing how the live version sounds exactly like the record pretty much. RIP dudes
Don’t think this was really live.
The sound in this video is the studio recording pitch shifted up a half step. Not live. Kind of stupid that the uploader is calling this a "live" performance.
This is a song that could be put on repeat and never tire of it. ❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹

And that is how it is done, kids. True Talent there, along with blood, sweat and tears.
The opening is what always caught me.
they made the world a better place
That's called "that cool rock n roll style" that you either got, or you don't. It can't be taught, but it can be learned, maybe - Been Orr had more than most, and didn't even have to try.
I do not mind wasting my time listening to The Cars. Let the good times roll!
This song was part of the soundtrack of my life back when I was 15.
I had the exact thought
This is my favourite The Cars song
That guitar lefty is a badass
One of my favorite bands
Rest in peace Okasic..and thank you for the music...it was just what i needed in my youth!
Rest peacefully. You're just what I needed. Won't ever forget your music with the cars. Fly high and rock on
the 70's was one heck of an era for rock. The Cars set the precedent for 80's rock! they are the original 80's band!
My favorite Elliot Easton solo.
Best of Best ❤
