My favorite song from them is Drive even though Rick isn’t singing.
how may people associate this song with Phoebe Cates more than they do the Cars?
Funny, I remember the scene vividly -- I completely forgot that was the music underneath it. (I think I was hypnotized by Phoebe…)
Heartbeat City was quite a change in the Car's sound, as they replaced Roy Thomas Baker with Mutt Lange, and Lange went with loads of Fairlight and other then-trendy digital synths instead of the massed guitars he was associated with thanks to his AC/DC and Def Leppard productions. “Drive” and the title song were great songs, and Andy Warhol even appeared in the video for “Hello Again,” three years before he passed away.
