Hand claps, instruments added one at a time, a mass of vocals coming in at the chorus -- "MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL" really is one of the best-arranged pop songs I have heard.I am listening to a GREATEST HITS compilation by THE CARS as I drive around today, a rare Saturday work day for me.
Many of the The Cars' songs were so well-arranged. That is one of my observations from close listening to Ric Ocasek and the band.
Another observation: So much current "alternative" rock music owes a vast debt to The Cars.
As I listen, I wonder if someone hearing these songs for the first time (unlikely, I know, because of their frequent appearances on classic rock radio) might mistake The Cars for The Killers with a substitute vocalist in place.
Working on a Saturday is never much fun, but at least I have the wonderful songs of The Cars to keep me company.
