Punch Brothers - Just What I Needed (The Car's Cover) 

That fiddle solo really matched Elliot Easton's killer solo from the original song. I love how Noam's banjo takes the place of Greg Hawkes' synth.

i always loved this!!! The underrated knowledge of this songs cover is a crime to humanity!

When the rhythm section changes to the 1s and 3s at 3:29 just like The Cars ("Time, Time!"); so perfect.

the violin solo kills it

Wow! The banjo taking the place of the synth is smart, and works very well

Esto no es un cover , esto es un verdadero tributo tremenda interpretación

I’ve never seen anything more ten years ago than this.

dude holy shit this absolutely rips, what a talented bunch.

Along with the incredible instrumentals of this group, I love the fact that Chris never seems to take himself too seriously. His sense of humor usually shines through.

I saw these guys in Boston in February and, along with Tool, they're the best band I've ever seen live. They're all masters of their instruments and it looks like they actually enjoy playing together. It's impossible not to dance and just feel happy while watching them. Chris and Noam are hysterical in person.

This is friggin awesome.

Great cover! Translated so damn well! Bravo

My favourite karaoke song

Fav song ever, and this is my fav cover of it! Gotta look you fellas up and come and see a show of yours!

Thanks for uploading this, dunno why AV Club took it down. Maybe copyright. GREAT cover. Punch Brothers kill it!

Excellent!

First video I saw after searching "The Cars cover." Very pleased!

This. is. AWESOME. Punch Brother's are totally fantastic.

Noam Pikelny is a friggin' champ.

A great song can transcend to various instruments and still be a great song. Thank you Ric, Ben and the rest of The Cars.

Freakin fabulous. RIP Ric and Benjamin.

That’s a home run of a cover. Love that they kept the timing especially.

Violin solo...first class!!

Amazing ending!!!

RIP, Ric. I love this cover, but the original sometimes ends up being just what I needed.

Rest in Peace Brother Rick. This was a great respectful and skillful cover. Very sunset worthy. Love!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

LOVE the banjo Noam!

Now that's what I call cover ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

NICE reinterpretation ! Like the violin and banjo.

...dat banjo roll...

They're like bluegrass musical geniuses, wait, they are bluegrass musical geniuses.

Awesome cover! RIP R.O.

Awesome. The Cars' cover works with this band.

Surprisingly good!

Very well done lads! I'm a big Cars fan and I'm sure the guys in the band approve of your rendition of one of their most iconic songs.

good foreign cover .. love this song. Great you had fun with it and it shows.

This is incredible.

This has a lot more punch (no pun intended) and life when played live with a good audience. They rocked it in Asheville.

Awesome

The Cars were an incredibly original group. Benjamin Orr and Ric Ocasek would have enjoyed this performance immensely.

These guys clearly love the song, and - wow, they make it work. Bowing to you guys - this is SO unlikely and yet SO - yeah. Just what I needed - 'spect.
