Rest In Peace Ric Ocasek. Thank you for the music and the magic. We've compiled our favorite Cars and Ric videos and tunes. Watch them all here bit.ly/2ke4XcC
@@oleysiaogren1192 The guy who uploaded this most likely isn't making a cent off it. Elektra records, who released the song as a single initially, probably monetized this video when it first came out. RIP Ric Ocasek, rock won't be the same without you
@@oleysiaogren1192 - Ric died on Sept. 15, 2019. This video was posted in January 2018. Do you really think RHINO knew then Ric would die almost two years later? Think before you speak.
I'm 58 ° the CARS appeared out of nowhere with 10 awesome songs and from there they just took off like a rocket into space ° we were blessed to be around when they took that awesome FLIGHT 🥰 I've been listening to them since 1978 ° a FOREVER CARS fan and Benjamin FAN 😘❤️
With all respect, what do You mean still Sir? Of course You need the Cars, we all do! I only wish my father loved the m, don't be ashamed, You simply have good taste, yeeesezaaaaaaaaaajhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Elliott Easton is still around, he's an extremely underrated guitarist. along with some other guys from the eighties. one of was the lead singer from the Romantics. have formed another group called the Empty Hearts. and they are pretty good, however I sure miss The Cars. but I still listen to their music often.
The Cars were one of a kind , their music still Rocks today 2024 even after all these years. Such a shame Benjamin and Ric are no longer here. Godspeed to Both of you 🙏🙏
Elliot Easton is easily one of the most underrated guitarists of the era. I just love his playing, just what's needed and nothing more. Always felt like, "I wish he would keep going!"
In 78 I started 7th grade and I never heard anything like the Cars ever. Their music was so different, part of the new wave movement I thought back them.
@@nancy.lauderdale I was born in 1978 and I remember hearing that song for the first time when a cheerleading squad was playing that song in the middle school that I attended. Middle school was the my worst experience going to school and a year of grEat music.
In the '80's Pres. Reagan was leading the country and America was on top of the game. When that kind of feeling prevails, it spins off great music, films, etc.
Dude that solo is absolutely perfect. It’s my favorite solo all time. There are longer, faster, more intricate solos of course. But this guitar solo is the most perfectly placed piece of music ever created in any song, ever. And it’s just amazing.

Ric Ocasek's vocal performance certainly hit home for listeners back in the 1980s. The sound of his voice was unique, and it added an original tone to the material that The Cars delivered. In the first half of the 1980s, people embraced individuality rather than discouraged it. That *really* worked in the band's favor, because it helped The Cars go from seeming out-of-touch in the 1970s to hip in the 1980s. My favorite song from them used to be "You Might Think". Now I think it's this one.
Grew up grunge, rap metal, classic rock and recently everything 80s. 80s music is full of energy, happy riffs and great talent. It’s like the whole decade was lit up and lovin life. I want a bite of that!
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you how much you are understating how great that decade was. I feel blessed to have lived my wildest dreams in reality. I almost feel sorry for the youth today until I remember how we actually earned and created it. It all went on my permanent , felony record. Lol
@@notsure9079 Wrong, they're chalk and cheese when it comes to a voice imo.. couldn't be any different. Ben was much richer with a better lower tone, ric was quite flat but effective.
2022 y Este tema me hace volver atrás... cuando lo escuché por primera vez, la sensación sigue siendo la misma... un eterno WOW..... Saludos desde Chile

My entire 20 hour drive to Florida was this "cassette". Couldn't get enough!! ROP Ric 😔 Rest in Piece, Ric. Your distinctive voice reached billions. Your passing certainly has shaken me up, Ric. I will always love The Cars.
RIP Benjamin Orr & Rik Ocasek what a great band CARS where great songs great singles great albums ..... "Shake it up" one of there many classics sadly missed by all who loved them ..... Ben & Rik gone but not forgotten RIP 😒👃➕.
Esta rola me acuerdo de una chica que me enamore de ella allá por los 80s en un patinadero que estaba en la avenida gonzalitos acá en Monterrey NL que recuerdos ojalá algún día la vuelva a ver, ella vivía e la col.moderna
😂I'm 72, full time drummer for over thirty yrs. We covered a bunch of Cars stuff. Knew a young lady who went on two of their tours (she managed merch.), she dated Ben, and said Ric was the most interesting person she'd met. Said he was always reading Dylan Thomas' works. The Cars always pick me up, and if you want to improve your guitar skills then try out some of Elliot Easton's phrases. Will always love their music.
I feel like if Summer in the 80s could be put to music, it would be The Cars! I only remember 1988 and 89 but this was one of my favorites, it's so underrated today.

remembering here the good times going to university and listening to really cool music...if there was a time machine, it would be one of the times I would visit
My favorite band in HS!!!! I couldn't get enough of their music! I still get all "wound up" when I hear their music...especially this song! SHAKE IT UP!!!!
The Cars and the voice of Rick Ocasek were a huge part of my young adult life. It was a time we let “The Good Times Roll”. That was exactly “Just What I Needed” to cope with peer pressure. On tough days I would say to myself “Let’s Go” because “ It’s All I Can Do”. My love life was always “Touch and Go”. I always felt “I’m Not The One”. Ric, “Since You’re Gone” there’s less “Magic” in the music world. Well, maybe someday, somewhere, we may be able to say “Hello Again”.
Robert, I agree with you. When someone like Ric passes away, you feel like they take a part of your younger days with them. He was a Great Music Artist. So many memories of my youth tied to him.
We are sad Ric Ocasek is now gone from us but also grateful of all the pleasant music memories and legacy he had left . he is now with bandmate Ben Orr.
I love the Cars my favorite band , Rest in Peace Ben And Ric two old best friends reunited in the afterlife where it matters I pray they both made it in heaven this music industry can be quite evil .
They may be gone but we still are here to cherish all those amassing frozen moment of time. Every time i hear this music tears come to my eyes not of sadness but of such great fun i had with family and friends. The best time of my live.
