Their first album was flawless.

I always think of how messed up Guam was by their radio station. I have never heard of before or after a radio station play “Shoo Be Doo” as a stand alone song without “Candy O” right after it. They did.

Agreed. I probably couldn't have made it through high school if not for The Cars.

Benjamin Orr was the hidden talent of The Cars. Most "kids" including myself thought Rick Ocasek sang all the songs, lol.

Anyway, The Cars were instrumental in the New Wave movement, along with Flock of Seagulls, New Order, Billy Idol, OMD, Devo, etc..! Sadly, Orr passed away from cancer back in 2014 or some such..

The title track was my favorite song but everything from the covert art to the music was nearly flawless

My favorite Cars album, only flawed by that "Shoo Be Doo" track preceding the title track. Fortunately it's only 96 seconds long.

"It's All I Can Do" is my favorite Cars track of all time. Reminds me of the smell of fried clams and driving along the beach with the windows open on a hot summer night.

Funny, I heard Candy-O on SiriusXM while I was out and about this afternoon. Almost forgot about that song. Very cool indeed.

A year after the Candy-O album I dated a young gal who was a spitting image of the album cover albeit a few inches shorter in height.
