She never leaves on the light
And some things that I say to her
They just don't seem to bite
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
She tricks me into thinkin'
I can't believe my eyes
I wait for her forever
But she never does arrive
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
She says to leave it to me
(Leave it to me)
Everything'll be alright
(Be alright)
She says to leave it to me
(Leave it to me)
Everything'll be alright
She's always out makin' pictures
She's always out makin' scenes
She's always out the window
When it comes to makin' dreams
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up

-- And so again we see...MUSIC...causing BIG TROUBLE...
This band was an all time favorite. Some say their stage presence was stiff, but I didn't care. Great power pop.
Saw them play at the Music Hall , Boston, October 1979. Loved their music and still do. But boy , stiff stage presence was an understatement. Great Band
I was there too. The Cars were the best of that bunch.
Props to my hometown heros and fellow Berklee mate Elliot Easton.
Saw the Cars at the Spectrum in Philly, the summer of 1979, just after the release of Candy-O. They were probably at their peak. It was a fantastic show.
Hard to imagine something like the first Cars album today. It was one of the few albums I would play all the way through, every time, without interruption (once I taped it on cassette..). Aja was another album like that, along with the first Stranglers LP. But The Cars was just monster to my ears. Melodic and meaty, and just hitting everything just right. A rare thing that holds up all this time.

Dude, I was at that show. Whatta great band live!
many feel this is a twofer that must be played. Sorta like We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions from Queen
Rick Ocarsick. And I say that with the fondest regard. RIP.

The late Benjamin Orr, one of the most underrated vocalists ever.
Thank you Bill....
That's often been true, but this album was produced by Roy Thomas Baker, which may also explain why someone posted below how the vocals reminded them of Queen.
I bought this album the week it was released back in the day.

And that's a good thing
I was at one of their shows in St. Paul in '79, and the girls down front were really swooning for that guy.
Well, YEAH!!...
Totally noticed that!
According to Wiki, the sax solo was played by keyboardist Greg Hawkes. I think you owe him an apology.

From what I can remember, they didn't exactly go out on top in terms of popularity. People were tired of their sound which seemed stuck in the early 80s. I don't remember much nostalgia for them in the 90s.
The first two albums were brilliant. I never got into "Panorama" and "Heartbeat City" seemed a bit pandering...
Ouch!
Very nice ...
I have a bootleg somewhere of a demo tape with Rick singing both songs as one. Then another with Ben doing them
I was 20 when this came out. I was living in an unsanitary student house with a group of really good mates. I had a Yamaha RD250 I was going out with an amazing girl, my rugby team were winning and punk rock was energising music and the streets. It seems unwise to use the phrase “Best days of my life” until they are putting you into a pine box but this album was the soundtrack to some really good times. Thank for playing it Bill, that’s a visit to the “Support RP” I owe you!
As did I except mine was vinyl.
'64 Chevy short bed, 350 with glass packs, same Jensen 6x9's and Clarion tape deck. Hey, there is a Cars theme after all.

Something about Jensens speakers and the trunks on those Pony/Muscle cars.
Loved that sound.
Glad Bill played them both. Definitely the way it should be.
Agreed.

This was as good as it got for me from this band although I always appreciated their collective innovation.
I know what you mean. Beer, girls, rugby a new motorcycle and The Cars as a soundtrack. What a year.
Oh so good ! Yes, better than vinyl in any millennium if Bill has the source and usually he does !

AMEN!
Agreed... this disc was a soundtrack for me in the Summer of '78.
Candy-O was released in the Summer of '79 making it a 70's disc as well. The Cars were well on their way, perhaps having released their best material, when the 80's began. It is easy to see, however, how they are associated with the New Wave of the early '80's.
I was 18 when this came out and it was between my Freshman and Sophomore year in collage. Kind of a magical time when you had independence from the parents but not the responsibilities of classes. Consequently, I'd like to say I am was full of memories of that summer with this album, but more accurately it is full of obscure, foggy images, impromptu parties and people's crash pads with these songs in the background.
While technically a 70s album, it definitely was a break from the rock we were all listening to at the time. The disconnected, almost robotic vocals, electronic tonality, lack of extended instrument solos, it was clearly ushering in a new sound for the upcoming decade. I don't think the term "new wave" existed yet. If so, it hadn't reached us in Houston yet. So we didn't know what to call it. But we liked it.
Now that you mention it, yes!
But this is better.
Hunt around and you may find a few Demo versions put together from the forming days. They are these two tunes sort of done as one, and many times back in the day they were played as a set by stations, much like Queen's Rock You and Champions. I still have the one Ric sings, but he thought Ben was better and I seem to have lost the version with Ben singing these. Also, I think on the Vinyl they don't have any separation and run into each other.
oh, and P.S. we lost Ben and his great voice a while back. The new Cars is pretty good, but I miss hearing Ben's voice.
.............yup. we're gettin' old dude!!
True! A great album.

Early 80s/Late 70s, who cares?
Me. I guess.
I actually remember listening to this album a whole bunch in the summer of '78 (between my freshman & sophomore college years), which will always be the 70's for me...

This is why I listen to RadioParadise (and support them).
Thanks, Bill.
