Episode 18 - Song #369: "Just What I Needed" by The Cars

Season 1 Published 1 year, 6 months ago
Description

This week, we go under the hood of this debut from Ric Ocasek and his game-changing band, The Cars.


While the tempo and radical synthesizers suggest a series of light-hearted flirtations, we question the narrator's real feelings toward the person to whom these lyrics are directed.


Steve floats the idea that Fountains of Wayne may have borrowed the opening lick, and Rob describes this week's song's album cover in eerie, and somewhat uncomfortable, details.


We tease the legendary Axis of Awesome viral video from forever ago, but since Rob hasn't seen it, we say no more.


Like this.
