Backwards Influence


Rock Band has a crazy hold on me. I just downloaded The Cars’ debut album (the music album, not the RB album), which was recently made available as a DLC purchase for the game. I actually plan on listening to the album today and seeing how much I like it and if it will warrant a purchase. I know The Cars very casually, and their biggest hit, “Just What I Needed”, I first heard from a Ghoti Hook cover about 10(!) years ago:

It’s really strange that I, a very choosy listener, am actually going to listen to an album because of a video game. What a tangled web we weave.

    I always through “My Best Friends Girl” was their most popular. That’s probably because it was the only one I knew because the first band I was ever in (Bad Judgement) covered it.

    I don’t want to pay money to play the Circuit City song over and over.

    Just looked it up and “Drive” is their biggest single (”Who’s gonna drive you home, tonight?” song), then “Just What I Needed”, then “My Best Friend’s Girl”.
