The skinny black tie and the white shirt is a cool nod to the 80's Exceptional as usual!

[@effychase62]

As a Boomer, now 60, I easily remember this song's release from The Cars, 1978. I was just 16 back then an enamored by the sounds of Boston, Rush, BOC, Styx and others..... then, The Cars broke through with their unique sound. Damn, that was 44 years ago. Where'd all the time go?

[@josephwirtz8352]

You’ve been Chasing it all along…

[@effychase62]

@@josephwirtz8352 You're correct sir - Excellent Pun too, good one. Btw, although I never saw The Cars in concert, I've attended 95 other ones with the triple combo of the Styx, REO, Loverboy show on August 6th, 2022 in Charlotte, NC being the latest. Hopefully, I'll get to and even break the 100th concert mark within a year or two.

You folks have turned playing covers into an art form. Just superb in every way!

You can bet Benjy Orr is smiling down on this rendition, great job LLB! 👏 👏👏👏

@@Cocolocas Thank you!!!

[@petertrast]

Your drummer is locked and nailing those reverse bars!! That lead guitarist is ALWAYS killing those leads, perfection! And those synth keys took me back to high school!!! Bravo!!!!!!!

[@cactuscanuck6802]

Great job guys. Love that 80s bright white shirt with skinny tie on Ryan! 😄

[@istemihanvarisli]

This is so beautiful :) Ric and Benjamin are now indeed proud of you people. Thanks and God bless you all.

[@MelodyMaker]

That lab work gets you phenomenally close to the exact original recording. So impressed.

[@GoBart454]

I truly believe that LLB versions are better than the drug fueled originals.

[@ScubaOz]

AWESOME, that PRS with the P90's really crunches this song, Y'All did a great job on this one for sure, tone was perfect, vocals were really spot on, I really like you guys, you bring the joy back into the music I love, Thank You!

[@golfcobra]

Thanks for staying true to the Cars spirit...as a lifelong fan and New Englander it means a lot. LLB!

[@donsmith6045]

Man. You guys transported me back to 1980 when I was a younger man. I closed my eyes and the time machine took me back! You guys rock!

[@ReplayFanatic]

Another amazing performance!!

[@louwilson1241]

Another stellar performance from the Lexington lab band. Great hand picked players as usual for this great song.

[@rwsmith7]

Everything, EVERYTHING is spot on 💯. Harmonies were perfect and powerful! Nice work, gents! 👏 👍 Y'all never cease to amaze and entertain.

[@danshultz2235]

A great remaster! Sounds fresh and improved, which is not always easy!

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

What a nice tribute to an awesome band! Benjamin Orr's voice, and Elliot Easton's tasty lead guitar with those keyboards by Greg Hawkes made this a lifetime favorite Cars song for me.

[@bradleyburns1959]

Breaking out my skinny, flat bottom, knit tie. Ric and Benjy were geniuses and LLB nails it yet again. Damn, I'm getting old....

[@iamrichrocker]

spot on Mates..one of my favorite bands..and their sound was eclectic and so infectious...RIP to Ben and Ric...genius both..

[@bryonfaust5243]

Nailed it

[@josephwirtz8352]

I wore this album out when it was released, and I believe this is for certain one of your top covers! Well done all! Bonus points for the drummer wearing the punk looking shirt and tie!

[@johnpepe180]

Great job keeping the CARS classic alive......

[@joelfunk9419]

Another slam dunk , home run, touchdown. LLB great job.

[@esquire1229]

Another well done song. I have all of The Cars music and seeing it done live was just another jewel in LLB's crown of music! Keep those 70s and 80s hits coming! Love me some LLB!

[@dannyholder9452]

BEST DAMN COVER BAND ON KZbin!!! PEACE FROM SHELBYVILLE TENNESSEE!!!

[@paulwagner6439]

Wow, Amazing 🤩 Cover…Everything was so well put together and great musicians, One an All..

[@rblauson]

The guitarist has Easton licks nailed down ! Superb job all around.

[@thebarbecutioner6977]

Another quality track from America's best cover band. Ric O would be pleased, rest his soul.

[@ellenhayes7597]

Is there anything y’all can’t do? Fantastic performance! Thank you!

[@renojmc1]

Awesome job! I had the pleasure of seeing The Cars in 1982. A truly unforgettable show!

[@TheBent139]

That keyboard sound at the end was stuck in my head for about ten years, from the 70's to the 80's. Always loved The Cars.

[@stevefranklin5714]

I love when you guys play Cars songs Heartbeat city would be great to hear... Love Robs keys You guys have wonderful keyboard players They certainly know how to color a song in...

[@dellcrill6733]

Absolutely amazing, Yet another classic song done to perfection! LLB is the best of the best!

[@oneperson7013]

As a Canadian who is very protective of our music culture, I'm feeling a little threatened, guys. Pure mastery.

[@davidlouiso9650]

Yet another tight remix! Y’all are amazing. Thanks for doing what you do!!!

[@josephfetterolf6125]

Just found you through Red Eye radio...love it!

[@t_craig_rogers]

Awesome rendition! You guys are fantastic! Bye Bye Love next please! LOL 😁😁

[@dave1135]

This is my favorite song by the cars, this was always ben Orr's song, but you guys did it justice!

[@roadlizardcu8664]

Most Excellent

[@Guitarlo-Colorado]

Just what I needed to start this week !

[@MrRocking4ever]

Perfect cover - great musicians who are also great backing vocals

[@rodkobzey6520]

Wow, one of your comments said it was recorded 10 years ago even though it was just posted on you tube. If true, it tells me that LLB has done a ton of recording over the years if it takes that long for our eyes & ears to witness these. Cannot give you guys & girls enough praise for the way you continue provide us with Tremendous content to enjoy. YOU are a BLESSING to all who listen to your music!!!!!

[@LexingtonLabBand]

This was originally released in 2013 on other channels. I have remastered it for release in honor of our upcoming 10 year anniversary. Thanks for the listen!

[@Peter-zr8kq]

Excellent rendition! Thank you for the memories.

[@bjornalm9950]

This 1978 song is the best pop song of the eighties❤

[@lindamarsh6711]

That was a big wow! Thanks guys, that was just what I needed, really, it was! ❤

[@danielwilson1468]

I'm amazed by the perfection of The Lexington Lab Band. Just another outstanding performance!

멋진 연주 잘들었습니다. 나도 왼손잡이라서 더욱좋아했던 eliot easton 의 기타솔로를 완벽하게 느낄수있었습니다. Touch & go 도 조심스럽게 부탁드립니다. from Seoul/Korea.

[@oldprankster7606]

Since when did a lab have that much musical talent? Is there a secret formula? Great cover, lab guys!

[@BIGROCKER620]

As a big fan of The Cars, a favorite song, another awesome version and tribute. Great collection of musicians as always.

[@soulfull53]

In the infamous words of Gomer Pyle, gaaaawly!!! Super job!!!

Good to see Rob on keyboards.

[@sergeantfury785]

Bold move to take on a Cars song! Almost no one knows how complex this song REALLY is!

LLB rockin' The Cars! That is Just What I Needed!

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Dam you guys bring back memories for me.. Every time i click on LLB it's a step back down memory lane and i really appreciate getting to relive those days.

[@andrewtrotter9023]

Those killer guitar chords in the chorus. Elliott Easton was underrated.

[@MegaShadow1964]

Awesome version, one of my favorite Cars tunes!

[@debbiewalker1086]

Utter utter perfection, You guys always blow my mind, and ears!

[@resipsaloquitur854]

Mike without a beard, and Dale playing a PRS instead of a LP? What madness is this? 🙃 It seems there's a cover act coming out of the woodwork just about every month these days, but no one is doing what LLB does, as well as they do. Another stellar performance!

[@davidmays5231]

Excellent!

[@tracyanderson3518]

That Sparkle Jet - Just What I Needed!

[@paulshanahan135]

Great to see one of the band’s early productions. Your excellent quality and effort were there from the start!

Every cover you guys do is great, but you’ve really outdone yourselves with this one, just awesome. Well done. 👍🤘

That keyboard sound is spot on. Love this cover!

[@jamesfriestad3164]

[@Cldfsn0200]

Eliot Easton the most under rated under appreciated guitarist in Rock history.

[@D.Lee.W]

Yes EE is excellent. Too bad the Cars never really let him stretch out on long solos.

[@plantfeeder6677]

Nice. A timeless rock song and my Car's favorite 😅

[@thabilldozer]

From 1982-1988 I worked at Synchro Sound Studio in Boston with Greg and Elliot from the Cars. I'm a huge fan of these guys, and I can honestly say that you guys knocked this cover out of the park

Woah! Thanks for the compliment! How cool that you have been able to collaborate with them!

Fantastic. I listened to that album nearly everyday in the late 70s and early 80s. I'd like to request all of the last 4 songs played together like it was done on the album.
