1) The Cars is a popular American new wave/power pop band that formed in 1976, after going through several different incarnations. The band was founded in Boston, Massachusetts and were signed to Elektra Records in 1977. The band originally consisted of David Robinson (drummer), Benjamin Orr (singer/bassist), Ric Ocasek (singer/rhythm guitarist), Elliot Easton (lead guitarist), Greg Hawkes (keyboardist).
During their career, they have released seven albums: The Cars (1978), Candy-O (1979), Panorama (1980), Shake It Up (1981), Heartbeat City (1984), Door to Door (1987) and Move Like This (2011). The first five of these albums all were certified platinum by the RIAA, and their self-titled debut was one of the best-selling albums of the 1970s, remaining on the Billboard album charts for over a year. They experienced a second wave of popularity in 1984 with the album Heartbeat City and the popular MTV staples"You Might Think," "Magic," and "Drive," the last of which was their highest-charting single, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1985, the group released a greatest hits album, which contained "Tonight She Comes", a mega-hit that reached #1 on the Billboard 'Top Rock Tracks'. However, after that peak, they vanished from the public eye and worked on solo projects, and released one final album, Door to Door, before breaking up in early 1988.
Benjamin Orr died of pancreatic cancer in October 2000. Guitarist Elliot Easton played in a surf music group and joined a touring act called Creedence Clearwater Revisted with ex-members of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Lead vocalist Ric Ocasek married supermodel Paulina Porizkova not long after The Cars' breakup and has since become a prolific producer, working on albums by such diverse artists as Bad Brains,Weezer, Guided by Voices and No Doubt. He has also released a number of solo albums, including 2005's Nexterday. Greg Hawkes and Elliot Easton have recently teamed up with Todd Rundgren and his rhythm section as The New Cars; they have released a live album and are currently touring. Ocasek gave the band his support but otherwise is not involved.
The remaining members reunited in 2010 to record a new album, titled Move Like This, which was released on May 10, 2011. The first single from the album was Sad Song. It was released to radio on March 1, 2011. (Source Songfacts)

Right here your kiss is totally new
Right here your hands are soft and creamy

And you know it's just what I like
So dim down the light

Your rhapsody is blowing my cool-ool
Your fantasies there written for the fools
Your long black hair it tickles my skin skin
It feels so luscious come on do it again, oh yeah
And you know it's just what I like
Dim down the light

The song "Don't Cha Stop" by The Cars is a passionate love song focusing on the physical and emotional connection between two people. The lyrics describe how the singer wants to be completely absorbed by his lover and how he enjoys being touched and kissed by her. He wants her to keep going and hints that the dimming of the light will only enhance the atmosphere. The chorus repeats the phrase "Don't cha stop" as encouragement for her to keep going and experiment to make them feel good. The lyrics use sensual, descriptive language to create an intoxicating atmosphere of desire and pleasure.
On a deeper level, the song also hints at the idea of surrender in love. The singer is willing to let go of control and let his partner take the lead, trusting that she knows what he likes and wants. The line "Your fantasies there written for the fools" suggests that he is willing to be a fool for her if it means experiencing this kind of intense love.

The Cars were unique. They came in during the New Wave sound and defined it with this song as real rock.
wiibaron
+rvhawkeye Their line up was unique too. Only the drummer didn't have two jobs. And he probably did backup a couple times too. A lot of sound out of 5 guys.
wiibaron
+marci mars It's one of the most fun songs to play on Rockband.

Unique is a great way to describe them . I came across some cruddy article that called The Cars a 80's Sugar Pop Band and I am guessing the writer has never really listened to The Cars ,know their history and was certainly not born until the late 80's or the 90's . I remember my aunt always playing Candy O ( with the Shoo Be Do into) in the late 70's and thinking it was the most unique sounding thing I had ever heard . It was like Science Fiction married rock and while they released more Pop sounding music later they were never a Pop group . I love all their music .
I hate that just because they survived well into the 80's they got that Pop Stamp just like The Clash , Ramones , Queen and a rare group of other bands that were able to jump from one decade to the next and still remain unique and relevant .
John Mcfayden
This album is a masterpiece!!

dude. all of them. several of their songs have been used in commercials. "moving in stereo." the Cars are a nice blend of classic rock and early punk. great mixed with Blondie.
