The older I get, the more I appreciate the organic elements of good old rock and roll. The Cars were proponents of power pop and with their distinctive look and sound, they etched a place in pop history by their output for more than a decade from 1977 onwards. Reversing the order of hit singles that has been issued in America, Australia got 'My Best Friend's Girl' first, making it a minor hit in late 1978. In January of 1979, 'Just What I Needed' ascended our charts, but disappointingly spent just a week there, at #96. For shame, Australia, for shame! Thankfully the 1979 hit 'Let's Go' and the Candy 0 LP would rectify the situation and the band were on their way - worldwide! A #27 in America and #17 in England, 'Just what I needed' introduced the world to the excellent musicianship and clever writing and production that would typify the career of The Cars. I loved making this clip, i hope all who see it enjoy it too!
