Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I’ve loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on YouTube, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I’ve evolved into doing other things on YouTube. For years now I’ve wanted to create a music channel on YouTube, and recently just figured “why not?”, so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.

This is a reaction video used to educate and give my feedback on the song and artists.

  1. My wife and I drove from Toronto to Philly in 85 for the Live Aid Concert. I loved Led Zeppelin and had seen them twice before and wanted to see them again, but they were disappointing. My wife loved the Cars, and had a not so subtle crush on Ben Orr the singer, and they put on a good show. They were a fun back then but both Ben & Rick have passed on.

  2. Great reaction, thanks Shawn!😊 Benjamin Orr was one of the coolest people who ever lived, IMO. Such an amazing voice, and he was (by all accounts that I’ve read) as beautiful on the inside as he was on the outside. We lost him much too early. And lost Ric too in 2019. Ric’s last name is pronounced “o-KASS-ik” (there’s a video called "Members of The Cars introduce themselves” in which he says his own name, and I've heard it that way other places too), although lots of people have pronounced it "o-KASE-ik" and maybe he didn't mind that.

  3. The tall guy was Ric Ocasek, pronounced O-Kay-sik, the second Guitarist and alternate Vocalist, he also wrote a lot of The CARS songs. And he, like all good Rock Stars, married a Superstar Model who was named Paulina Poritzakova. They even had a joint cameo appearance in the movie "Lipstick", directed by John Waters. RIP to Ric, and Bassist Benjamin Orr.

  4. So good to see you enjoy this great song! RIP the lead singer for this song is Benjamin Orr. He also sang the lead on the ethereal song “Drive”. He was super attractive and sang great🎶❤️

  5. The Cars are iconic. One of the greatest bands ever, they had at least two full albums where every single song was hit worthy. They pretty much ruled the late 70s into the mid 80s and rang in the new wave age.

  6. 👌 I think the California connection you're thinking of is that this song has hand-muted, percussive, chunky rhythm guitar strumming and so does a lot of surf rock. Even The Beach Boys.

  7. Love the Cars and this is my favorite song by them. I put them in the same category with Cheap Trick who you should check out as well, if you haven't yet! (I Want You To Want Me, Surrender, Dream Police, etc).

  8. Ric's last name is actually pronounced like O case ik. They were both very talented in their own right. The Cars were just amazing with both of them as lead vocals.

  10. MY BEST FRIENDS GIRL, GOOD TIMES ROLL, LET'S GO!, MAGIC, SHAKE IT UP, CANDY-O, IT'S ALL I CAN DO, MOVING IN STEREO, YOU MIGHT THINK and so many of their songs played in the soundtrack of my life (What's wrong with me?). Ric sang lead on most songs.

  11. Check out more Cars songs, Elliot Easton, their guitarist, is one of the best soloist of all time. His riffs and solos are ear candy to me, especially on the song Touch and Go.
