Absolutely brilliant - Another song from one of my favorite albums brought to life. Ben Orr was so underrated standing under the Little Ricky Ocasek shadow (So he wrote all the songs, big deal  ). Bye Bye Love is one of my favorites as well.

Anyway, great job on this - Premium delivery!

great version sandy, thats one of those songs when there is beer and a guitar or two lying around always ends up getting sung and everybody joins in. or is that just in my house.

really individual interpretation love the spooky doubletracked vox. magic.

Oh does this bring back some memories...wow, great version dude!!  You got that haunting spooky voice on this one - fits great!  Great fun listening!

...doesn't matter where you've been, as long as it was deep...yeh!

Very nice take on this, I like the style of your vocal on this a lot. Being from Mass, I have a soft spot for the Cars.

Great cover, Sandy...you play one percussive guitar!

This one takes me back...I remember when I first heard it on the FM radio, at first I thought it was Be Bop Deluxe, and then was a little stunned to find it was a Boston area band (just two hours south of where we lived).

I still like the Cars very much (well, up to 'Candy-O', anyway). Their keyboard player Greg Hawkes teaches a ukulele class in Boston these days - one of my friends took it and said he's quite a player.

You have a unique style Sandy, no matter whether it be your own song or a cover.

Always liked this song and like your version just as much.

This has the Freaking Awesome" written all over it!


Awesome Style Gritts!!!

Sublime Performence!

Its like the sound in your head, just waking up with a song rattling around the brain, and it is kinda drifting in and out.  Great unplugged interpretation.
