The entire album Move Like This was a true gift for Cars fans. It almost didn’t happen. A major feud between Ric and Ben was the catalyst that caused the band to break up in 1987. For years afterward, bitterness between them followed. But finally, they did mend their fences. It was during this time that Ben was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer then passed away in 2000. Ric had absolutely no interest in reuniting the band without Ben, and stubbornly said never again. But then something happened….it may have had something to do with the fans’ frustration….but suddenly Ric warmed up to the idea and began writing new material and jamming with Elliot, Greg and David. The result was this album, followed by a short tour. Thanks, guys!!! ♥️♥️♥️

People don't realize that members of The Cars, The Police and Blondie were just about the same age as Paul McCartney and Mic Jagger. They're not going to be around much longer. The innovating bands like The Ramones and Devo were actually younger than The Cars, Blondie or The Police.

Ric Ocasek said back in 2011 this was for the fans and they had no expectations. It did take a long time for him to write this song as he wanted it to be the classic sound and he did not have Ben Orr, his close friend in real life, to help. He did a great job with his band mates collaborating as well as Jacknife Lee who helped out producing this song which was a single along with Sad Song which he also produced for them (and played bass on both). With the state of the record industry, they did not plan to release an album just a few songs online but in the end, a record company signed them and they did a full album and moderate promotion with a limited tour (11 stops). This was a one time thing for Ric Ocasek and the band as Ric is a highly successful songwriter and producer for other bands.

Note, fun little Cars fact: Ocasek decided to title the album Move Like This as a reference to the band's reputation for not moving around very much onstage. It came from one line in the song, "Too Late." RIP Ric Ocasek and Ben Orr, at least they left us with one more album just 8 years ago and a Hall Of Fame performance in 2018.

I didn't even know this video existed a week ago, and never seemed to have caught this tune on the radio. Who would have thought that by 2011 that these men could come back as if they had never parted, but that is how guitar legend Elliot Easton described it, being as if no time had passed & they went right back into their groove that is almost beyond description, they simply were what they were & that was truly & creatively unique. This video is right at the top of the list on production values with INXS' 'What You Need' and Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer', another case of an outstanding song with an outstanding video. What a genius Ric was and is bandmates were all so spot-on and so utterly seamless, making the the sim greater than any single part, even Ric's, seem so effortlessly clean and tight across the board. Like the Violent Femme's first album, Ric & the Cars had a sound and techniques that seems like it shouldn't work, but boy - did it ever.

@Vincent H. Really? Please explain why Ric, who produced the other half of the album, had zero top 40 hits? Only two of the five Jacknife Lee did made the top 40. I don't disagree he was an excellent song writer, but as a producer for his own music, he was not so great. On the other hand, when he was not the songwriter and produced (for example, a couple of Weezer albums) he had huge success. It is very difficult to write and produce your own music as getting a second opinion is important so when he did both for the Cars, he rarely ever had a hit (he produced the last album for The Cars in the 1980s and only had one hit at the bottom of the top 40 after their mega successful Hearbeat City album where they worked with famed producer John "mutt" Lange.

They hide their age as did Cyrano, with their usual brilliance at video aesthetics, substantive lyrical content (if you think about it). Especially the "Sad Song". It is, after all, the abiding music of the world, as I'm afraid you and everyone who abides in the world will see. It turns out that this song, this video, "Sad Song", represents the Formulam Finalitatis, which I derived infallibly. Be sad. Be very sad.

There should be a radio format that exclusively plays new music by older artist. The classic rock stations aren't going play the new Madonna, prince, or Duran Duran song. They have Like a Virgin, Kiss, and Hungry Like a Wolf they can play. The pop stations would rather play new music by new artists like Adele, Sia, or Florence and the Machine. So more established artists are screwed.
