The whole album is incredible and one of my faves. Cars is actually one of my least liked songs on there. Gary went from hero to zero and is back to hero. He is popular with the young people thanks to Trent Reznor aka Nine Inch Nails. he aruably created the goth music thing.
Almost 1980 - 1979 and The Damned doing Love Song.
The presenters speak English but it is a German TV show and audience. The kids must have been baffled. Bass Player Algy Ward gives his name as Idiot Arsehole and has the whole hipster trucker outfit down before hipsters existed.
The guys who the Duran's supposedly stole their look from - Japan. The Duran boys epecially john taylor was a huge Roxy Music fan.
Japan earlier on was trying to looks like those semi-losers the NY Dolls. Japan were kind of a joke until this song produced by Giorgio Moroder. They then did 2 or 3 incredible albums then broke up. Mick Karn one of the best rock bass players ever. Also plays sax on thre great break on the song. Steven Jansen great drummer too but on this song just playing straight dance beat.
