Week Fifty-Nine: iPod Picks - Part Deux - The Cars - "My Best Friend's Girl" - Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology

For Week Fifty-Nine, I'm lacking a bit of inspiration for a theme, so I'm turning my iPod loose again (in the form of putting it on shuffle) and letting it do the picking, just like I did in Week Thirty... Fortunately for me, it still hasn't died yet... It will be a sad, sad day when it eventually happens...

This song reminds me of the day I went to Six Flags with my other band member. The place where he worked had their company picnic at Six Flags every year. He had just broken up with his girlfriend, and my boyfriend at that time had to work that day; so he recruited me to go with him.

Everyone kept asking, “Is this your new girlfriend?” He kept replying, “No, it's my best friend's girlfriend.” After about the tenth time, he looked at me and stated, “Man, I feel like a scratched Cars album.” After being questioned for about the twentieth time, I granted him permission to just say, “Yep!”

I will also include YouTube videos for three of my other favorites by them --- "You are the Girl" & "Just What I Needed" & "Magic"...

you're always dancing down the street

with your suede blue eyes

and every new boy that you meet

he doesn't know the real surprise

here she comes again

when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

she'll make you flip

here she comes again

when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

you kinda like the way she dips

she's my best friend's girl

she's my best friend's girl

and she used to be mine

you've got your nuclear boots

and your drip dry glove

and when you bite your lip

it's some reaction to love
