I love The Cars, and this is a fantastic cover of this song by our guy. I'd never heard it before - thank you for posting the video.

That is great!!!

I always knew Prince was a big The Cars fan. Supposedly he adored the song DRIVE and played

it alot in the mid-80s around the Revolution.

I think Prince was also a pretty big Talking Heads fan. Has anyone heard the 1999-era souncheck

where he launches into a version of their song Once In A Lifetime during DMSR?? Where can I find that again too???

TurnItUp

I loved it when Prince covered songs because he did it well and sometimes better than the original artist, but instead of covering this I wish he would've covered Aaliyah's songs. I was so happy that Mayte mentioned Aaliyah in her book after all she died the same day as Prince's dad and I was hoping P would've taken an interest in A's music because she had a mystique much like him. I wish Aaliyah would've lived longer because I think she would've been up on stage with Prince much like the many females he had singing with him.

I love stumbling across stuff like this. Like when he did an acoustic version of Train in Vain at Kings Place in London in 2014.

Everybody who grew up during the 80's or knows good music knows that the greatest Cars song is Just What I Needed and nothing else!

When I listen to "Velvet Kitty Cat" I could picture Ric singing the vocals. Sounds like something off the Cars Panorama album to me.

Then it's time to expand your musical horizons! Prince would not only approve, he'd encourage it! wink
