1980. Synthesizers, eyeliner and brooding. I used to think this song was put out by "The Cars" but no, It's one-hit wonder Gary Numan.
In this awesomely bad video, Gary appears in a pyramid, a tambourine, and a red plastic jumpsuit
but not in his CAR.
Go figure.

Hmm, the lack of cars is rather intriguing!

I remember the song. I always thought it was by the Cars too.
I remember this classic. Pure 1980's style existential dread. And the "car" isn't a car.
Isn't he the "short people" guy?
Wow! Anonymous, I had no idea. Is the "car" his own self-isolation or something?
Shawn, I believe the short people guy is Randy Newman-- not a one hit wonder at all :)
I loved this song and all it's creepiness.
he should feel safe in his pyramid!
