Song of the Day
"The cars that go boom" by L'Trimm.
Wikipedia informs me that I was about 11 years old when this song came out. One of the catchiest songs of all time, I can still recite every single word to it, and also to their totally dirty song "Grab It".
"The cars that go boom" isn't art, or anything, but I challenge you not to smile while watching this totally 80's video. And I actually always hated the cars that went boom.

I saw these guys in concert. They were an opening act for Kyper, who did "Tic-Tac-Toe" and "What Makes Your Body Hype (XTC)" ... about a decade before New Yorkers even knew what X was

Watching the video now, though? Make me think of "Let's Go To The Mall" by Robin Sparkles.

Posted by: Tanya at January 16, 2009 10:47 PMGary Numan wrote and sang "Cars". Randy Newman (no relation that I know of) wrote and sang "I Love LA", along with "Short People", "You've Got a Friend in Me" (from Toy Story) along with numerous others.
