The Cars have a bunch of top hits that everyone knows and loves, but two tracks that often get forgotten are "Heartbeat City" and "Drive." Both songs are similar in their beat heavy composition, but are clearly different in their direction. "Drive" is a slow- moving ballad about various driving metaphors and an ' I'll always be there to drive a babe home" attitude. "Heartbeat city" is more upbeat and dance inducing with it's bouncy synths, electronic drums, and random guitar picking. The videos are pretty funny, and I highly recommend picking up The Cars Greatest Hits. It really covers The Car's best work as well as hidden treasures like these two songs.
