Gary-Numan - The Pleasure Principle
"Cars" Is The Debut Solo Single By English Musician Gary Numan. It Was Released On 21 August 1979 And Is From His Debut Studio Album The Pleasure Principle. The Song Reached The Top Of The Charts In Several Countries And Was Considered One Of The First Big New Wave Hits. Today Numan Is Considered As An Early Pioneer Of The Genre. The Song Was The First Release Credited Solely To Gary Numan After He Dropped The Band Name Tubeway Army. Musically The New Song Was Somewhat Lighter And More Pop-Oriented Than Its Predecessors Numan Later Conceding That He Had Chart Success In Mind "This Was The First Time I Had Written A Song With The Intention Of 'maybe It Could Be A Hit Single' I Was Writing This Before 'Are "Friends" Electric?' Happened." He Has Since Described "Cars" As "a Pretty Average Song". According To Numan The Song's Lyrics Were Inspired By An Incident Of Road Rage "I Was In Traffic In London Once And Had A Problem With Some People In Front. They Tried To Beat Me Up And Get Me Out Of The Car. I Locked The Doors And Eventually Drove Up On The Pavement And Got Away From Them. It's Kind Of To Do With That. It Explains How You Can Feel Safe Inside A Car In The Modern World... When You're In It Your Whole Mentality Is Different... It's Like Your Own Little Personal Empire With Four Wheels On It." The Music Video Featured Numan's Then-Current Backing Band Including Billy Currie From The Band Ultravox Though He Had Not Actually Played On The Recording Of "Cars". It Is Perhaps Notable That The Video For "Cars" Depicts No Images Of Actual Cars. At 2 43 In The Video Five Gary Numans Appear To Be "driving" In A Standing Position Holding An Imaginary Steering Wheel Along A Polymoog Keyboard. In The UK Charts It Reached Number 1 In 1979 And In 1980 Hit Number 1 In Canada Two Weeks Running On The RPM National Singles Chart 29 Weeks In The Top 100 . It Was His Only Single To Chart There. It Rose To #4 On The US Cash Box Top 100 And #9 On The US Billboard Hot 100. Though Numan Had A String Of Hits In The UK "Cars" Was His Only Song In The American Pop Charts.

"Cars" is the debut solo single by English musician Gary Numan. It was released on 21 August 1979 and is from his debut studio album, The Pleasure Principle. The song reached the top of the charts in several countries and was considered one of the first big new wave hits. Today, Numan is considered as an early pioneer of the genre.
The song was the first release credited solely to Gary Numan after he dropped the band name Tubeway Army. Musically, the new song was somewhat lighter and more pop-oriented than its predecessors, Numan later conceding that he had chart success in mind: "This was the first time I had written a song with the intention of 'maybe it could be a hit single'; I was writing this before 'Are "Friends" Electric?' happened." He has since described "Cars" as "a pretty average song". According to Numan, the song's lyrics were inspired by an incident of road rage: "I was in traffic in London once and had a problem with some people in front. They tried to beat me up and get me out of the car. I locked the doors and eventually drove up on the pavement and got away from them. It's kind of to do with that. It explains how you can feel safe inside a car in the modern world... When you're in it, your whole mentality is different... It's like your own little personal empire with four wheels on it."
The music video featured Numan's then-current backing band, including Billy Currie from the band Ultravox, though he had not actually played on the recording of "Cars". It is perhaps notable that the video for "Cars" depicts no images of actual cars. At 2:43 in the video, five Gary Numans appear to be "driving" (in a standing position, holding an imaginary steering wheel) along a Polymoog keyboard.
In the UK charts, it reached number 1 in 1979, and in 1980 hit number 1 in Canada two weeks running on the RPM national singles chart (29 weeks in the top 100). It was his only single to chart there. It rose to #4 on the US Cash Box Top 100 and #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Though Numan had a string of hits in the UK, "Cars" was his only song in the American Pop charts. Read more on Last.fm.
