Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Drive" | I consider this to be somewhat of a 'vain' song because "Drive" is what you do with a Car, right? This was one of the band's biggest hits from the 80's (and one of their softer-sounding ones, too), with Ben Orr on lead vocals. - Khodor |

Story about this misheard lyric by: Eric I was going to do it karaoke and didn't want to stumble in surprise to the actual lyrics, as I had the feeling I was not hearing things correctly. A quick search put me straight. |

"Good Times Roll"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: If the illusion is real, let them give you a ride.
Why They're Nonsensical: If the illusion is real, then it's not an illusion. That phrase contradicts itself. An illusion, by definition, is something that's not real, so if you say that an illusion IS real, then that's an oxymoron.

| "Magic"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Uh-oh it's magic,
when I'm with you. Uh-oh it's magic. Uh-oh it's magic. When I'm with you. Why They're Nonsensical: That has got to be one of the cheesiest pick up lines in history.

"Let's Go"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: She's got wonderful eyes
And a risque mouth And when I asked her before She said she's holding out Why They're Misrhymed: Technically the use of similar vowel sounds as opposed to straight rhyming is called assonance. And I have no problem with that, but since there are rhymes earlier in the song ('fire' with 'desire,' for instance) 'mouth' with 'out' just doesn't cut it. Though The Cars are still my favorite band, and I am by no means doubting Ric Ocasek's songwriting integrity.

"Touch And Go"
The Dirty Lyrics: And it felt so right
Just like the hush of midnight And you said With me it's touch and go Why They're Dirty: I found out on the internet that 'touch and go' is a euphemism for masturbation, I really should have known with the 'I touched your star' lyric earlier on...God, I've been living under a rock! And this is coming from a huge Cars fan, mind you.

"Bye Bye Love"
The Lyrics: It's just a broken lullaby
Why: I've listened to this over and over, and still sounds like, "It's just a f---ing alibi!"
Submitted by: Ken
| "You Might Think"
The Lyrics: But you kept it going 'til the sun fell down
You kept it going. Why: On the second line, Ric Ocasek pronounces "kept" as "kep". Done anyone know what "kep" means?
