I swear to god this song sounds like an archetypal 80s song…like…its at the school dance…and the boy and the girl are looking for eachother…then all the sudden they make eye contact and this song’s melody breaks in…Jesus christ, I know the song is out there but I don’t know the name of any big 80s electro artists…anyway, check it out, and listen to the rest of Little Dragon if you get the chance. They’re pretty dope.
ninja edit: when the melody first breaks in and when the chorus breaks in is what I’m most thinking about
Cool!! Yes, the Cars song was a staple of dances for a long time - always played at the end of the night because the lyrics would entice single people to pair up for the drive home.
Hey - making the video for that song is how Rick Ocasek, leader of The Cars and notoriously tall, gaunt and with the largest Adam’s apple known to man, met and hooked up with Paulina Porizkova, pretty much the hottest supermodel ever. There’s hope I tell you! (They’re still married).
