Bad touching
Listening to The Cars' debut album is like flipping through a photo album of a genetically engineered family. Pop-wise, everything is aligned for perfection. Except this black sheep. Maybe it was a bone thrown to the art schoolers in their audience. I can't help but hear the chorus as a warning.
We are not in it for the money. Songblague runs on communitarian values, love of music, and a dash of vanity. If you like what you're hearing, please purchase it from one of the remaining retailers who would like to sell it to you.
Sounds like early XTC, something from White Music even
