I just saw Rick Ocasek for the third time last Saturday. The first time he was walking in Soho with Paulina, the second time he was walking a lhasa apso by Union Square Park and the third time he was walking around the Flatiron area. And he's always given me a smile. So, I have reached my own sort of Cars trifecta. Yay me!

Ever tempted to ask "Hey Rick, why the long face?"

/but seriously, yay you

I haven't seen that video in years...the "fly" part always cracks me up.

Screw that

You all know THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE (NSFW, new window)

Cars trifecta complete

But you kept it going till the sun fell down

You kept it going

This is the original. It was like that on MTV when it 1st came out for a couple weeks.

My guess, it was so graphic intense, they couldn't finish it in time. A few other things are different too

So is that a DUI?

Welp, I'll just dive right in with this Cars trifecta and say they were the FIRST band I ever saw! They opened for Styx on the Grand Illusion tour in 1978.

So, who was the female lead in this video? It's not Paulina,
and though she's pretty in that overly-made-up early 80's
fashion, she has one of the most obvious nose jobs I've ever seen.

Argh. Forgot for a moment about this thing called Google.....

Her name is Susan Gallagher:
