The Cars Vinyl Record Album 'Heartbeat City' RocknRoll

Heartbeat City is the fifth studio album by American new wave band The Cars, released in 1984.

Heartbeat City contains a total of five American Top 40 singles, two of which ("Drive" and "You Might Think") were Top 10 as well, reaching #3 and #7, respectively. A number of songs from the album gained significant radio and TV exposure, notably "You Might Think", which had a memorable music video in heavy rotation on MTV in 1984 and 1985. Another hit single frequently seen on MTV was "Magic", in which singer/songwriter Ric Ocasek walked on water—that is, the water in a swimming pool at a backyard barbecue party. This song reached #12 in the U.S. The "Drive" video (directed by actor Timothy Hutton) showed Ocasek, who did not sing the song, arguing with a troubled young woman. Said woman was played by model Paulina Porizkova, whom Ocasek would soon marry. "Hello Again" had a video directed by the legendary Andy Warhol -- who also appeared onscreen, further raising the video's curiosity factor. The song "Stranger Eyes" was used in the theatrical trailer of the 1986 film Top Gun, but it never made it into the soundtrack.

When The Cars performed at Live Aid, they played three songs from the album ("You Might Think" and "Drive", plus the album's title track) alongside the fan favorite "Just What I Needed".

The album was produced by acclaimed producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. His commitment to the Cars album meant that he wasn't able to work on the forthcoming Def Leppard album, Hysteria. (However, due to delays in that album's recording, Lange was eventually able to produce the album.)
