The Cars es una de esas bandas que encapsulan el espíritu de una época. Fundada en 1976 en Boston, Massachusetts, se destacó por fusionar el rock con elementos del new wave. El grupo integró la experimentación tecnológica en su sonido, algo que resonó con una audiencia hambrienta de innovación musical. La formación original incluyó a Ric Ocasek (voz y guitarra rítmica), Benjamin Orr (voz y bajo), Elliot Easton (guitarra principal), Greg Hawkes (teclados) y David Robinson (batería).
El álbum debut homónimo "The Cars", lanzado en 1978, fue un éxito rotundo. Con hitos como "Just What I Needed", "My Best Friend's Girl" y "Good Times Roll", capturaron la atención tanto del público como de los críticos. La capacidad del álbum para mezclar guitarras eléctricas con sintetizadores audaces lo hizo destacar en la escena musical.
La dinámica entre los miembros de la banda fue un factor crucial en su éxito. Ric Ocasek y Benjamin Orr compartieron responsabilidades vocales, lo que añadió una diversidad tonal a sus canciones. Greg Hawkes implementó teclados y sintetizadores que caracterizarían el sonido distintivo del grupo, mientras que la batería precisa de David Robinson y las guitarras decididas de Elliot Easton completaron el cuadro.
El segundo álbum "Candy-O" (1979) consolidó su lugar en el firmamento del rock. Temas como "Let's Go" y "It's All I Can Do" siguieron manteniendo a la banda en las listas de éxitos.

Victim
She can take you
anywhere she wants to
She can show you things,
That make you weak
She can make you think,
That you're the only one,
She can steal your heart,
with just one wink,
why she'll hold ya tight,
and she won't let go,
She'll make it last and she'll make it slow,
She tell you things that you should not know,
cause your the victim, the victim of lo-o-ove,
Framed by the night, touched by the glove,
your the victim, the victim of love,
She can freeze you, when she doesn't want to talk,
She can work it on in, yea she can go take a walk,
She can have or leave it, she can do the skidoo-o ,
Well you better believe it, She's having fun on you,
She can hold you tight,
and she won't let go,
She'll make it last and she'll make it slow,
She'll tell you things you should not know,
Cause your the victim, victim of lo-o-ove,
framed by the night, touched by the glove,
Your the vic-tim, victim of lo-o-ove,
That's right,
Oh When she's calling you out,
You better run to her-er,
when she's just falling out,
You'd better care,
Oh when she needs somebody,
Oh you better run to her-er,
Oh when she gives in too soon,
It's just not fair.
Oh well she'll hold you tight,
And she won't let go,
She'll make it last and she'll make it last ,
and she'll make it slow-o,
She'll whisper things,

cause you the victim, yea,
victim of lo-o-ove,
You're framed by the night,
and touched by love,
You're the vic-tim,
victim of lo-o-ove,
