Cars (song)
Cars is an
electropop single by
Gary Numan from his
1979 album,
The Pleasure Principle. With an instantly recognizable and infectious hook, it reached the top of the charts in several countries and is today considered a
classic rock staple. However, its popularity was so enormous that it overshadowed much of the rest of Numan's career in the
1980s, causing him to be thought of in after years as a
one-hit wonder. The song was later
covered by
Fear Factory, with guest vocals provided by Numan.
