I was messing around on Saturday morning with Drag and Drop Drummer. The drum track I created reminded me of a familiar riff and I ended up doing an entire cover song from scratch. It was raining . . . my wife was working . . . and I had four hours to kill.
This song is one of the few that I sang lead on when I was in a band in 1980 and my favorite by the Cars. I'm amazed that I remembered this song so well after 20 years . . . at least how our band played it . . . we changed the chords on the chorus a bit because it sounded better to us. So, with the exception of a live drummer and me doing all the backup vocals, this sounds a lot like our band did two decades ago.

To make sure you don't get the dreaded "Unkown Error" message do this. 1 ) go to the shared folder 2) place a check mark in the box at the left of the file "JustWhatINeeded.mp3 and 3) Click on download on the tool bar. This will bring a new screen with the file chosen shown at right. Underneath it you can click on play or download. I ran a test and everything worked fine.
The guitars( 3 rhythms & 1 lead ) & bass is all POD, the keyboard is a mix of Yamaha DB50XG and Kurtzweil synths. Vocals were mostly first takes done sitting in a chair and yelling up at the AT4033.
