I love the music of THE CARS! The group has some slower songs but for the most part, their music is very upbeat and great for cranking up while on a road trip, or for any other reason too!
"Let's Go" was the first single from The Cars' second studio album Candy-O, released in 1979 on Elektra Records. The song was written by Ric Ocasek and features lead vocals by Cars bassist Benjamin Orr. Its signature hook is a series of claps, followed by a shouted "let's go!". The song tells the story of a 17 year old girl and her budding interest in 'the nightlife'.
"She's driving away
with the dim lights on
and she's making a play
she can't go wrong
she never waits too long
she's winding them down
on her clock machine
and she won't give up
'cause she's seventeen
she's a frozen fire
she's my one desire
and i don't want to hold her down
don't want to break her crown
when she says, let's go
I like the nightlife baby
she says, let's go
she's laughing inside
'cause they can't refuse
she's so beautiful now
she doesn't wear her shoes
she doesn't like to choose
she's got wonderful eyes
and a risque mouth
and when I ask her before
she said she's holding out
she's a frozen fire
she's my one desire...." (Source:azlyrics.com)
