Just What I Needed

1978 · via The Cars

The Cars’ 1978 recording of “Just What I Needed” is the earliest release on file. Ric Ocasek of The Cars is credited as its writer. Also recorded by Big Daddy (released 1983), Sister Hazel (released 2004) and Top of the Poppers (released 1979), among 54 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz. It is on the album The Cars (1978).

From the counter

Ocasek's song was still pulling people in 26 years after The Cars recorded it, long enough for Sister Hazel to take a run at it in 2004. Play the 1978 original, then theirs, and listen for which parts nobody dared to touch.
