This month, all my A to Z Challenge posts will feature a song that is on my personal list of “deep cuts.” These are songs that my husband often razzes me about, that there’s no one else who has ever heard of them or is listening to them, or they’re songs that possibly are just not that mainstream. If we are of the same era or run in the same musical taste circles, none of these may seem that off the beaten path, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t fun songs! Enjoy!

I know I am a day behind in my posts — I will end up posting on Sunday to get caught up!

One of the best band from the ’80s is The Cars. Ric Ocasek had one of the most identifiable and distinctive voices in rock ‘n’ roll. The Cars had plenty of mega hits — but by fat, my favorite song by The Cars is this one, “Up and Down.” It’s the last track on the album Panorama, and what I love most about it is the hard driving beat of the song. The guitar and drums in this song just fill my head, especially at the end of the song. It’s just such a great, rocking tune that sounds better the louder you play it!

Give it a listen, nice and loud!
