      Bassist for Numan (1978-81) was Paul Gardiner who died 1984,.

    I was obsessed by Gary Numan/Tubeway Army when this came out - I was 8 !

    His biggest hit Cars is one of the most iconic and defining songs of the 80s

    For about four albums at that time Numan was my go to music. A true outsider. He's certainly not everybody's "cup of tea"... Thanks for the reaction.

      BTW... the song is about a robot prostitute and the single made it to #1 in England because the powers that be didn't know that that was what he was talking about so it didn't get banned.

    Song is about robot prostitutes and yes at 45 years old it was way ahead of it's time. 😂 Good reaction video thanks for checking out this criminally underrated artist who is still going strong 👍😁🤓

    This song was wrote in 1979 and classic Gary Numan it is set in the future where humans interact with Androids, in this case synthetic prostitutes. The line "mine broke down so there's no one to love " how far are we away from that now lol? Brilliant vision .

    Officially this song is credited as Tubeway Army not Gary Numan, though it is obviously him

    It just seems so amazing - and somehow really nice - to watch these bright young Americans "reacting to" (enjoying?) songs that defined my British childhood 400 years ago! (It feels like it's been that long some days when the old bones are creaking a little bit when it's time to get up ;)

      PS: You should check out the Sugarbabes cover of this from the early 2000s. I thought it was total sacrilege when I first heard it. But then I found out that the big man (Gary Numan) loved it, so, like the dozy fan I am, I gave it the good old second chance. It's actually pretty cool.

    Quite by accident, the man born Gary Webb discovered a Mini-Moog synthesizer in the studio where he was recording his first album. It led to a quiet revolution. This was a No.1 hit in the UK (he followed it up a few months later). Bad decisions cast him into oblivion as the decade progressed, but he's now acknowledged as a pop pioneer.

    • @thelwulfeoforlic6482
      @thelwulfeoforlic6482 Před měsícem +2

      Was it “bad decisions”,or the fact the music press set out to destroy a young man (with high functioning autism), trying to come to terms with fame and all that entails?

    @cup_cuppy_cuppers5817 Před 2 měsíci +8

    This is actually a song by Tubeway Army, of which Gary Numan was a member. I have a 12" inch single (Vinyl record) that has an extended version of Cars by Gary Numan and the B-side is Are Friends Electric by Tubeway Army.

    • @daviddeath6029
      @daviddeath6029 Před 2 měsíci +2

      Tubeway army were his backing band numan wrote and sang everything as welyas played many of the synths etc so really tubeway army are Gary Numan 👽

    Gotta do “Cars” by him,it’s a dance classic,or it was back then.

    • @pizzamahn1208

    It's my understanding that this is two songs put together, the lines that are sung were one song and the spoken parts were another. A most excellent (newer) version of this song can be found here under the title 'Gary Numan 'Are Friends Electric?' AllSaints Basement Sessions'. Thanks for the video.

    Yes indeed, Jarvis has a gift for interpretation. Sit tight Jarvis! There's another flaming track from this album coming to your way soon! As usual, fantastic program and a penetrating analysis!

  • @daviddeath6029
    @daviddeath6029 Před 2 měsíci +2

    Don't do cars! That's all anyone ever doest of him and so I thank you for doing this track. Numan is the most underrated and influential artist of the last 50years. You need to deep dive into his work I'd say try metal and M.E. For starters! 😊

  • @FaoladhTV
    @FaoladhTV Před měsícem

    The reason "Friends" is in quote marks in the title is because "Friends" is the word Numan used for robots in a few of his songs. This will matter especially when you get around to Down in the Park.
