The Cars Unlocked: breaking down the credit roll

Many of you know that the credit roll at the end of The Cars’ Unlocked DVD is broken into four boxes, with different content going simultaneously in each little area. When I first got it, I went kinda buggy trying to watch each corner exclusively, and then rewinding and backtracking to hone in on the next section.

Well, I finally decided to break the screen into each of the four parts and zoom in on the action, and then clip each one as a video segment. Once I had all four, I strung them together into this one video. I started in the upper left and then went clockwise from there. We do lose a little in clarity, but we gain in the ability to focus!

Be sure to take a peek at the video’s comment section. I made a list of many of the delicious little tidbits to be found, along with their time stamps. This should make it easy to return to our favorite spots in the future. Let me know which ones are your favorites!

Here we go — enjoy!

Lyrics: “Go Away”

Lyrics: “Go Away” by The Cars

Well I think of you when I fantasize, the best I’ve ever had

And I think of you when I’m driving myself completely mad

Why don’t we go… why don’t we go away

Why don’t we go… why don’t we go away

Walking on the footbridge high above the clouds

Listening to your yesterday (you didn’t make a sound)

Dazzled by your sweet lips touching on me

Here comes trouble, can’t you see

Why don’t we go… why don’t we go away

Why don’t we go… why don’t we go away

Well I think of you when I dramatize the things we never did

And I think of you when I’m flying, when I’m feeling just like a kid

Why don’t we go… why don’t we go away

Why don’t we go… why don’t we go away

Why don’t we go… why don’t we go away

Why don’t we go… why don’t we go away

Our own March madness!

Kicking off the month of March with something we’re so lucky to have: new footage!

And when I say “new” I mean brand-spanking, never-before-published NEW FOOTAGE. I’m so grateful to my cool collector friend who generously dug through the stacks to pull this to the surface for us!

I’ll be uploading more from this show (along with some behind-the-scenes deets) later this month, but for now, please enjoy the ORR Band’s performance of “Candy-O” at the Beach Club in Salisbury, Massachusetts, on July 4, 1998.
