Comment:

By 1987, the bloom was well off new wave's rose, and as you can hear in "Double Trouble" from their final album, [i]Door To Door[/i], the Cars tried to change with the times, abandoning the spikier edges of their early hits for a heavier, hard-rock sound. Guitarist Elliot Easton cut only one solo album, 1985's [i]Change No Change[/i], a collaboration with singer-songwriter Jules Shear; "Shayla," taken from that disc, crosses a Hollies-type bubblegum-y love song with an Elvis Costello-inspired vocal delivery for a very un-Cars-like track. Ric Ocasek's cover of "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," from the Disney kids' tribute album [i]Simply Mad About the Mouse[/i] plucks the song from [i]Song of the South[/i] out of '40s-era Uncle Remus-ville and transports it into the space-age with synths and a snare-smackin' beat.
