      @ellab8897 Год назад +1

      @@leojones22- Not a great big deal, but it’s actually “…who’s gonna plug *their* ears when you scream?” The meaning is kind of self explanatory. Screams are loud. Sometimes so loud, it feels like the sound is hurting the ears of whoever hears it. Covering or plugging the ears makes the screams sound not as loud.
      Or are you asking what the line means? The question is, who will be there with you when you scream?

    The Cars had a LOT of hits in the 70s and 80s. Ric Ocasek (the skinny guy in the video interacting with the woman, who's Paulina Porizkova, wife of Ric, and model) was the frontman, singer, and songwriter. Ben Orr is bass player and singer on this song. Ric said that whenever they wrote a song that needed a really good singer, they'd give that one to Ben. Ric and Ben are now both deceased.

    Interesting! The two arguing are Rick Ocasek and his wife, model Paulina Poreskova while the singer in this song is Benjamin Orr. Rick wrote much of their music and sang many of the songs. The video shows the early days of MTV with bands exploring the new medium of visual art. This came out while I was ending a long term relationship. It has that quiet sorrow down!

    Some facts about the song/video:
    . The guy who appears as the boyfriend having an argument is Ric Ocasek - composer, guitarist, and singer (not the singer on this song)
    . The girl is the model Paulina Porizkova, a czech model
    . Paulina and Ric met each other when they were filming the video and 5 years later they got married. Their marriage lasted 30 years. Ric passed away aged 75.
    . The singer - Ben Orr (bassist, composer too) sadly passed away very young aged 53.

    Paulina Porizkova was the model who appears in most of the clip, sharing a short scene with Ocasek midway through. (Orr has his own sets of close-ups, while the other members are depicted only in mannequin form.) Actor Timothy Hutton, an Oscar winner for Robert Redford's , was the unlikely candidate to direct the video after complimenting the band to their manager, his neighbor at the time. “I felt something between them instantly,” Hutton said, recalling to that the pair were eager to spend time rehearsing together.

    This is my favorite Cars song. However this is the first time I've seen the video for the song. I'd always thought it was Rick Ocasek who sang it for some reason and not Ben Orr.
    Anyway it reminds me of other songs with a similar sad vibe like "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M., and "Nobody's Home" by Avril Lavigne, and "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin, and "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette, and "These Eyes" by The Guess Who, and "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA, and "Skyfall" by Adele, and "Crazy Love" by Poco, and "Operator" by Jim Croce, and "El Paso" by Marty Robbins, and "End of the World" by Imelda May. But to end this comment on a positive note, listen to "Gettin' In the Mood" by the Brian Setzer Orchestra. The perfect antidote to all the previous sad songs.🙂👍

    We didn't think it was sad at the time. We thought it was a love song and it was used for slow dancing at social events.

    Great song, great Band. Another song that'll bring you to tears is by Johnny Cash, "Hurt". Saddest song I ever heard.

    You need something uplifting like Spandau Ballet's "Only when you leave" or something like the Players try Ambrosia's "How much I feel" or "Your the only woman" or "biggest Part of me."

    Ric Ocasik was a brilliant songwriter. He's responsible for their entire catalog of songs. Incidentally the lady in the video that he's arguing with, Paulina Porzikova
