This Weekend's Wildcard is brought to you by The Cars off of their self-titled, debut album in 1978. The song is famous for its use in the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It is used in the scene where Judge Reinhold's character is fantasizing about his sister's friend, played by Phoebe Cates, getting out of the pool and walking towards him. It's one of the most famous scenes from the 80s and has been parodied plenty of times through the years including Family Guy.
Since there isn't an official video for this song, I give you a fan made video dedicated to Phoebe Cates. It features scenes from Fast Times and Private School. The scene that made it famous is included around the 2 minute mark. Enjoy!
Exploring Heavy Metal and all its glory. Heavy Metal is often misunderstood and thought to be just a bunch of guys banging and screaming when in fact it can be extremely thoughtful, intelligent, and sincere. Expect some throw-down-head-banging, chill mood metal, and gloomy death metal that you're probably not going to hear on the radio. On the weekends we'll mix things up with a Weekend Wildcard and an Easy Like Sunday Morning Track to get you over your hangover!
