Retro Video of the Week: "You Might Think" by The Cars

This past Sunday marked the 30th anniversary of the very first MTV Video Music Awards.  Yes kids, MTV used to play music videos.  The most memorable moment of the awards show was Madonna's now-notorious performance of "Like a Virgin" in a wedding dress and bustier, where she simulates some sort of coital activity.  

However, the prize of the night -- the Video of the Year Award -- went to The Cars' "You Might Think," which beat out "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock (who won five awards that night), "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper, and "Every Breath You Take" by The Police.  "You Might Think" is one of The Cars' most famous  songs, as well as one of the band's most successful ones, peaking at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The video is one of the first to feature computer graphics, which may not seem like a big deal now, in the age of CGI, but it was pretty cutting edge back in 1984.
