DEF: The Cars “You Are The Girl”

Boston-based band The Cars have reached the Top 40 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart 13 times in their career, including a string of eight straight Top 40 singles between 1984 and 1987. The band’s last song in that streak was also their final Top 40 hit to date. On this date in 1987, that song — “You Are The Girl” — climbed to a peak position of number 17, where it would spend one week. Today, “You Are The Girl” by The Cars is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
