Your Mental Sorbet: The Cars - You Might Think

There's more to light than the opposite of dark.
Ric Ocasek

Richard (Ric) Theodore Otcasek(March 23, 1944 – September 15, 2019)

Here is another "Mental Sorbet
that we could use to momentarily forget about those
things that leave a bad taste in our mouths

The music video is one of the first videos to use computer graphics. The video features band leader Ric Ocasek and model Susan Gallagher in a series of encounters. Ocasek appears in her bathroom mirror, inside a submarine in her bathtub, in her mouth, as a fly, as King Kong swatting attacking airplanes on top of the Empire State Building and as the Robot Monster, among other incarnations.
"You Might Think" won the first MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year and was nominated for five more awards (best special effects, best art direction, viewer's choice, best concept video, and most experimental video) at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards. The video also won five awards (best overall, best conceptual, most innovative, best editing, and best special effects) at Billboard's 1984 Video Music Awards and four awards (best achievement in music video, best editor in music video, best engineer in music video, and best camera in music video) at the Videotape Production Association's 1985 Monitor Awards.

Good Night Mr. Ocasek

Stay Tuned
