Stop! Don't pause the song, the first few bars may seem a bit off at first, but listen on. Good Times Roll was written by The Cars, and released on the first album, The Cars, which was released in 1978. The album itself was immensely popular when it came out, and they had to suspend their second to be released on a later date, so as to not clash with the remaining popularity of their first. This song has a funky intro I'll admit, and even into the verse, but as soon as that second guitar and drums enter into the song, it transforms the song, adding plenty of body, and quite and sturdy feel to it. The song was written by Ric Ocasek, the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, and he creates the sort of psychedelic and surreal feel to the song, with lots of synth, many now refer to this as new wave rock. My personal feelings about the subject that the song refers to is a euphoria, and trying to keep those good times, so Let the Good Times Roll!
