• "Bye Bye Love," written by Ric Ocasek, is the seventh track from the group's debut album, The Cars. Benjamin Orr does the lead vocals here - he and Ocasek shared lead vocal duties in the group.

• This is is not at all to be confused with the song of the same title by The Everly Brothers (and covered by Ray Charles, Simon & Garfunkel, and others). The Everly Brothers song implies a comma: "Bye Bye, Love" where The Cars is: "Bye, Bye Love."The Everly's hit is very straightforward: the guy has lost his girl and he's heartbroken. Ric Ocasek didn't write like that: his songs were full of contradictions and ambiguity. This one is more chaotic than most, as we hear the singer losing his mind and blaming it on the girl:

  Substitution mass confusionClouds inside your head

  Well, foggin' all my energies

• This song has been used in the HBO TV series Big Love in the 2010 episode "The Sins of the Father," where it was chosen for having an '80s sound. Since the song was written and released in 1978, that tells you how far The Cars were looking ahead. The song also appears in the movies Super 8 (2011) and 7 Chinese Brothers (2015).

• In Frank Moriarty's Seventies Rock - The Decade of Creative Chaos, it is noted that "The clever melding of disparate elements that characterized 1978's The Cars led to an astonishing success for the band, chiefly because the stodgy album-oriented radio stations - which had in large part attempted to ignore punk and New Wave - finally were confronted with new music that they couldn't help but play."

  When the album was released in June 1978, the #1 song in America was "You're The One That I Want" from Grease, followed by Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb. America had Saturday Night Fever and there seemed to be no cure, so getting something not-disco on the charts at all was a spectacular achievement.
