Keep the car running on the darkside.

Posted about 4 years ago
Last year when I picked up The Arcade Fire's Neon Bible, I was having one of those frustrating moments when I could not figure out what song "Keep the Car Running" was ripping off. Well, I FINALLY figured this one out! And I wasn't the only one. (Check out Shawn McNulty's blog: http://songsalike.com/similar-songs/arcade-fire-vs-eddie-and-the-cruisers-or-keep-the-car-running-on-the-darkside/)I was at the gym and heard John Cafferty's "On the Darkside" and said aloud to myself "THAT's THAT DAMNED SONG!" The link above has a nice little clip for you to compare for yourself if you wish. "Songs Alike" is an entertaining blog and helpful if you need an "ah-HA" moment.

    Glam Parsons says I love Arcade Fire. Sorry, because of your post I just realized I was coming across a little negative. I was just frustrated with myself for having one of those "tip of my tongue.." moments. "On The Darkside" was a song from a fictional band in a film who was trying to come off as a Springsteen-esque character. Since obviously Arcade Fire are fans of The Boss, it makes sense that both are similar as they are borrowing from the same musical legend, right?
