The CARS - Heartbeat City (Fan Version) Unofficial Music Video by #Videos80s
“Heartbeat City“ is a song by American new wave band the Cars. The song, written by Ric Ocasek, is the closing track on the band’s fifth studio album Heartbeat City.
Original pressing of the U.S. LP and cassette version listed the title of “Heartbeat City“ as “Jacki“.
“Heartbeat City“ was one of the four songs performed by the Cars during their performance on Live Aid in 1985.
“Heartbeat City“ has been described retrospectively as “ethereal“ and as a “highlight“ from Heartbeat City by AllMusic critic Greg Prato. Donald Guarisco, also of AllMusic, has said the track “was a memorable effort in [the] vein [of ’atmospheric moodpieces’], a hypnotic bit of new wave that mixed impressionistic lyrics with an entrancing electronic soundscape.“ He went on to say, “The result was probably a little too esoteric to be a hit but it got some exposure as the B-side to ’You Might Think’ and provide a fittingly arty finale for the Heartbeat City album.

Lyrics:
Oh Heartbeat City here we come
And happy days count on thumbs
And nothin’ really gets us down
As long as Jacki’s back in town
I’m glad you made it
I can’t complain
Oh Jacki (Jacki)
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh Jacki (oh Jacki)
What took you so long
I thought you knew the way
(Heartbeat city)
The noise electric
Never stops
And all you need
Is what you got
And there’s a place for everyone
Under Heartbeat City’s golden sun
Oh Jacki
(What took you so long)
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh Jacki (Jacki)
(What took you so long)
What took you so long
I thought you knew the way
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
You know, I’m glad you made it
I can’t complain
I missed you so badly
When you jumped that train
oh Jacki
(What took you so long)
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh Jacki (Jacki)
(What took you so long)
What took you so long
(Thought you knew the way)
I thought you blew away
Oh Heartbeat City
Lights at night
(Heartbeat City)
It’s getting closer
Out of sight
(Heartbeat City)
Heartbeat City’s on the loose
(Heartbeat City)
Better catch
The blue caboose
Oh, huh, Heartbeat City
It’s my life
(Heartbeat city)
(Heartbeat city)
(Heartbeat city)
