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.
