Arcade Fire and Eddie and the Crusiers

How many of you remember the 1983 Eddie and the Cruisers? It was one of my favorite movies as a kid and the John Cafferty Band played the music. They had a big hit from the movie with "On the Dark Side", which I loved. I now realize it sounds like a Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mellencamp rip off, but I still dig the song anyway.

About three weeks ago I was listening to the Arcade Fire concert from New York and I thought The Arcade Fire was covering John Cafferty. Instead, the song is listed as a new Arcade Fire song called "Keep the Car Running."

If you are a fan of Eddie and the Cruisers you should check out The Arcade Fire version because I think you will like it too.
