    As Long As It Was Deep: Unpacking “Just What I Needed” by The Cars
    Apr 23 2025

    In this episode of the Behind The Song podcast, Janda dives into “Just What I Needed,” the first hit single released from The Cars’ self-titled debut. A song that proves even the catchiest little tunes can actually be very complex, expressing a feeling that's hard to verbalize. And the killer opening riff borrows from a 1960’s bubblegum pop hit! Get into it in the new episode of the Behind The Song podcast.

Extremely professional!

Janda is extremely professional! All of her podcasts are so interesting. She gets right to the point about the background and meaning of the song and doesn't leave questions unanswered! I highly recommend this podcast!
