On the Colbert Report this past Monday, guess who's making a cameo appearance? 80's Rock legend Ric Ocasek! Stephen Colbert was doing a bit about scientists exploring the Biblical story of Jesus walking on the water. Ocasek was brought on as an expert on the subject, because in the Cars video for the song "Magic," Ocasek is seen walking on water (the surface of a Malibu swimming pool to be exact.) Totally awesome, and a perfect reference for tonight's Trivia Challenge: In the first line of the song "Magic," Ric Ocasek states "Summer - it drives me upside down." In the next line of the song, what is it that Ocasek compares the sensation to? Bonus Question: Before Ric Ocasek finished his appearance on "The Report," Stephen Colbert asked Ocasek if there was anyone he would like to put on notice. Ocasek chose Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Artist Todd Rundgren. Caught me by surprise. I had heard that XTC had a hard time working with Rundgren back in the 80's, but I didn't know he had beef with The Cars. Probably just a joke, but while we're on the subject of Todd Rundgren, what was the name of his 1983 hit single that made it to number 29 on the Billboard charts?
