Non-neutral POV and unsourced claims[edit]

Our article currently states:

The song can be described as one of their more punk-oriented tracks, but with a perfect blend of soft rock, it includes rare backing vocals from lead guitarist Elliot Easton and keyboardist Greg Hawkes singing "You can make the switch, you can have your wish"

1. That's not even good sentence structure

2. "a perfect blend if soft rock" is far from neutral

3. "[I]t includes rare backing vocals from lead guitarist Elliot Easton and keyboardist Greg Hawkes singing "You can make the switch, you can have your wish" . . . " This is an unusual claim, and requires a source. What I've always read is that the backing hamonies were recorded by three or four of the members singing one part of the harmony, quadruple-tracking it, and then doing the same for the next part, and so on. The harmonies always included Orr, even if he also sang lead on that particular song.

Personally, I adore the Cars, but Wikipedia does have standards about neutrality and source citation.
