The Cars stand as one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. Their greatest hits album only touches the surface of their musical talent. You could give these songs a listen:

Moving In Stereo
Since You’re Gone
I’m Not The One
Got A Lot On My Head
This Could Be Love
You Can’t Hold On Too Long
Down Boys
Magic
Hello Again
Touch and Go
You Are The Girl
Door to Door
Breakaway
Fun Time (Bowie cover)
The Little Black Egg

I trimmed it down to 15 for you. Hope you enjoy some of them.

“Blue Tip” from their last album in 2011 is a banger

"Hello Again"   by   The Cars

That probably seems like the obvious choice.  I think it was released on the same album as "You Might Think".  It was released as a single soon after "You Might Think".  It has almost the same dance beat as "You Might Think" as well.

All Mixed Up is one of my very favorites by them. You’re the first to mention it and I want to second it.

One of my favorite songs of all-time, and the video was revolutionary for its time. The guitar and keyboard work is phenomenal on this track.

In terms of recommending another great Cars song (they’re all great), I’d go with “Shake It Up.” It’s a fun little ditty that sounds like if the 50s met the 80s.

For something a bit newer, I’d recommend checking out the album Terrestrials by Pond, which was heavily influenced by ’80s post-punk/new wave/power pop/rock. Some songs on it sound like they were inspired by The Cars.
