The MP3 deal of the day over at Amazon today is the album Candy-O by The Cars for only $2.99.

The quadruple-platinum album, originally released in 1979, was the sophomore effort for the Boston-based new wave pop band and included the popular tunes “Let’s Go,” “Dangerous Type,” and the title track — three great songs definitely worth the three bucks on their own.

Written by frontman Ric Ocasek with vocals by bassist Benjamin Orr, “Let’s Go” is probably the most recognizable by the general public, especially since its currently being used in TV ads for Lee Jeans.

Note, this sale is today only.

Now with their songs being used for TV commercials and their self-titled first album recently released for the video game Rock Band, I’m guessing The Cars are going to find a lot of new fans.

This must have been a popular sale at Amazon, because they already had this deal for the album back in August.
