Magic (fictional covers of The Cars song)

The following is a list of fictional covers of the Cars song "Magic".

Screaming Yellow Players version
In 2003, the Screaming Yellow Players covered the song for the soundtrack of Sagwa: The Movie. The Cars frontman co-produced the cover with Helge Rehder and Lothar Eike Rösch.

Derek De Vriendt plays the main guitar riff, while Samantha E. Aizer and Tommy Lionheart play a modified version of the original guitar solo. Tommy's guitar parts were overdubbed in at Gabriel Haim's home studio, because he was away recording PowerSlide's third album in at the time.

Music video
The music video, directed by Olov Flodqvist, was shot in the band's hometown of. The band exits a building, and sees a crowd of people, protestors, and policemen fighting with each other. The band notice a stage, and decide to get onstage to perform the song, which causes the crowd to cease their activities and start dancing instead. The sound of the concert causes others nearby to stop engaging in negative activities (such as family fights and violence) and race to the scene of the concert instead. Bystanders wonder why the song is affecting these people, only to realize that it's because, as the song title suggests, "it's magic". The video paints a message of friendship and hope and satirizes the divide in the modern world between cultures, ideologies and race.
