"Moving in Stereo" is a song by American rock band The Cars. It appeared on their 1978 self-titled debut album. It was also released as the B-side of the band's "My Best Friend's Girl" single in 1978. It is one of the few Cars songs partially written by the band's keyboardist, Greg Hawkes.
The song was notable for its use in the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, where it accompanied Judge Reinhold's fantasy of Phoebe Cates removing her bikini top while walking toward him. It has also been featured in TV parodies of that scene. While the song was in the movie, it was not included on the soundtrack album released by Asylum Records, coincidentally a sister label to Elektra. It has since been featured or parodied in several films and television shows.
"Moving in Stereo" is sung by Cars bass guitarist and vocalist Benjamin Orr. It also features a short bass solo by Orr. Throughout the song, Orr's bass is treated with an "Octavider" effects unit, doubling the bass one octave higher.

“But when with moving accents thou
Shalt constant faith and service vow,
Thy Celia shall receive those charms
With open ears, and with unfolded arms.”
