Substitution Mass Confusion: A Tribute to The Cars is a 2005 compilation album featuring covers of songs originally performed by the American rock band The Cars. The album was released by Not Lame Recordings.[1] Many of the performers featured on the album were from the Boston area, where The Cars first gained exposure in the late 1970s.[2]

The line 'Substitution Mass Confusion' comes from a lyric in the Cars song "Bye Bye Love".

According to Billboard, the album was inspired by the 2000 cancer death of Cars singer and bassist Benjamin Orr. A portion of the album's proceeds were to be donated to the American Cancer Society in Orr's memory.[3]
