I heard this song as a child on a substandard, early evening, home video clip show on TV in the 90s... I have been looking for it ever since, without EVER hearing it again. Finally, by pure chance the album it's on came up while I was scrolling through a music critic site's Tumblr feed and based on the blurb I looked it up on CZcams. Nearly hit the ceiling when I jumped out of my seat upon realising I finally found it and was hearing it for the first time in over 20 years. What a tune.
Yeah, I remember hearing it on 'You've Been Framed' in the 90s too! Shame it took so long for you to find it, but at least you did! I found a song I'd been searching for, for about 20 years fairly recently, so I know the feeling!
Glad you found it, because it really does haunt you......I've been looking for a punk song for over 20 years. I caught it by off chance on cassette tape (poor quality) but then cd's came about and my parents (who have 100 year old furniture btw) decided my tapes were obsolete. The only comfort I have is.....I can hum it in my head.

You wouldn't believe how hard it was to get here. I caught the last minute or so of this music video on TV (VH1 Classic "We are the 80's") earlier this evening, but didn't catch the band or the name of the song. I immediately went on an 80's searching spree, but the 1000+ videos I scrolled past were the same old mainstream hits. Google and CZcams kept throwing Madonna, Blondie and The Runaways at me. I had no lyrics to go on, but I was determined to hear this one again. I ended up with countless tabs open in my browser, and just as I was ready to give up I arrived at a random list of the top 10 UK indie bands from the 80's. At the very top of that list? This video.

This will always have a very special place in my heart, and one of my favourite memories of my life. When me and my Dad would visit my Nan's farm he would pull over at the start of the driveway, sit me on his lap so I could see over the dash and steer, he would turn this up full volume and floor it. Kicking up dust and with a beaming, menacing, smiling toddler at the wheel, my Nan would see us approaching the house at 50mph, threading the car through the narrow gateway then come to a sliding halt on the gravel just outside her kitchen window. I never understood why she would come running out with a wooden spoon and proceed to beat my father's laughter out of him, and when I was old enough to understand it made me appreciate that drive even more. He passed away in 2013 just two weeks before Christmas but the memories like these we shared taught me that, when I do become a father I will know to follow by his example and make every moment as fun as possible, because those are the ones we love the most.
That's a great observation. AVGN wouldn't be what he is today without LJN in pretty much the same way toilet paper wouldn't be what it is without sh*t.
@Paul Yes, except for a fact that there was an upload by another person here on CZcams whose video has lots of view and was removed by YT, It took lots of years for Vevo to incorporate and make it their own.
this is it this is the one the one i wish everyone knew the greatest unsung hit of the 80s this this is my jam it's AMAZING a perfect, flawless pop song
@gailan "Crash" is a song written by The Primitives for their 1988 debut album Lovely and peaked at number five on United Kingdom singles chart and number three on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks
The Primitives, along with Voice of the Beehive, and the Darling Buds (and let's not forget Holly Beth Vincent) should have at least 4-5 Top Ten singles in America EACH! Elvis said it best, "the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools...!" How is it that so many great tunes from the 80's are basically unheard today?
Because drum machines,synths and epectropop reigned supreme back in the 80s. Guitar based bands like Primitives,or the Smiths were either one hit wonders or totally against the current,respectively.
@@Panos-xo9rc You're totally wrong on that my friend. Those "synth" bands were just another "alternative" current that never made the mainstream and were trying just as hard as the ones I mentioned to get heard by an audience that in America, at least, that was continually fed the leftover dregs of the garbage popular in the 70's. "Classic rock?" The most anomalous term ever!
THIS has to be the BEST SONG EVER from Dumb&Dumber (my all-time favorite movie!!!) Loved this song when it first came out in the 80's and when it was added to the Dumb&Dumber soundtrack,it became an instant "classic"!!! :-)
I've been listening to the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack for years but never thought to watch this clip. Now I can put a face to the name and what a gorgeous woman Tracy is. Oh.....and brilliant musicians too
This takes me back to 1988 how old holy shitballs music is so powerful! I was obsessed and in love with this song then and it’s just as good now and it holds up. I’m so grateful for the music. Oh my goodness I love the Internet.
You know what's really sad? Most of us growing up with this music, had NO idea how cool it was until the 90's. Now the 2000's have proven (almost) no one can make good music
35 years to find this song. Today I sleep happy.
Waking up to Tracy Mac world G'roud
Go sing yourself to sleep. This is just so wonderful.
It's been online for a long time though :) I'll be seeing them live in a few months time hopefully. Tracy even hotter now she's older, although I'm definitely only going for the music
You've been looking for this song since it first came out? Lol
52 years 😅
No matter where you are from, dumb and dumber, Mr. bean or Lego band, this song is really good and nostalgic
A little bit of everything, still an awesome band
Also the Goldbergs. That's where I heard it, haha. Which is deliberately nostalgic to a tee, of course!
Burnout crash too
No film or TV program brought me here, I'm here because I like the song

2 minutes 33 seconds of pop perfection, 3 chords, 4/4 drumming. Brilliant.

It's quick for it's time hardly any Songs are like that
Average 3 to 4mins,4mins perfect for a Song whatever Genre it is
Perfection indeed, perfectly perfect
You just described a perfect punk more than a pop 😊
One of the most 90's sounding songs that was not a 90's song.
it sounds like the songs by Lush or Belly
@@myleswoo1128 Someone had to be first.
I nominate Edie Brickel and the New Bohemians - What I Am

This sounds nothing like a 90's song. That guitar track and the synth underneath it is the epitome of the 80's.
SHE'S GORGEOUS 😍
She was a librarian and then joined this band if memory serves.
Those Primitives are full of sht, man

Long live the Nerd!
i like the sound of that, will you please share your collection?
I honestly prefer the nerds version of both crash and mmm mmm mmm mmm!

Special thanks to Laughin Jokin Numbnuts for making the god awful games that inspired James' decent into madness.
This song released today would work so well and still feels just as fresh as the day it came out.
