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 TH-cam. 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.
Been a DJ for 40 years from the early 80's to early 20's, so I've heard lots of songs. When I first heard this guitar intro, things were never the same again. This is my favourite song of all time.
personally I think the 90s sound started appearing in around 1987. Nirvana formed then, the pixies were in their first year; there were songs coming out like 'We Care A Lot' by Faith No More.
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 TH-cam 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.
@Paul Yes, except for a fact that there was an upload by another person here on TH-cam 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.
I saw them live in 1988 in the Town & Country Club in London. Back then I was 18 yrs old. The London trip was our a school trip (English-Leistungskurs-Fahrt) organized by my high school in the Black Forest in Germany. This was an unforgetable part of the best days in my life :-)
As a kid in the 90’s my taste wasn’t sophisticated enough to appreciate a lot of the indie bands that didn’t feature an ultra catchy verse chorus verse. Now that I’m 40, I’ve got so much art to go back, & enjoy 😊
Wikipedia - The Primitives are an English indie pop band from Coventry, best known for their 1988 international hit single "Crash". Formed in 1984, disbanded in 1992 and reformed in 2009, the band's two constant members throughout their recording career have been vocalist Tracy Tracy and guitarist Paul "PJ" Court. Drummer Tig Williams has been a constant member since 1987. Often described as an indie pop or indie rock band, The Primitives' musical style can also be seen as straddling power pop, new wave and post-punk
Concordo plenamente contigo meu amigo, a loira mais linda do Rock n Roll, dizem que é a Blondie mas é difícil escolher.... O talento é notório e a beleza angelical é um clássico dos 80
The first concert I attended in my teenage years was at the Hollywood Palladium. The Primitives opened for The Sugar Cubes. I'll never forget that night.
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.
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
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.
Harry Dunne: What's her last name? Lloyd Christmas: You know, I don't really recall. Uh, it starts with "S". Let's see. Swammi? Slippy? Slappy? Swenson? Swanson? Harry Dunne: Maybe it's on the briefcase. Lloyd Christmas: Oh, yeah! Lloyd Christmas: Here it is! "Samsonite"! I was way off! I knew it started with an "S" though.
One of THE most underrated songs of the later 80's. Its musically and timing wise a total gem! (All band members knew their stuff!) Lots of their other songs got overshadowed by crash, which in fairness it was always going to do, but everything they did is worth a good listen.
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.
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"!!! :-)
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
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
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!
Suse's here in 2024! Such a great song. Others (male bands) tried to perform it, but whilst Paul wrote it, so well that it's sounds deceptively effortless, a woman had to sing it
Never thought I'd find this hidden gem after watching a AVGN episode. A perfect year end theme song for a fucked up year, yet the song was so cool I'm gonna put my player on repeat for quite a while.
All the best songs are short, less than 3 minutes. 10 seconds to draw you in and set the hook, a couple of minutes of pop perfection before it ends leaving you wanting so much more.
This song reminds me of back in the day being a bunch of hoodlums with my brother and friends around the neighborhood lol. Such good times Dumb and Dumber is such a classic!
Faszinierend wie der erste Eindruck täuschen kann. Man sieht jemanden und denkt sich nix...Dann hauen die ne mega Stimme raus. Immer wieder faszinierend! Einfach hammer!
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.
You've been looking for this song since it first came out? Lol

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.
Nothing better than that feeling , of finding what feels like the sweet taste of heaven after you've given up on it 🌌
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!
Wow. And I go insane if I can't find a song I've been looking for within 20 minutes!!
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.
The saddest part of this story is that you never saw the masterpiece that is 'Dumb and Dumber'.
2 minutes 33 seconds of pop perfection, 3 chords, 4/4 drumming. Brilliant.
agreed
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 😊
I’ve loved this song for 25 years and never known what she looks like.
She looks exactly how I pictured her.
in my head she had black hair, but she was as cute as she looks in the video. :)
Sexy as fuck
@@sweetpeachnectar I thought black hair too.
yeah,Marilyn Monroe.
I pictured her having long wavy blonde hair lol
Been a DJ for 40 years from the early 80's to early 20's, so I've heard lots of songs. When I first heard this guitar intro, things were never the same again. This is my favourite song of all time.
The Brits/Scots/Irish had so many great songs with awesome guitar intros back in those days.
The first 10 seconds are immense, let alone the rest of the song…. My first ever vinyl single I brought
Such a perfect song, why did this beautiful art disappear from our lovely planet
One of the most 90's sounding 80's songs out there.
Disagree, it sounds 80s. Like rush hour by weidlin

You know that bro
@@benwyatt7619 Dude! Enjoy. I don’t remember how it felt hearing this for the first time. It must’ve been like how you feel though.
Fuck you bro! (Punches you in arm) You're right, but I had to get that in ;)
But for 2 and a half minutes it's pure joy
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
My favorite song!
Blonde hair ..big earrings..black leather jacket...ton of Attitude ❤
SHE'S GORGEOUS 😍
She was a librarian and then joined this band if memory serves.

The greatest song ever conceived, a million times listened and it never gets old
It’s not even the best song from #Coventry!
The whole album Lovely is great. Stop Killing Me is just as good a song as this.

This song is timeless too...and if I play my cards right I'll go see them live in November
Love this track,,,,,,this is my youngest daughters song,,,,,when she was Lill Billy,
A forgotten gem of a song right here!
The guitar riff is truly amazing and beautiful 😊
The legendary song writer and guitarist Mr Paul court
It's impossible to not love this song...
Takes me back to a time when music was amazing. I came of age during the alternative years, and this song is one of the ones I fondly remember.
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

Great power pop song... a pretty good band really...
Glad y like 'em ,but not pop though, simply alternative.
Of course it's a pop song 😎 alternative is media shiite for band's signed to independent record labels 💿
Pop when Pop Music was actually Pop. Modern "Pop" is a mix of Rap and RnB
@@joneshugh EXTREMELY pop. In the best way.
This is Power Pop. It's a musical genre. Look it up. You have time during the virus lockdown.
I don't know why this popped into my feed but I LOVE this song. I haven't heard it in years.
This song was once stuck in your head at a waterpark when you were a kid
Get. Out. Of. My. Brain.
Some of us were no longer kids when it came out.
I was blessed to grow up in the 80s
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
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!
Who else is here in 2024? Great music like this never goes out of style.
Big Seayed's on deck.
Suse's here in 2024! Such a great song. Others (male bands) tried to perform it, but whilst Paul wrote it, so well that it's sounds deceptively effortless, a woman had to sing it
Anyone still listening in 2097?
Show demais.. Eu escutava essa musica na trilha sonora do DVD de Skate da ZERO Skateboards, toooppp!! 🛹❤🇧🇷
Yo por ejemplo!!!!
Never thought I'd find this hidden gem after watching a AVGN episode. A perfect year end theme song for a fucked up year, yet the song was so cool I'm gonna put my player on repeat for quite a while.
This song is so well produced and so catchy. Never heard it on the radio..and have no clue why. Maybe it needed to be about 60 seconds longer?
In Spain there is a radio channel called Rock FM. Sometimes we are lucky it's one of their selections in the afternoon. Love it!
All the best songs are short, less than 3 minutes. 10 seconds to draw you in and set the hook, a couple of minutes of pop perfection before it ends leaving you wanting so much more.
such a great song!
Yes
This song reminds me of back in the day being a bunch of hoodlums with my brother and friends around the neighborhood lol. Such good times Dumb and Dumber is such a classic!
30 years ago!!
Golden hit!!
35 years old.
Band is from Coventry & Tracy Tracy is Australian
I was 20 years old and have no recollection of this song from that time. About five years ago it became one of my favorite 80s retro songs on TH-cam.
Faszinierend wie der erste Eindruck täuschen kann. Man sieht jemanden und denkt sich nix...Dann hauen die ne mega Stimme raus. Immer wieder faszinierend! Einfach hammer!
(I Spanish) A lot of tome shearking this song, i'm so happy :)!!!!!
I use to play this song in a Rock and Roll fm radio in the south of Brazil in 1988 😂.
I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this...
Shayda that John Denver is full of shit man!
Shayda that's the shitty 90's remix☹️
They are right next to my house
And I was thinking of Austin Powers while looking at her.
+Shayda; What do you mean that you expected Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier. when this is The Primitives. Huh?
This is an example of a Perfect Song. Everything about it is Perfect in my opinion.
Love this song, takes me back
saw them last night at Godiva festival ..... they still rock
