    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.

      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 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.

    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

    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.
