About Crash

"Crash" is a song written by The Primitives band members Paul Court, Steve Dullaghan and Tracy Spencer. The song was first recorded by The Primitives for their 1988 debut album Lovely. This version of the song was released as a single and a cassette in February 1988 and peaked at number five on United Kingdom singles chart and number three on the U. S. Modern Rock Tracks. In 1994, the song was featured on the Dumb & Dumber movie soundtrack as "Crash (The '95 Mix)". This remix included additional guitars, percussion, organ and backing vocals - none of which were performed by any of The Primitives. Several cover versions are actually based on the '95 Mix and not the original. The song was also later featured in the 2004 film Surviving Christmas and the 2007 film Mr. Bean's Holiday. In 2011, the song was used in the international trailer for Disney/Pixar's Cars 2. The song is also featured in two video games: 2009's Lego Rock Band and 2011's Burnout Crash!.

Here you go
Way too fast
Don't slow down
Gonna crash
You should watch
Watch your step
Don't lookout
Gonna break your neck

So shut shut your mouth
'Cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough enough of you
You know to last a lifetime through

So what do you want of me
Got no words of sympathy
And if I go around with you
You know that I'll get messed up too with you
With you

Nana nana na nana nana naaaaa
Nana nana na nana nana naaaaa

Here you go
Way too fast
Don't slowdown
Gonna crash
You don't know
What's been going down
You've been running
Allover town

So shut shut your mouth
'Cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough enough of you
You know to last a lifetime through

So what do you want of me
Got no cure for misery
And if I go about with you
You know that I'll get messed up too with you
With you

Nana nana na nana nana naaaa
Nana nana na nana nana naaaa
