From the same album in my library:

Crash - The Primitives (1988)

you KNOW this song! you SO know it!

here you go way too fast

don't slow down you're gonna crash

you should watch - watch your stay here

don't look out you're gonna break your neck

Good nom. Best of luck with it; I nominated it once before (a long time ago) and I seem to recall it going down like a Cumberland sausage at a barmitzvah.(And I recall your good self being sniffily dismissive... ;) )

Incidentally, line#3 is "Watch, watch your step..." :P

When I nominated "Crash" (SF Top Ten #39, in late '06), it received a Grand Total of 9 pts, since I was the only person that voted for it.

In private, when I expressed dismay at this poor turnout for such a slice of classy new-wave indie-pop genius, your response was something along the lines of "Eh? What? Oh...the blonde one?" Your Ten that week included such delights as The Cranberries ( }:| ) , Enya ( :smirk: ) , Travis..., but no sign of The Primitives. :shades:

Before becoming a proper pop band (with chart hits and all), The Primitives had been a fuzzy and amateurish "post-Mary Chain" hybrid of The Ramones and The Shangri-las. They shot into the indie-public's consciousness when Morrissey was photographed for the NME wearing a Primitives T-shirt. The rest, as they say, is history.

1. Stop holding TT#39 against me, you :neener:

2. That Enya song has nostalgic value for me even though her voice makes me think of dewy fields and prancing unicorns :hippie: (partial imagery credit to a couple of articles I read in Mad magazine)

3. Under certain circumstances I'd probably vote for the Cranberries again, even if I'm not much of a fan of them :P

4. Yeah, that sounds like what my response must've been. I thought roughly the same thing when I saw the video again - "wow... so blonde" :crazy:
