"Crash" is a song written by The Primitives band members Paul Court, Steve Dullaghan and Tracy Tracy. The song was first recorded by The Primitives for their 1988 debut album Lovely (see 1988 in music). This version of the song was released as a single and a cassette in 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.

[edit] Cover versions
[edit] Chloe's version
"Crash" was later covered by Australian singer/songwriter Chloe from her debut album Beyond Coming. The song debuted in the Australian singles chart at number ten on September 12, 2005. It spent a total of five weeks in the singles chart and ending its run at number ninety-seven. It also peaked at number two on the Australasian singles chart.
The music video was directed by Mark Barold, and filmed at a sushi train restaurant. It sees Chloe as a customer. Instead of sushi going around the conveyor belt there are objects like a drummer, some dancers, a fish and a pair of sumo wrestlers.
[edit] Lovebites' version
UK music group Lovebites released the song as a b-side to "He's Fit", their second single, released on 27 February 2006
[edit] Matt Willis' version
The song was most recently covered by British singer-songwriter Matt Willis and was released on April 16, 2007. This cover was the first single from his forthcoming second album. Matt recorded his version of the song for the film Mr. Bean's Holiday. Mr. Bean also appears in the video for this song along with Matt Willis.
