"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.
