Darn it, you're right. The sad thing is, I thought I'd checked its release date, too.

I'll try again.

The Pretenders - "Talk of the Town" (1981. ha!)
(except it's not that upbeat :/)

The Primitives - "Crash" (Official Video) (1988)


The Primitives | Crash (Official Video) - YouTube


And for an excellent example of what song production must do, compare the fixed-up version of "Crash" above with this live performance below:

The Primitives - "Crash" (live)
I...I was disappointed by Tracy's singing. The vocals sounded so...so...wimpy and unenergetic. And not even quite in tune!


The Primitives - Crash (Live) - YouTube

^ On second thought, maybe these aren't rock. I don't know. Shoot. (Checking.) Ack! The Primitives are indie pop. Sorry!! E for Effort, Eh?
