Elastica - Car Song

A 90s classic!!!!!!

[@allixpeeke]

We’re saved! Thank you, Elastica!

[@carafeeley]

I absolutely adore this song. The rhythms are so great, my parents had this CD and played it in the car when I was a kid and now as an adult I still both love the song and feel nostalgic towards it.

[@NBlue809]

"In every little Honda, there may lurk a Peter Fonda - ooh!" 😂 Very funny, Justine.

[@JGProductions6581]

Now that’s what I call British Humor. Amirite???

[@NBlue809]

I couldn't define it, but it probably involves innuendo or a sense of ridiculousness/ absurdity. Preferably mixed up together.

[@benedettobruno1669]

17 May 2019. Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Elastica and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily. And love, admiration and adoration.

Yep, her boyfriend at the time Damon Albarn probably wrote this for her and he gave her the credit. It has Blur written all over it.

[@georgeskanoute3814]

@@danee9647 I doubt that's what actually happened... but it does sound a bit like Stereotypes, which came out the same year.

"Every shining bonnet, makes me think of my back on it"..wow what a line(for those uninitiated in Brit-speak, the bonnet is the hood of the car)

[@benedettobruno1669]

It cracks me up every single time I hear it.

I thought Bonnet was a type of car... well.. the picture in mymind was the same anyway 🤣

It's a Citroen BX

[@super_vampire_princess]

LOVE THIS BAND.

[@GonsalvoDeCordova]

The video is great, and much more family-friendly than the lyrical imagery here ...

[@MokkaMatti]

🤔 As if Elastica ever intentionally set out to be "family friendly"... maybe friendly for creating families.😂

[@simonedeluca3160]

Ma che bella canzone!!! La sto scoprendo bene solo oggi!!❤❤

[@robotaholic]

I love Braitan so much ❤ I love most of their whole album this is on.

[@JarekMichalskiBass]

That CX

[@scottjhnsn]

costumes were provided by designer anna sui back when she was still pretty good. i still remember when they accompanied her show for that MTV special "fashionably loud" in 96. those were the days....this album was my soundtrack for the vast majority of those two years.

[@cillamoke]

I haven’t heard this song for over 25 years and I feel it still ❤

[@jamielawrence4749]

God I loved that late 90's, 60's-space thing that happened so briefly.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

I never realized how many videos Elastica had back in the day. All good too. My mtv days were pretty much over by 1990 tho. Lol

12 abril 2023 y es la primera vez que veo este video. Y eso que el disco de Elastica lo tengo quemado desde hace mas de 20 años sin parar de escucharlo. eh..... amo este video hasta sus ultimas consecuencias!! lo tiene absolutamente todo!!!! muerdo de amor! nunca mas se hara un video con estos efectos especiales (ni con un grupo como Elastica evidentemente, porque nadie estara nunca a la altura)

[@abbyrosenbaum]

i haven’t seen this video in ages! thanks youtube algorithm!

[@sifakid]

@BadIdeaSociety nope, I'm familiar with the street it was filmed. Definitely Tokyo. 0:19 View of Kabukicho in Shinjuku 0:31-0:35 Shibuya near Hachiko exit. 0:55 Neon signs of Jumbo pachinko and Yodobashi Camera electronic stores located only on west exit from Shinjuku station. (and Yodobashi Camera neon sign still there until now) 1:28-1:31 Area near east exit Shinjuku station 1:32-1:49 Underground tunnel near east exit Shinjuku station. 1:50-1:57 Shinjuku sanchome

[Verse 1] You could call me a car lover 'Cause I love it in a motor And the way it feels To ride around on new wheels I hardly know you But I think I'm going to Let's go siesta In your Ford Fiesta [Chorus] Here we go again I'm riding in your car Let me count to ten 'Cause it's gone way too far Up my street to nowhere You know what detours are Here we go again And it's gone way too far [Verse 2] Sometimes I just can't function My heart's spaghetti junction Every shining bonnet Makes me think of my back on it I just can't escape the feeling That I'd rather be free-wheeling In every little Honda There may lurk a Peter Fonda [Chorus] Here we go again I'm riding in your car Let me count to ten 'Cause it's gone way too far Up my street to nowhere You know what detours are Here we go again And it's gone way too far

[@ManWalksDogs]

Bit disappointing to read it's free-wheeling not three-wheeling, though the next rhyming couplet never made sense being about Honda not Reliant.

[@brandonavery4157]

Has anyone asked, or knows, why the fourth member didn't appear in this music video??

[@gustabartok]

I would say there's no doubt the BLUR harmonies influence here.. did Damon Albarn something to do with some part of this song? you bet he show some chromatic descendent chords to Justine maybe watching TV on Sunday.. it´s definitely Blur chords progression (Stereotypes.. and others), just saying! I love this song and Elastica´s live sound as well..
