The Primitives are awesome and I feel guilty that I picked their most famous song, but alas, it's a tune that was foundational for me growing up. Most likely I first encountered "Crash" in the film "Dumb and Dumber," a movie with a great soundtrack. It felt exciting to slow this song down a bit and give it a bit more of a folk feel.
