- Mary's Danish - Don't Crash The Car Tonight.
Official music video for "Don't Crash The Car Tonight" from the album "There Goes The Wondertruck..." (Chameleon Records, 1989)
I was the cinematographer on this clip. The talented Kim Dempster directed. We shot it in one night in LA. Some time later I used the vid in the BG of a bank commercial that I directed. The camera dollied past a conference room where a group of suits were huddled around a TV watching this vid. The band was great. Rock on! MG
Excellent! Thanks for the BTS info!
Cool.
One of my all time fave bands. Saw them in Atlanta in 1990...I wore the album out.
I'm not sure if you recall that androgynous kid in the burgundy hoodie
Where is the video of this song shot in a bar? I remember being in it.
Total 1989 flashback... this used to get played relentlessly on MTV's 120 minutes and "There Goes The Wondertruck" was a fabulous and underrated record from the halcyon days of college rock.
Troubadour in LA in 1991!! Awesome show🩷🩷🩷
I saw them at all of their LA shows and still have my T-shirt from when they opened for X in Ventura in 1990
I used to go to the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, California on a regular basis. One night I showed up and there was a $20 cover charge to get in. The band was Mary's Danish opening for Stan Ridgeway. I had no idea but I paid the cover and went in. I got to see them play in a room that held, maybe 250 people with a dance floor for just the cover! I will never forget how awesome their show was! I had no idea...
BTW it was 1989
MD opening for Stan Ridgway? Holy shit, that’s my idea of a "dream show."
I was at that show!
I was there too. Bought a black Mary’s Danish corduroy hat.
Was that the show where the dance floor was filled with small tables we sat at for Stan Ridgeway? He was solo and played the keyboard sitting down. A girl up front had birthday balloons which he popped with his cigarette.
R.I.P. David King. Gonna miss you, brother.
I’ve really gotta thank my mom and dad for introducing me to this fantastic music. Shame they didn’t get the popularity they deserved
They got ALL the popularity they deserved. Trust me. I was there.
Saw this band at Cal State Northridge. Was standing on the second floor of the Student Union Building and thought I saw a fight breaking out in the crowd. Turns out it was just my first mosh pit. Went downstairs to get some of that. Great times, great memories.
I grew up with my mom playing this disc in the car, I'm so disappointed that they're no longer together.
I met Gretchen & Julie when they opened for Soul Asylum at After The Gold Rush in Tempe, AZ back in '91 or so...excellent people. Excellent band! #iamashantypig
Damn, they were so good.
Saw this band a number of times in the underground clubs in San Diego circa 89 -90 and they were always great! Those were the best days!
My band (Elvis Christ) opened for them at least a couple times in San Diego during those years. You probably suffered through one of our sets at least once or twice (unless you were one of the cool people in the parking lot of the Spirit, skipping the opening bands and waiting for the headliner!)
What a great flashback ❤
What a Rad Band back in the day. Got me thru some hardtimes when I was trying to get sober
Mary's Danish was my first concert. I was 17 and it was in the Roxy theater in Hollywood Los Angeles CA.
Somehow a There Goes the Wondertruck cassette wound up in my van. Never heard of MD before and no idea how it got there. On a long nighttime drive home from Atlanta I popped it in the deck, listened to it, somewhat annoyed but it held my interest. By the time I arrived home five hours later I'd played it through as many times as arriving home allowed. It kept me awake and I bought the rest of their albums. Edgy lyrics, excellent musicianship all around. A totally different JBJ drummer than when he played with Chuck Mangione; this band was so neglected and underrated.
We didn't crash the car but got arrested that hot summer night in '89 while this was wailin' on the radio. GOOD TIMES.
Hear you!
What an incredible song and video.
One of my favorite bands and albums of all time. I love you David King! xoxo
I went to the set to see this recorded :) MD rehearsed at Yo Studio in NoHo, and I owned a little piece of it. Ah, so much fun!
They really should of made it big. Loved them. Still talk about them first concert Salem Or. opened up for Jane's Adiction 1989. Best show I have ever been to.
i saw them open on that tour in cheney stadium washington cool!
entire stadium was a mosh pit. no one had a phone...
One thing which always intrigued me about the Danish was the presence in the band of James Bradley Jr. on drums. Bradley certainly has had an interesting career. I first knew about Bradley when he played in Chuck Mangione's band on the Grammy-winning multi-platinum album "Feels So Good" and on the critically acclaimed "Children of Sanchez" soundtrack album. Then I saw Bradley perform live at a dive bar in East Hollywood playing with an unknown singer/songwriter named Crow Ballinger. Then I came to learn that Bradley was a member of the Danish. Talk about a variety of musical styles and levels of success! I wonder what Bradley is doing these days.
OMG. I completely forgot about this band!! I loved them. I was doing research on Courtney love for a project I'm working on and she mentioned Mary's Danish, and I was like YESSSS I KNOW THAT NAME!!! Always on KROQ!! Good times!
timeless classic
Tell this to myself to this day: don’t crash the car tonight! It doesn’t suit me anymore, yo
Saw them from 2 feet away at The Crazy Horse in Boise, 1991. Still can't believe they all fit on that tiny stage! If I win the lottery I'm putting them back on the map. They deserve to be famous and we deserve to hear more of their amazing music!
BTW, they went on to play as Battery Acid -("Rita" name of the album) when they left their shitty record label. Check it out and get your fix!
That's my favorite line! "Don't crash the car tonight, it doesn't suit you anymore!"
their record label really F---ed em over they should have bigger
Man i saw this band many many many moons ago..Great band live.
Saw for the first time in I think '87. Saw them a couple more times in '89. Shame they didn't have more commercial success.
I think Gretchen is a Real Estate agent in Pasadena now.
loved loved loved them!! Saw Marys Danish at UC Irvine 90/91ish opening act was some band called No Doubt... How dya fancy that!?!
Around that same time I was working in a record store in Virginia and met Gwen and two other core members of No Doubt. They were shocked that we had their "Lemon" indie release in stock , but remember, this place was one of Dave Grohl's favorite stores in his youth.
Wow u lucky fucker!!!
Holy Moly! I saw them at UCI with No Doubt! MD is my fave live band!
Saw them in the Kate Buchanan room at HSU in the late 80s. Killer show
This band was really underrated and did not get the exposure it deserved.
I saw you guys open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Dallas (Dec 89). I remember being as excited to see you as I was them. You did not disappoint! THANKS!
Great song. Have the CD.
Chris Wagner was easily the best bassist of the Late 80's early 90's LA scene
Yeah he was great but Norwood from Fishbone and Flea has something to say about that.
And a hottie!!
For some reason I'm hungry for a danish now...
Hey they where hot in their day. Probably still are. Yummy danish
Love Mary's Danish!
never let a word in edgewise that doesn't cut me down
feeling only as you stumble
can't see the reasons why
baby don't call me don't even drive by
tonight it's over and I'm not sad
it's you who said goodbye
CHORUS
don't turn on the light now darlin
I don't want to see your face
if you can't hear me crying
I'm sure you know the reasons why
let's forget about last night
it can't happen again
Don't crash the car tonight
it doesn't suit you anymore
Thanks for posting! I rehearsed with a band once and this was one tune we played, and thus began my introduction to Mary's Danish.
Billabong surf movie played this to guys shredding. Psyched
Seen them open up for Jane`s addiction I was really High and I thought they should of called the tour Mary Jane`s Danish Addiction...Damn Good times!!
now that i think more, i remember i WON the tickets from WHTG. there were a few bands playing that night, including Darling Buds (who were a more successful band but they weren't nearly as hot live as MD). when MD was playing, some guy kept yelling between songs "crash the caaaar!"....fun night!......FUCK! to be 21 again!.....
What a great band MD are! - sound just like X, yet they pull it off with a great and original riff!
saw them at a frat party at Arizona state in '91. never heard of them before... not bad!
MD was smart rock. Maybe why they never hit the big time? Saw you in LA, somewhere on Sunset I think. Blasted this CD (or cassette?) in my car for a long time. loved it. Thanks. Where R U now?
I saw them once.
Lucky me I was in the studio when this was recorded. Good times
LOVE! Fairfax High School "7" tour. THE BEST. Still have my black wool MD cap from that concert.
Teletunes Denver in the 90's................good times.
seen them couple times early years at Club Babyhead Providence Rhode Island...great band.
This was too far ahead of its time. Back then Nelson and Wilson Philips ruled the charts.
I lived in Mclean, but just for 8 months, I was 15 so about 8 years ago and this was always on that cool station - GEXP? huh?
What a great find!!! Great band... back in the late 80s when I first moved to San Diego, we always make sure and see these girls live. Julie the dark haired singer was such a sweetheart. Thanks whoever took the time to upload this! Cheers to s great old band we'd go out and catch all the time as fresh transplants!
essa musica muito boa ,surf music, saudades
Is assured.
hmmm, never saw this video, but remember the song well from WHTG FM Eatontown New jersey. this song rocks! i was in college. they came to the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, summer of 92' I think? They ROCKED. they were the TIGHTEST, rockinest band i remember seeing! why didn't they get more recognition????
I haven’t heard this song in years
song from j'bay session in the surf movie by billabong : PUMP
The first time I saw them was at UCLA in Bruin plaza and she apologized to her professor for cutting class so that they could play.
i was at that show!
They're not like X, each are all of their own. MD what a package they had. I never understood why they didn't make it futher. Don't get me wrong I like X too, just totally different from Mary's Danish. What talent in one spot!
Saw the danish open for the red hot chili peppers at the bronco bowl in Dallas Texas , mothers milk tour.
Hmmm. Vevo doesn't want them? WTF? Love it!
I still want to know: Is Mary Danish or does danish belong to Mary? Grammactially, written one cannot differentiate. A quick look at Wikipedia only indicates "Named after a line in an old songwriting attempt...," which does not answer the question either. So,
WHAT IS IT? MARY IS DANISH OR THE DANISH BELONGS TO MARY?
I guess that's for the listener and fan of the band to decide (LOL)!
AWESOME!!!!!👏👏👏 Could you please help me find the LA1 CD?! 🤞
Зачет))
Pump billabong surf movie ultimate soundtrack
@RandomBlitz18 lmao, i never hear anyone talk about mr bungle. thx for the memory
2018
Is the blonde guy on guitar lee remick's son?
No, that's actually David King. Matt Colleran (who actually was Lee Remick's son & co-wrote the song with singer Gretchen Seager) left the band before they shot this video.
Great band, saw then live a few times in the late 80s and The 90 s......
