Survival Car

"Survival Car" is the third single by Fountains of Wayne, from their eponymous debut album. It was released in 1997 and charted in the UK at No. 53 on July 26, 1997.

Backing vocals on "Survival Car" were performed by Dominique Durand of Ivy, a band which also featured the song's co-writer Adam Schlesinger.
