A track packed with energetic sound and a powerful message.

Released as a digital single in April 2023, this song was written specifically for Daihatsu TAFT’s TV commercial “Endless Tough.” While richly reflecting THE BAWDIES’ trademark elements of 1950s–60s rhythm & blues and rock ’n’ roll, it also fuses in a modern pop sensibility.

NO WAYTHE BAWDIES

It’s a lively, four-on-the-floor track packed with choruses, but the only thing hopping isn’t just the music.

True to its title, the music video is full of mischievous “You’ve got to be kidding me!”-style pranks that make it stand out.

It starts with the members appearing all battered, and the video cleverly unravels how they ended up that way, making for a very entertaining MV.
