Red Cars Are After Me is a song made and produced by Roy Wood from the year 1987.[1] It was released in Starting Up and was the first song in the album.[2] Wood plays every instrument in the song and album overall.[3] It was also included in Look Thru' The Eyes of Roy Wood, a compilation album that consists of songs from 1974 to 1987.[4]
The song starts in a factory-sounding beat, which is then followed by saxophones and guitars, and the paranoiac narrator singing about red cars following him.[5] Both the front and back cover of the Starting Up album contain a red car, possibly a Jaguar XJS, which is a nod to the song.
