"No Cars Go" is a song by Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire. It is the fourth single released from the band's second full-length album, Neon Bible. The release date was due to be July 23, 2007[1] but the release was delayed to August 6, 2007.

Overview

The song title is taken from the solo project of Arcade Fire member Brendan Reed.[2]

The song first appeared on the band's self-released debut EP Arcade Fire and was re-recorded for Neon Bible.

Some pressings of the single list the B-side as "Surf City Eastern Block" and some list it as "Surf City Eastern Bloc".

"No Cars Go" was used by Fox Sports in a post-halftime montage that aired during its coverage of Super Bowl XLII, and possibly for similar segments in other NFL on Fox broadcasts throughout the 2007 season. Following the Super Bowl broadcast, the band said it would consider legal action against Fox, claiming that the network did not seek permission to use the song.[3]

The song was featured in Eric Bana's 2009 documentary film Love The Beast.[citation needed]

The song is featured in Fully Flared, a skateboarding video released by Lakai Limited Footwear in 2007.

In the UK, the song was also featured in Top Gear's video montage/preview at the beginning of Series Ten,[4] as well as in ITV's coverage of the UEFA Champions League in 2007/8. It has also featured on series 6 of Wheeler Dealers, a motoring programme on the Discovery Channel (UK TV channel).

The song was jokingly referred to by Win Butler as "Yes Boats Yes" during their gig at the Hackney Empire on July 7, 2010.[5]

The song is used in Italy as main theme of the soccer's sunday tv-show called "Quelli Che Il Calcio", in 2011.
