"Ride" was the second single from Winning Days, the Vines' 2004 album, and it's the Australian band in full garage-rock sprint with its foot jammed to the floor. Craig Nicholls wrote it on his own, and Rob Schnapf's production keeps the guitars raw and lets the chorus burst at the seams.

It cracked the top 50 in Australia, Canada and Britain and on America's Modern Rock Tracks chart, and Triple J listeners voted it into their Hottest 100 of 2004 at number 94. Michel Gondry directed the video, which starts with the band playing alone in a hall; when the chorus kicks in, other bands start turning up from every direction to play and sing along with them.
