'Cartrouble' is a song by Adam and the Ants, released as a single in March 1980 on Do It Records. It peaked at number 33 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] Though usually stylised as one word, the title has also appeared as two separate words (for example, on the compilation albumAntics in the Forbidden Zone).
'Cartrouble (Parts 1 & 2)'[edit]
'Cartrouble' differs from 'Cartrouble (Parts 1 & 2)' from Adam and the Ants' debut album Dirk Wears White Sox, also on Do It Records. 'Cartrouble' is essentially a re-arranged and re-recorded version of the “…(Part 2)' alone. It has a heavier but commercially polished sound, making it far more radio-friendly than the original.
'Cartrouble (Parts 1 & 2)' features Matthew Ashman on guitar, Dave Barbarossa on drums and Andy Warren on bass guitar. A remix of this version appeared on the 12-inch edition of The Antmusic EP in early 1982. This replaced the original on the 1995 CD release of Dirk Wears White Sox. The 2004 reissue of the same album includes all three versions, with the original returning as track 1.
'Cartrouble' was re-recorded with a different line-up of Ants in order to fulfill a contractual obligation. Adam's ever changing line-up of Ants on the single include his future songwriting partner Marco Pirroni on guitar, bass guitar and backing vocals, and Terry 1 & 2 on drums. Terry 1 & 2 is a pseudonym for Jon Moss who went on to superstardom years later as a member of Culture Club. The song also marks the first time Adam and Pirroni worked together.[2]
Music videos of 'Cartrouble Part 2' and another album track, 'Tabletalk' were filmed in November 1979 as audition footage for Malcolm McLaren. These were directed by Stephanie Gluck and Clive Richardson and filmed in Richardson's back garden.
'Kick!'[edit]
This alternative line-up of Ants is also featured on the B-side 'Kick!', with a double-track recording of Moss resulting one of the first two-drummer Burundi beat recordings for which the band became famous. The lyrics[3] are completely different from the version of 'Kick' that appears on the Antmusic EP Do It releases in 1982.[4]

The single version was used in place of 'Cartrouble (Parts 1 & 2)' on the CBSEpic Records version of Dirk Wears White Sox that was released in America in 1983. 'Kick!' was also added, while 'Day I Met God' and 'Catholic Day' were dropped.[5]
