"Rush" is a song by Big Audio Dynamite II from their album The Globe. It was a number 1 hit on Modern Rock Tracks chart for 4 weeks.
In the UK, "Rush" was released as the B-side to the 1991 re-release of "Should I Stay or Should I Go". The A-side was immensely popular due to its inclsuion in a Levi Strauss & Co. advert. The single reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. The sleeve art for the 7" single displayed the Clash on the front, and BAD II on the rear. The record label displays "Should I Stay or Should I Go" as side 'A', and "Rush" as side 'AA'. The release was effectively a 'Double A-side' release.
The "New York City Club Version" remix of "Rush" was featured in the 1993 Mike Myers' film So I Married an Axe Murderer.
The song samples several other songs including the keyboard component of The Who's song "Baba O'Riley", the opening samples the opening of the Deep Purple song "Child in Time" and a line from the The Sugar Hill Gang's song Rapper's Delight where Big Bank Hank raps 'a time to laugh and a time to cry'.
