1. The Toy Dolls are a British punk rock band. They formed in 1979, playing their first ever gig at Millview Social Club, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, UK, on 20 October 1979. After a couple of gigs, vocalist Pete Zulu left to form his own band. He was replaced by Paul "Hud" Hudson, who himself left after a single gig, leaving Toy Dolls as a trio with guitarist Michael "Olga" Algar to assume vocal duties. This was just the start of the revolving door of drummers and bassists that would characterize the Toy Dolls line-up over the years.
They quickly built up a local fan base and were initially grouped with the Oi! scene that was emerging at the time, although many would say that despite having the singalong choruses that are typical of Oi!, they are better classified as pop punk. Another reason they are associated with Oi! is that they were championed by Garry Bushell who was heavily involved with Oi! bands such as The Angelic Upstarts. In 1980 a local businessman financed their debut single, "Tommy Kowey's Car" with "She Goes to Finos" on the B-side. The single quickly sold out its initial 500 pressing but the band couldn't afford to press any more, making the single a collector's item.
In 1983, they released their debut album Dig That Groove Baby, by which time with Bushell's help they were beginning to attract national press attention, and in 1984 they burst into the charts with their punk rendition of "Nellie the Elephant", a classic children's song, which reached #4 in the UK charts and stayed in the Top 100 for no less than 12 weeks.
The Toy Dolls have since changed their lineup and record labels, establishing and cultivating fan bases in Europe, America and Japan, continuing to release new singles and albums.

No Particular Place To Go
The Toy Dolls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
MY BABY BESIDE ME AT THE WHEEL
I STOLE A KISS AT THE TURN OF A MILE
MY CURIOSITY RUNNIN' WILD
WITH NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GO.
Ridin' along in a Mini Metro
She said to me she loves me so, LOVES ME SO, LOVES ME SO
She smiled at me and looked so sweet
I thought I was in for a treat, IN FOR A TREAT, IN FOR A TREAT
My happy face began to glow ow ow
With no particular, no particular, no particular place to go
[Solo]
[Chorus:]
There's no particular place to go, there's no particular place to go
There's no particular, no particular, no particular place to go
SAME + To go there's no particular place to go, there's no particular place
Particular place, Particular place, Particular, ticular place
[Repeat Twice Chorus]
TEMPERATURE'S RISIN' REALLY QUICK, really quick, really quick
THEN SHE SAYS SHE GETS CAR SICK, car sick oh no!
SHE SAID HER LOVE FOR ME WAS TRUE, truely true, truely true
SHE JUMPED IN THE BACK AND BEGAN TO SPEW,
RIDIN' ALONG & FEELING LOW OW OW OW OW OW OW
WITH NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GO.
[Chorus]
The song "No Particular Place To Go" by The Toy Dolls revolves around the story of the singer and his girlfriend riding in a car with no particular destination. They enjoy each other's company, cruising down the roads, finding happiness in the moments spent together. The singer admits to stealing a kiss from his girlfriend, and his curiosity brings him pleasure. The couple is in high spirits and happily passing the time listening to the radio. However, their joyride comes to a halt when his girlfriend reveals her car sickness, and the singer is left feeling low with no particular place to go.
The lyrics speak of a simple yet powerful message that embraces the idea of free-spiritedness and living life without having to follow a strict itinerary. The couple is aimlessly wandering with only each other's company, and that is enough to bring them happiness in that moment. The absence of a particular place to go is symbolic of the beauty of living in the moment and taking pleasure in the simple things in life.
The song's catchy tune and the upbeat rhythm of the guitar tie in brilliantly with the lyrics' theme, giving listeners a sense of the joyride that the couple is on.
