"Party Fears Two" is a song by Scottish new wave band the Associates, written by Billy Mackenzie and Alan Rankine.

"[3] In an interview with Smash Hits magazine, Billy Mackenzie explained the origin of the song title, "My wee brother was at a party watching two girls who wanted to come in.

They were smashing windows and attempting to kick the door in with their stiletto heels, which he admired, so he christened them the Party Fears Two and I pinched the title from him.

"Party Fears Two" has been covered by several artists, including the Divine Comedy, Heaven 17, King Creosote and Dan Bryk.

[citation needed] Between May 1982 and July 1993 the track was also the theme music for BBC Radio 4's long-running comedy satire programme Week Ending.
