Wikipedia:
I See Red was the lead single from the Split Enz studio album Frenzy. It was their second single to achieve a top 20 chart position, following My Mistake.
The song was recorded in England. Tim Finn said, “That’s a one-off thing we did at Startling Studios which is Ringo Starr’s studio – it used to be John Lennon’s place. The engineer out there got to know us and liked us and gave us some free time when the studio wasn’t being used.”

Lyrics:
When my baby’s walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk round free
I see red, I see red, I see red
