The fifth single from LCD Soundsystem was released on 21 February 2005. It reached number one on the UK dance chart and 29 on the UK singles chart, and it was nominated for the 2006 Grammy for best dance recording. The video pays tongue-in-cheek homage to Spike Jonze's and Michel Gondry's videos for Daft Punk's Da Funk and Around the World.
Murphy plays vocals, synthesizers, bass, guitar, drum machine and cowbell, and Eric Broucek adds handclaps. Andy Wallace and The DFA mixed it. The single had a radio edit, and its B-side was the band's Radio 1 live session of Harry Nilsson's Jump into the Fire. The song has been used in the video games FIFA 06, SSX On Tour, Burnout: Revenge and Forza Motorsport 2, and in the films The Limits of Control, Project X and The Heat. Soft Play covered it for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.
