“Re-Wired” by Kasabian

"Re-Wired" was the second single from Velociraptor!, Kasabian's fourth album, in 2011, and it's Sergio Pizzorno's song top to bottom: he wrote the music and the words, produced it with Dan the Automator and mixed it with him and Marc Senasac. It went out digitally first, then on 20 November 2011 as a limited run of 10-inch vinyl, just 1,000 copies that pre-orders cleared out in 3 days.

Football fans heard plenty of it: Sky Sports ran part of it at half time during Premier League matches in the 2011/2012 season, under a quick round-up of the action before the ads. The video is pure larks, the band driving one car after another with a black 4x4 on their tail until they're caught and handed a suitcase that glows gold when opened, plus a detour on a five-seater bike with Noel Fielding dressed as Vlad the Impaler.
