"Who the Hell Are You" was Australian house outfit Madison Avenue's encore after "Don't Call Me Baby", a 2000 single on EMI written by Cheyne Coates and Andy Van and taken from The Polyester Embassy, the only studio album the band ever released. It struts on borrowed parts from Vernon Burch's 1979 track "Get Up", all glitter-ball bounce and attitude, with a title that lands like a velvet-rope brush-off.

Home turf went for it hard: it entered the ARIA singles chart at number one and held the spot for two weeks, then made the UK top 10. By March 2001 it had also topped the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart, and Mark Hartley's video picked up the 2000 ARIA award for Best Video.
