"Outtathaway" is the Vines at full tilt, a snarling blast off their debut album Highly Evolved from 2002, written by singer and guitarist Craig Nicholls. It went out as the album's third single, and in Australia a radio edit on Engine Room Music/EMI that November climbed to number 38, the highest any Vines single ever reached at home. Rob Schnapf produced and mixed it, with David Olliffe on drums and Roger Joseph Manning Jr. on keyboards, and it tears along like a fuse already lit.
David LaChapelle's video turned it into a riot: a club packed with a debauched crowd diving off balconies, Nicholls lurching around the mic hacking at his guitar, and backstage chaos in wrecked dressing rooms. Hollywood came calling too, putting it in Bruce Almighty in 2003, though it never made the soundtrack album.
