Description

The Dandy Warhols single Bohemian Like You was released as the second single from the band’s third studio album, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia, in August 2000. Upon its original release, it failed to reach the Top 40 in the UK Albums Chart, peaking at No. 42, even after a yearlong tour. After featuring in a popular Vodafone advertisement, it was re-released in 2001 and peaked at No. 5. Since then the song has been featured in several movies, including The Replacements, Summer Catch, Igby Goes Down, Clockstoppers, Flushed Away, Little Nicky, Foolproof, Delirious, and Man of the Year. Among the television series it has been featured on are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Numb3rs, Six Feet Under, Daria, Fresh Meat (TV series), and Chuck. A very obvious variation of the song is used as the opening theme song for the American version of the game show Cash Cab. The song was also featured in season 7 of Dancing with the Stars for Cody Linley and Julianne Hough’s tango performance. For many years it has been the theme music for the BBC Radio phone-in show 6-0-6. It has also been featured in the PlayStation game Test Drive Le Mans in 2000. The song was the subject of a minor controversy in 2011 when British conservative politician Theresa May played the song as she walked from a conference speech. It was initially speculated that the track was “Rocks” by Primal Scream, who posted a statement on their website condemning her “inappropriate” use of their song, calling her a “legalised bully” and “the enemy”. After discovering the track was his, Dandy Warhols frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor posted an angry tirade on the band’s official website, writing: “Why don’t these assholes have right-wing bands make them some right-wing music for their right-wing jerkoff politics? Oh, because right-wing people aren’t creative, visionary, or any fun to be around.” Another highlight on this single is toned down cover version of Ac/dc’s megahit Hells Bells
