Galvanize

"Galvanize" is the first single from The Chemical Brothers' 2005 album Push the Button. It was released a week before the album's release and peaked at #3 in the UK charts (see 2005 in music). It won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in February 2006. That same month, an Anheuser-Busch television commercial for Budweiser Select featured "Galvanize". The song also started appearing in NBC's Sunday Night Football coverage in 2008. The track features a distinct Moroccan string sample from Najat Aatabou's song Just Tell Me The Truth. The track also features rapping by Q-Tip (formerly of A Tribe Called Quest). According to the Galvanize Songfacts, he recorded his vocals with a golden microphone.
