"Galvanize" is a song by British electronic duo The Chemical Brothers and the first single released from their 2005 album Push the Button. It was released a week before the album's release and peaked at No. 3 in the UK charts (see 2005 in music). It won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in February 2006.[1] 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 main hook of the song is in an unusual 6/4 time signature. The track also features rapping by Q-Tip (formerly of A Tribe Called Quest). In part of the song, a sample from their early single "Leave Home" plays.
In Australia, the song was ranked No. 65 on triple j's Hottest 100 of 2004.[2]
It was the highest charting single in their native United Kingdom by The Chemical Brothers since "Hey Boy Hey Girl". Both singles reached No. 3. But in Spain it reached No. 1 and it held the top spot for two weeks.
Galvanise was formerly used as walk-on music by darts player Kevin Painter.
