"Congratulations" is a song by the American rock band MGMT, released as the fourth and final single and the title track from their second studio album Congratulations (2010) on November 26, 2010. The single was released as a limited edition 7" vinyl record with a special 20-page illustrated booklet. On November 2, 2010, Record Store Day announced the limited edition 7" of the single as one of their Black Friday exclusives, containing the Erol Alkan rework of the song. "Congratulations" was released to radio on September 28, 2010.
A music video for the song, directed by Tom Kuntz, was released on August 25, 2010.
"Some ET, a dash of Star Wars and a fair dollop of Chris Cunningham and Leftfield's Afrika Shox... it's the new, more gentle weird of MGMT, courtesy of Tom Kuntz, making a rare visit to music video world. Tom eschews his much-loved sidesplitting style in favour of poignant strangeness - in a similar vein to Andreas Nilsson's latest Yeasayer - and highly impressive production values. Sonny Gerasimonwicz, the man behind Spike Jonze's Wild Things, designed the alien buzzard creature and Legacy FX brought it to life." (David Knight, Promonews)
