Track Description
Available in:
"Rabbit in Your Headlights" is a song by British electronic duo UNKLE. It was released as the lead single from their debut album Psyence Fiction (1998). The song features vocals from British musician and Radiohead member Thom Yorke. The song was written by Yorke and UNKLE member Josh Davis and produced by UNKLE, the track heavily utilizes samples from other songs. The track takes its title from a quote from the thriller film Jacob's Ladder (1990); dialogue from the film is also one of many samples on the song.
Musically, "Rabbit in Your Headlights" combines Yorke's moody vocals and an instrumental containing a variety of samples from sources ranging from Dutch band Supersister, over Satie to the film Contact (1997).
The song's accompanying music video, directed by Jonathan Glazer and starring actor Denis Lavant, was widely acclaimed for its direction and cinematography, and premiered in November 1998. The critically acclaimed video won the MVPA's Best International Video of the Year Award in 1999.
The video uses a technique which Glazer would later use for the "A Song for the Lovers" video, being shot in real-time and allowing the diegetic sounds produced by objects and characters to be audible above the music. It differs from that video in that the music itself is non-diegetic.
