The vocal was the grouping's lead single from Tubthumper, their major-label debut.[three] It was released on xi August 1997.[4] [5] Vocalist Dunstan Bruce retrospectively observed that, before the group wrote it, they "were in a mess: we had become directionless and disparate". He credited "Tubthumping" with changing that, telling The Guardian, "It'due south not our most political or best song, but it brought us back together. The vocal is about us – every bit a form and as a band. The beauty of it was nosotros had no idea how large it would exist."[6]

You can spend three times the rails's running fourth dimension plucking out the seemingly disparate sounds and assorted genre references—starting with the forceful alterna-stone guitar scratches, the hip-hop-derived beats, and the swing-style horns. Belongings it all together are the kind of rousing, gang-like chants that you hear at football games. Sounds odd, eh? Well, you won't shortly forget this jam after first listen. And you'll likely be hearing it on pop and modernistic rock stations for months to come. If this precious stone is indicative of the tone of the human action's forthcoming album, it should be quite a head trip."[12] A reviewer from Daily Record described it as an "irritating catchy drinking canticle from the anarchist band".[13] It was besides called a "raucous anthem".[14] Pan-European magazine Music & Media said, "Afterwards a decade and a one-half spent as indie heroes this collective is likely to break into the mainstream in a big fashion".[15] Ian Hyland of the Lord's day Mirror rated it viii out of ten, writing, "Sing a terrace chant, mention lager and the rugby boys will be making boozed-up human pyramids on the trip the light fantastic toe floor in seconds. And y'all'll have a monster hit – good piece of work, chum."[16] Troy J. Augusto from Variety declared it as a "drinking-and-dancing anthem" and "the quirk hit of the flavor".[17]
