"36 Degrees" is a song by British alternative rock band Placebo, released as the second single from their eponymous debut album.

Some state "36 Degrees" refers to the average human body temperature being generally accepted as 37 °C (99 °F), and that the narrator is dying, or losing the will to live after being dumped by a partner.

[4] The music video, directed by Chris Cunningham, was shot primarily in a scuba diving pool and shows band members performing the song underwater.

Some scenes were shot in a swamp-like area and show Brian Molko singing the lyrics with just his head above the surface of the water.

The song was part of the band's repertoire prior to the release of their debut album and it was a regular until the Sleeping with Ghosts tour.
