"Like Humans Do" is the fourth track from David Byrne's Look into the Eyeball and was also released as a single in 2001.

Most notably, the radio edit version of the song (which omits the line referring to cannabis) was selected by Microsoft[1] as the sample music for Windows XP to demonstrate the new Windows Media Player,[2] though it was only included in early releases of the operating system.

It was also included as a sample track on the Rio Karma media player.

In the latter film, he explains that the song is about trying to love human beings despite their failings, by taking a "Martian's perspective" on humanity and trying to accept them for what they are.

The song was written by David Byrne and arranged by Thom Bell, with string and horn contracting by Sandra Park.
