"Outstanding" is a song originally performed by the Gap Band and written by member Raymond Calhoun.

It is one of their signature songs and biggest hits, reaching the number one spot on the U.S. R&B Singles Chart in February 1983.

[3] In 1999, footballer Andy Cole signed to WEA/Warner Music and released his version of "Outstanding" with added rap verses.

[4] In late 2024, a highlight reel of Kevin Garnett playing for the Brooklyn Nets during the 2013-14 NBA Season set to this song surfaced online.

The combination of Garnett's highlights and this song has been used on social media to describe anything or anyone (particularly athletes) that is past their prime.
