"Real Gone Kid" is a song by Scottish pop rock band Deacon Blue.

Intrigued by McKee's "wild" behaviour on stage, Ross wrote the song about her, making the term "real-gone" refer to craziness.

Various mixes of the song appeared in adverts for the Boots pharmacy chain in the UK from 2015 to 2017.

[19] In the 2022 film Aftersun, the song can be heard faintly playing through Calum's headphones as he relaxes beside the pool.
