"Something in the Air" is the debut single by British rock band Thunderclap Newman, written by Speedy Keen who also provided lead vocals.

[4] Townshend recruited jazz pianist Andy "Thunderclap" Newman (a friend from art college),[5] and 15-year-old guitarist Jimmy McCulloch, who later played lead guitar in Paul McCartney and Wings.

[8] Originally titled "Revolution" but later renamed to avoid confusion with the Beatles' 1968 song of the same name, "Something in the Air" captured post-flower power rebellion, combining McCulloch's acoustic and electric guitars, Keen's drumming and falsetto vocals, and Newman's piano solo.

[citation needed] "Something in the Air" by Thunderclap Newman appeared on the soundtracks of several films, such as The Magic Christian (1969), which helped the single reach No.

The song also appeared in a TV advert for the Austin Mini in the early 1990s, featuring 1960s fashion model Twiggy.

A cover of "Something in the Air" was recorded by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and included on their Greatest Hits album, released in 1993.
