Uprising (song)

"Uprising" is a song by the English rock band Muse, released on 4 August 2009 as the lead single from their fifth studio album, The Resistance (2009).

[6] Uncut said "Uprising" combines a "Goldfrapp-style" schaffel beat, the riff from the 1980 Blondie song "Call Me" and "leftist sloganeering".

[9] It features a giant teddy bear destroying buildings, which Rolling Stone interpreted as a homage to the 1984 film Ghostbusters.

[citation needed] In July 2009, Muse performed "Uprising" for the first time at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

[14] "Uprising" reached the top 10 in Belgium (Wallonia), Denmark, Finland, Norway, Scotland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

[17] It was ranked number three on an updated version of the list in 2023, after the success of All Time Low's "Monsters" and Lovelytheband's "Broken" in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
