The correct title of this article is Neighborhood #2 (Laïka). The substitution or omission of a # sign is because of technical restrictions.

"Neighborhood #2 (Laïka)" is the second single by Canadian rock band Arcade Fire from their debut album Funeral.

Released on 28 March 2005, the single reached #30 on the UK Singles Chart, and was released on the Rough Trade Records record label. The single also contains the song "My Buddy" by Alvino Rey, the grandfather of Arcade Fire members Win and William Butler.

The title of the single probably refers to the Russian dog Laika, the first animal in space.
