"Gratitude" is the 4th track on the album Check Your Head by American hip hop group the Beastie Boys, released on April 21, 1992. In this song the bass guitar uses a distortion pedal.
The live video to this song is an apparent homage to Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii.
The actual video to this song was recorded in Rotorua in New Zealand.
The video was featured on Beavis and Butthead, who gave the song a positive review.
After touring with the Beastie Boys as their opening act, the Rollins Band often interweaved their own version of "Gratitude" (with new lyrics improvised by Henry Rollins) into their live set during their 1992 tour.
Post hardcore/punk band Refused covered this song on their Demos Collection.
