Turn This Thing Around is a 2006 single by El Presidente released on February 6.

When originally featured on their debut album, it featured Alan Thorton on drums, but was re-recorded in late 2005 with the official El Presidente line-up. The new version has a more Japanese sound to it; the video was also shot in Japan, which is fast becoming a second home to the band.

When released on February 6 2006, two live versions from The Xfm scotlan opening gig, and Edinburgh liquid rooms were made available through the official El Presidente website. On the Monday of its release it was at No.30 in the midweek chart, but slipped down each day and eventually stayed at no.39 on Sunday.
