"Wasted Little DJs" is the debut single by Dundee indie band The View, taken from the album Hats Off to the Buskers. The principal B-side on all formats of the single was Posh Boys. Before its physical release on August 8, 2006, the single had reached #73 on downloads only, before climbing up to #15 the following week. It spent two more weeks in the UK top 40 at #28 and #40 respectively before dropping out altogether.

The single, however, went straight to #1 in Scotland the same week it peaked at #15 in the whole of the UK.

The song was placed at number 9 in the NME top 50 singles of the year 2006.[1] and went on to later win the public vote for Best Track at the NME Awards 2007.[2]

On the artwork for the single the title was given as "Wasted Little DJ's" which is grammatically incorrect. However, by the time the album was released, the mistaken apostrophe had been dropped and the track is listed as "Wasted Little DJs" by the label.[3]
