"Day in Day Out", is a single from the UK rock band Feeder, and was the first single to be taken from their debut top 10 album Yesterday Went Too Soon.
It is one of very few Feeder songs that contains profanity; "Taste the bullshit on a plate/We just piss our lives away...", the promo CD for radio play and its music video, blurred the words out making them hard to recognise. The lyrics refer to an employee doing the same menial daily tasks, and wanting to get away from it all. Grant once said that the distored vocal emulates that of a tannoy in a supermarket. The Dandy Warhols 2003 hit "We Used To Be Friends", duplicates the bassline from the track. Feeder are mentioned in the songs credits as a result.
The track along with its video appeared at #70 on VH2's "Indie 500" rundown of 2004,[1] which was a list of the channels top 500 indie tracks of all time. It finished ahead of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" by a relatively long mile within the top 100.
It peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart, but despite reaching the top 40 (the cut-off point for tracks on the main album of The Singles), at the bands request it was not included on the main CD their singles album, although appears on the DVD version packaged with limited quantities of the release.
