"Senses Working Overtime" is a single by XTC released in 1982. It is at once the apogee of their early-eighties British popularity as well as their last gasp of mainstream success in their homeland. While it hit the Top Ten and helped English Settlement reach #5 on the album charts, it would also be their last Top 40 entry for a decade.
It has subsequently been covered by both Spacehog on the XTC tribute album A Testimonial Dinner: The Songs of XTC and by Mandy Moore on Coverage.
"Senses Working Overtime" was the second official single released from Moore's fourth studio album Coverage. It was only released in the United States as a digital single and is a live version from the Sessions@AOL performance. Although Moore performed this song live on Sessions@AOL, the video was not used to promote the song. The video is available on Moore's DVD The Best of Mandy Moore.
