UFO (song)
"UFO" is the fifth single by Australian dance group Sneaky Sound System, taken from their self-titled debut album Sneaky Sound System. "UFO" has been Sneaky Sound System's most successful song to date, peaking at #11 on the ARIA Singles Chart. Due to the success of the single and perhaps Sneaky Sound System's numerous live performances, the album has reached a new peak of #5 on the ARIA Albums Chart. The tune (especially in the chorus) borrows heavily from the 1981 song Girls on Film by Duran Duran and shares similarities to the Cure's "The Walk". The song was certified Platinum in Australia, with sales of 70,000.

UK / 2008 Mix
"UFO" is the second UK single by Australian dance group Sneaky Sound System, taken from their self-titled UK compilation album Sneaky Sound System. In 2008 Sneaky Sound System began promo around the UK, UFO has been used for backing tracks on Channel 4 adverts and programs particularly T4 and 4:Music, as well as by the BBC during roundups of the Winter Olympics 2010. In October 2008 the UFO video was top 10 requested on some of the Music Channels.
The song showed more popularity than "Pictures" in the UK, but not as much as it did in Australia. It debuted at 52, just under Rihanna's new song Rehab. The next week it fell to 99 and the next week it dropped out of the top 100, spending 2 weeks in the chart.
