Group - Nancy Boy

"Nancy Boy" is a song by Placebo, released as the third single from their self-titled album. It was released on January 20th, 1997 and it became their breakthrough single, reaching number 4 in the UK charts and making them known to mainstream audiences. As with their first single "Come Home", the single/radio edit (aka the 'Sex mix') is a rerecorded version, noticeably different from the album version. It was later released on the compilation album Once More With Feeling. In the video for Nancy Boy, the band are performing the song in front of a very multi-coloured background. The drummer's face is cut out of the whole video. The figures in the video have great distortion. There are also strange objects in the video, such as a fist with legs, and a bathtub full of legs.
