"Cruise Control" is a song by New Zealand band Headless Chickens. Written by members Chris Matthews and Michael Lawry, the track was released as the second single from the band's second studio album, Body Blow (1991), in 1991 and reached number six on the New Zealand Singles Chart. Three years later, the song was remixed and re-released as the "Eskimos in Egypt" mix. This version of the song peaked at number 26 in Australia and topped the New Zealand chart as a double A-side with "George".
An accompanying video was made for the remix, featuring Headless Chickens riding in a Citroën DS car at night. Both versions of the track were produced by Rex Visible and included on the band's 2002 compilation album, ChickensHits.[1] The song and its videos have received numerous accolades, including being named the 76th-greatest New Zealand song of all time by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA).
