"Mansize Rooster" is a song by English rock band Supergrass, released as the second single from their debut album, I Should Coco (1995). It reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for three weeks.[2][3]
Like its predecessor "Caught by the Fuzz", "Mansize Rooster" was originally released in 1994 as a limited-run 7-inch vinyl-only release on Backbeat Records. There were two pressings of 500 copies on Backbeat; the first pressing was on lime green vinyl and the second pressing was on translucent grass-green vinyl. Both sides of the original Backbeat 7" feature the original demo versions and were subsequently re-recorded when the band signed to EMI/Parlophone Records later in 1994.[4]
It was played as Supergrass' first ever live television performance on The Word in 1995.[5] The song is used in the film Casper: A Spirited Beginning and is included in its soundtrack.
