"Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage?" is a song by the English DJ and techno music producer Blawan (Jamie Roberts) on 25 August 2012 as the lead single on the four track EP His He She & She on Hinge Finger records. It became an underground dance music hit, regarded for its heavy 4/4 bass-drum beat, minimalist instrumentation[2] and its prominent vocal line sampled from a 1996 Fugees song.
Before the track became critically and commercially successful, Roberts was a respected but low-key producer slowly building an underground reputation. He worried about being type-cast when the track became a hit, and largely withdrew from live performances and recording over the following three years.
The song was covered in 2015 by the Irish post-punk group Gilla Band.
