"Turn This Thing Around" is a single by El Presidente released on 6 February 2006.

When originally featured on their debut album, it featured Alan Thorton on drums, but was re-recorded in late 2005 with the official El Presidente line-up. The new version has a more Japanese sound to it, and the video was also shot in Japan.

When released, two live versions from the Xfm Scotland opening gig, and Edinburgh liquid rooms were made available through the official El Presidente website. On the Monday of its release, it was at number 30 in the midweek chart, but slipped down each day and fell to number 39 by Sunday.
