"George" is a single by New Zealand rock band Headless Chickens released in 1994. Charting as a double A-side with the Eskimos in Egypt Mix of their 1991 single "Cruise Control",[1] it reached number one in their native New Zealand for four weeks in 1994 and 1995 and received a Gold certification from RIANZ (now Recorded Music NZ). Despite its success, it did not reach the top 50 on either year-end chart.[2][3] In 1997 the song was released in Australia, where it reached number 67 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
