Instinct (song)


"Instinct" is a 1996 song by rock group Crowded House. It was the first single released from the group's greatest hits compilation Recurring Dream in the United Kingdom, and the third and final release in Australia. It was a top 20 hit in New Zealand and the UK, peaking at number 17 and number 12, respectively; in the UK, it became their second-highest peak alongside "Locked Out". In Australia, "Instinct" peaked at number 90 on the ARIA Singles Chart in March 1997, spending two non-consecutive weeks in the top 100.
The band members reportedly hated the music video for the song which featured two female aliens, and a living golden statue, thus it was omitted from the compilation DVD .
