"Street Spirit (Fade Out)" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released on their second studio album, The Bends (1995). It was released as a single on 22 January 1996.
Radiohead considered "Street Spirit" a breakthrough in their songwriting. It was accompanied by a music video by Jonathan Glazer, and it has been covered by acts including Peter Gabriel and the Darkness.
"Street Spirit" reached number five on the UK singles chart, Radiohead's highest position up to that point. The success demonstrated that Radiohead were not one-hit wonders after their previous singles had failed to match the success of their 1992 debut, "Creep".
