"Phat Planet"
Song

"Phat Planet" is the second track from the 1999 album Rhythm and Stealth, the second studio album of English electronica duo Leftfield. It is based around an insistent, two-note bassline, and the heavily-distorted vocal of "phat planet", spoken by either Daley or Barnes. It is one of Leftfield's most recognisable tracks, although it was never released as a single.

An early version of "Phat Planet" was used in the iconic Surfer advert for Guinness. The music track in the advert, simply the bassline, eventually evolved into "Phat Planet".

The song was also used as the theme tune to the Transformers series Beast Machines.

The song has also been used in the Doctor Who Confidential episode for Doctor Who episode "The End of Time: Part 2".

The song is included on the third disc in the 2010 Sony Music/Musicmix/Universal Music TV/EMI TV compilation album Epic. To be more specific, it is featured at track 14.

An edited version can be found on the Guinness 250th Anniversary: the TV Ads album at track 12.

A Brief version was found in the UK Version of Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares. Season 3 Episode 1 (Oscars)
