"Battle Flag" (or "Battleflag") is a 1997 song by American funk rock band Pigeonhed which appeared on their 1997 album The Full Sentence. In 1998, the song was remixed by the British big beat group Lo Fidelity Allstars for the Pigeonhed remix album Flash Bulb Emergency Overflow Cavalcade of Remixes.
The "Battleflag" remix, credited to "Lo Fidelity Allstars (featuring Pigeonhed)" was issued as a single in November 1998 and appeared on Lo Fidelity Allstars' album How To Operate With A Blown Mind. Although the song was a minor hit in the United Kingdom, reaching #36 on the UK Singles Chart, it was a major hit on American alternative rock radio and reached #6 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The song was featured in NBC's prime-time medical drama ER, most notably in the Season 6 episode, "Be Still My Heart", in which Drs. Lucy Knight (Kellie Martin) and John Carter (Noah Wylie) are stabbed by schizophrenic patient Paul Sobriki (David Krumholtz). The song was used again in the Season 8 episode, "Beyond Repair", in which Carter meets Sobriki again. Other uses include season three episode eleven of Showtime's drama Queer as Folk, as well as a season one episode of The WB's Smallville, a season three episode of CBS's Person of Interest, and a season one episode of HBO's The Sopranos. It also featured in the films Coyote Ugly, Forces of Nature, Mean Machine and Very Bad Things, and the trailers for Charlie's Angels, The 51st State, Drillbit Taylor, and Duke Nukem Forever. The song was also used on the 2000 WWF (now WWE) video tape Eve of Destruction.
