"Going Out of My Head/Michael Jackson" is a song by British big beat musician Fatboy Slim. It was released as the third and final single from his debut studio album Better Living Through Chemistry on 21 April 1997. The song contains prominent samples from Yvonne Elliman's "I Can't Explain" and Led Zeppelin's "The Crunge". It was featured in the films The Jackal and Like Mike.

Produced by Fatboy Slim for his debut studio album Better Living Through Chemistry (1996), "Going Out of My Head" features guitar riff samples from American singer Yvonne Elliman's cover version of "I Can't Explain", originally performed by English rock band The Who. It also samples drums from "The Crunge" by English rock band Led Zeppelin. A big beat song, "Going Out of My Head" incorporates musical elements such as shuffle drum beats and "Space Age sound effects" into its instrumentation. Primarily an instrumental track, the song's vocals consist solely of a repeating sample of a voice singing "Going out of my head." Journalist Yoshi Kato, writing for the book 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die, describes it as a "groovy dance-rock hybrid". Jon Dolan of City Pages remarked that the song "transmogrif[ies] '64 mod into '97 postmod" with its looping of the "I Can't Explain" riff around a "space-funk tune". Michael Jackson features samples of Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A, Michael Jackson by Negativland and What Have We Got by Sham 69.
