"I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" is a song by English rock band Arctic Monkeys. The song was released through Domino Records as the band's first single from their debut studio album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006). It debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart on 23 October 2005, and remains one of the band's best known songs.
Arctic Monkeys performed the track at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics. The song was ranked at number 7 on NME's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
The video is a live recording of the band playing the song in a studio with a small audience watching with both the video and audio taken live. The video was shot using three Ikegami 3-tube colour television cameras from the 1980s to give it a more aged effect. American band The Strokes had previously made a similar music video for their single "Last Nite"; Arctic Monkeys are known to be fans of The Strokes.
On 23 February 2006, the track won Best Track at the 2006 NME Awards - one of three awards won by Arctic Monkeys.
One of the B-sides, "Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick", was nominated for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in the 2007 Grammy Awards.
In October 2011, NME placed it at number 11 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". They later said it was the 7th-greatest song of all time on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
