"Sweet Disorder" is a song by the New Zealand band Strawpeople, released in 1995 through Epic Records as the final single from their third album Broadcast. Featuring singer Leza Corban, it was written by Strawpeople members Mark Tierney and Paul Casserly alongside record producer Anthony Ioasa.[1]
The song, recorded at Auckland's Wireless Studios, contains a sample of Richard Nixon's telephone call to the Apollo 11 astronauts.[1][2] It was reasonably successful in New Zealand, reaching No. 27 in the country's singles charts, and was awarded the Silver Scroll Award at the 1995 New Zealand Music Awards. "Sweet Disorder" was also nominated for Single of the Year, but lost to OMC's "How Bizarre."[3]
A music video was filmed for the song featuring Corban singing in the streets of Hong Kong.[2] The version of Sweet Disorder featured in the video is around thirty seconds shorter than the album version.[2][4]
