Wikipedia article
"'Look at Yourself'" is a song by British progressive rock/hard rock band Uriah Heep, originally released in 1971 on their third studio album, 'Look at Yourself', and the same month as a single, the first by the band in the United Kingdom. It was written and sung by Ken Hensley.
According to Hensley, the reason that he took over the lead vocals on the recording was that the band's frontman David Byron had throat problems during the recording session. However, Byron sang lead vocals on the song during Uriah Heep's live performances.
"Look at Yourself" was later included on the band's first live album, 'Uriah Heep Live', and on their first compilation album, 'The Best of Uriah Heep'.
The song was used in the first episode of the 2006 BBC series 'Life on Mars'.
