Wikipedia article
"'Don't Mug Yourself'" is a song by English rapper and producer Mike Skinner under the music project the Streets. It was released in October 2002 as the fourth and final single from their debut studio album, 'Original Pirate Material'. It reached number 21 in the UK Singles Chart.
Background and writing
Skinner told 'NME' how the song was created: "I left it really late the night before I was supposed to be cutting it, I still hadnt recorded it," he said. "I had to get away from it because my head was really clouded. So I went out to watch a film (Monsoon Wedding) and Calvin came along with a bottle of rum. We drank the bottle in the cinema, then went to a bar and ended up getting really, really smashed. We got back to my house and Calvin heard the instrumental and he was like 'I want to be on this tune'. Hes not a singer, hes just my mate."
