"Disco Lies" is the first single in Europe released by electronica artist Moby from his 2008 album Last Night. The song was released as a single onto the US iTunes store on January 21, 2008. The song was featured in the 2008 monster/horror film Cloverfield during a dance party scene at the protagonist's house. The female vocals are provided by Shayna Steele^[1].

Music video

The music video for the song premiered on February 14, 2008. The video follows the story of a baby chick who at a young age escapes from a chicken farm, witnessing the slaughtering of his friends and kin. The video then shows ten years later when the chicken has grown up and is out for vengeance for the killing of his friends. Dressed as a pimp, the chicken enters into an "MFC" fast food restaurant (a reference to the real life KFC), and seeks out the owner of the franchise, a man dressed in white with a beard and cowboy hat (a clear reference of KFC's Colonel Sanders). After disposing of the owner's two bodyguards, the chicken chases the owner until he eventually corners him in the slaughterhouse his friends were killed in and beheads the owner with the same knife used to kill his kin. The video is likely the product of Moby's veganism and strong animal rights activism, as it makes a strong statement against the meat industry.

There are two versions of the video, one censored and the other uncensored. Firstly, the chicken slaugher scene is cut in the censored version. Secondly, in the scene where the chicken finally kills the Colonel, his death is indicated by the blood splattering over the MFC's poster in the uncensored version. The censored version just shows the poster. Finally, at the last scene, the colonel's leg meat is on the dish is shown in the uncensored, whilst colonel's hand meat in the bucket (as if it was part of the fried chicken) is shown for the censored video.
