"Fitzpleasure" is a song by British alternative indie pop quartet alt-J from their debut studio album, An Awesome Wave.
A music video for the song, composed of black and white clips, was directed by Emile Sornin and published to YouTube on November 5, 2012.[1]
After seeing the band perform live, Jim James, lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter for My Morning Jacket said, "...It kind of gave me this good, foreboding feeling. It was like seeing one of the great bands very young."[2] This encouraged James to remix the song, and his 'Apple C' remix was included on the deluxe edition of An Awesome Wave.
The song was used by American recording artist Miley Cyrus during her Bangerz Tour, in a bondage-themed video interlude titled Tongue Tied.[3] This later inspired the band to sample a line from her song "4x4" on "Hunger of the Pine", the lead single from their second album This Is All Yours.[4]
