Official video for Suede's \"Animal Nitrate\". Suede had received widespread media coverage in the year leading up to the release of the debut album in March 1993. \"Animal Nitrate\", released one month before the album was the third in a triptych of singles following on from the successful first two singles, \"The Drowners\" and \"Metal Mickey\". The title of the song is a reference to the inhalant drug amyl nitrite, although singer Brett Anderson has said it has more to do with other drugs like ecstasy and cocaine. The idea of the song came about when Anderson went through a period where, he says: \"drugs were taking the place of people.\"
\"Animal Nitrate\" is the third single by Suede, released on Nude Records in 1993 and later included on the band's debut album Suede. It charted at number seven on the UK Singles Chart, making it the highest-charting single from the album.
