"Bigtime" was also used by Sky1 in an advert for a new episode of "Futurama".  The song "Mother One Track Mind" was also used in Gran Turismo 4 as part of the soundtrack. <SEP> "Galang" is a song by British musician M.I.A. from her debut album "Arular".  It was released on Showbiz Records in 2003 as her first single, which pressed 500 vinyl copies, gaining immediate international recognition via radio airplay, fashion shows, club rotations and internet filesharing.  "Galang" was re-released on 1 November 2004 via XL Recordings as the second single from the album released by the label and was released for a third time as "Galang '05" on 11 October 2005 by the label and in the US by Interscope Records.  It is written by Maya "M.I.A." Arulpragasam, Justine Frischmann, Ross Orton and Steve Mackey.  It first appeared on M.I.A.'s six song demo tape in 2003, her official MySpace account on 9 June 2004 and was later reworked slightly by Orton and Mackey who received production credit for the song.  "Galang" was the second song M.I.A. wrote on her Roland MC-505, intending for the piece to be performed by Frischmann's band Elastica.  Inspired by her experiences and observations of life in London, M.I.A. wrote the song to encourage her friends in the band to continue to make music.  However, after cowriting the song, Frischmann convinced M.I.A. to record "Galang" herself, complimenting the piece's lyrical narrative and music direction. <SEP> "My Immortal" is a song by American rock band Evanescence from their debut studio album "Fallen" (2003).
