"Mansize Rooster" is a song by English rock band Supergrass, released as the second single from their debut album, I Should Coco (1995). It reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for three weeks.
Like its predecessor "Caught by the Fuzz", "Mansize Rooster" was originally released in 1994 as a limited-run 7-inch vinyl-only release on Backbeat Records. There were two pressings of 500 copies on Backbeat; the first pressing was on lime green vinyl and the second pressing was on translucent grass-green vinyl. Both sides of the original Backbeat 7" feature the original demo versions and were subsequently re-recorded when the band signed to EMI/Parlophone Records later in 1994.
It was played as Supergrass' first ever live television performance on The Word in 1995. The song is used in the film Casper: A Spirited Beginning and is included in its soundtrack.
