"Hyper Music" and "Feeling Good" are songs performed by the English rock band Muse and are featured on their second album, "Origin of Symmetry". The two songs were later released as a double A-sided single from that album on November 19 2001 (see 2001 in British music).

The song "Hyper Music" was inspired by the book "Hyperspace", written by Michio Kaku.Fact|date=February 2007 "Feeling Good" is a cover of a song originally from a 1965 musical (The Roar of the Greasepaint—the Smell of the Crowd).

Both songs were later featured on the "Hullabaloo Live DVD". Additionally, on the accompanying CD for that soundtrack, a slowed down and less heavy version of "Hyper Music" closes the first disc. The song, called "Hyper Chrondriac Music", uses essentially the same lyrics with different music backing it and was originally released as a B-side on the single for "Bliss". An acoustic version of the B-side "Shine", "Shine Acoustic", is also featured on the "Hullabaloo Soundtrack".

In the build-up to publicising the single around Europe, Muse performed live on Spain's 'Radio 3' and 'TVE'. Matt Bellamy replaced the lyrics to the second verse of Feeling Good with "Fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking little fucking, fucking little fucking, fucking fucker, yeah" [http://youtube.com/watch?v=vKHEhPyyAlo] . Muse have been banned from Radio 3 ever since. Early on before the show, they were strictly told by 'Radio 3' that their songs shouldn't contain any swearing.Fact|date=February 2007

Feeling Good has just recently been placed in the top five worst covers of all time. [ [http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,23906832-5012980,00.html Celine Dion's AC/DC song voted worst cover of all time | The Courier-Mail ] ]
