"Rhythm Bandits" is a song by Danish band Junior Senior. It was released as the second single from their debut album, D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat, in the United Kingdom and Australia in 2003 but failed to match the success of previous single "Move Your Feet", although did have a following at the time of its release.
Although the song did reach the charts, peaking at number 22 in the UK and number 47 in Australia, it was the last charting song for Junior Senior, who became unknown in the UK thereafter, causing their album Hey Hey My My Yo Yo to not be released in the UK, a fact which angered their fanbase.
The single mix of "Rhythm Bandits" is quite different from the album version (which is quite beat-based) and is arranged into more of a surf rock style.
It is included in the soundtrack to FIFA Football 2004.
