Interesting facts and trivia about Helicopter. By Songfacts®.

It has been speculated that this song is about US president George W. Bush because of the lyrics "Just like his dad, the same mistakes" and "Are you hoping for a miracle?" but these claims have been denied by the band on multiple occasions.

The word "Helicopter" is not used once in the entirety of the song.

Steve Aoki, the founder of Dim Mak records, released Bloc Party's remix of Helicopter titled "Helicopter (Weird Science Remix feat. Peaches)" on his dance mix CD Pillow Face and His Airplane Chronicles. It was then released onto Bloc Party's "Helicopter."
