"Homosapien" is a song by Buzzcocks lead singer Pete Shelley. It was the first single from the album of the same title, released in 1981.
The single was a big hit in Australia and Canada, reaching the Top 10 in both territories. Although it failed to crossover to singles charts, it was a popular dance track in clubs across Europe and the United States and reached number 14 on the Billboard Club Play Singles chart.
The song was banned by the BBC for its "explicit reference to gay sex" with the lyrics "homo superior / in my interior".
