"Mercury Poisoning" is a song written by rock musician Graham Parker and performed by Graham Parker and the Rumour. Inspired by Parker's frustration with his record company, Mercury Records, the song was released as a promotional single by Parker's new label, Arista Records, in February 1979. Because of the song's controversial nature, it was pulled from its planned release as the B-side to Parker's 1979 single, "Protection." "Mercury Poisoning" has since become one of Parker's most famous songs. It has since seen praise from critics for its angry and sarcastic lyrics and appeared on multiple compilation and live albums.
