"Black Fingernails, Red Wine" is a song by Australian alternative rock band Eskimo Joe, released in May 2006 as the lead single their third studio album of the same name. The song became their first song to peak inside the ARIA top ten, peaking at number 6.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2006, it won ARIA Award for Single of the Year and made #2 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2006.

At the 2007 West Australian Music Industry Awards, the song won Most Popular Single/EP.[1]

Music videos

Two music videos were made for this song:

  1. Showed the band members in a car, kidnapping people in the middle of the night. At the end of the video, the kidnapped people were revealed to be Eskimo Joe themselves. When Kavyen Temperley was a guest on The Glass House, he offered that this symbolised that Eskimo Joe had changed, and the kidnapped band were the old Eskimo Joe.
  2. A simple performance video, showing the band playing in an old building.

Due to the criminal theme of the first video, it received an MA15+ classification in Australia, restricting it to night-time airplay. The second promo clip was made to enable the song to be played by daytime music shows.
