"Sing Information technology Back" is a song written and performed by Irish-English language electronic music duo Moloko (Róisín Spud and Marking Brydon). It first appeared in its original version on Moloko's second album, I Am Not a Doctor (1998); it was released as a single on eight March 1999, reaching number 45 on the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland Singles Nautical chart. The song experienced chart success after it was remixed by DJ Boris Dlugosch, peaking at number 4 in the UK in September 1999. Murphy had started writing the lyrics while clubbing in New York City,^[3] and knew the song was at middle a dance track, but the group wanted to record information technology in a different artistic fashion for its album version.

Together with their tape visitor they had commissioned mixes by Todd Terry (who had turned Everything Simply the Girl's "Missing" into an international club canticle). Moloko were not satisfied with the Terry mix and had to convince their label Echo Records to put out the Dlugosch version instead. The remixed version was somewhen featured on over 100 compilations, and was afterward added on Moloko's 3rd album, Things to Make and Exercise, subsequently hitting the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart. In 1999 it reached number one on the US dance chart. As a form of barter for the remix, Moloko singer Róisín White potato later co-wrote and appeared on Dlugosch's "Never Enough" single, starring in the video for that release as well.

On 'Sing It Back', she'due south bandage equally Eartha Kitt, all unquenchable lust, sly, coquettish snarls, a luxuriant, lingering sigh. What a shame it'south wasted on some of the limpest, radio-friendly bag tedium always put on wax."^[7]
