"Black Wax" is a single released by Glaswegian Indie rock band Dananananaykroyd. It is the second single released from their debut album Hey Everyone! and the first to be accompanied by a music video. The budget music video features the band performing the song in a small practise room with a wolf and girl. It was filmed in the basement of "333", a nightclub in Shoreditch, London.
The CD single was released on Best Before Records on 23rd March 2009. On the single version of the song (also used for the music video) the word "fucking" in the line "take her fucking back" is edited to sound like a skipped record. The b-side was a non-album track called No Wage.
The song's lyrics, written by vocalists John Baillie Jnr and Calum Gunn are about a dream John had about the thrill of having sex on a bus made of drums (with another musician, but he won't say who) in an underground world in Paris, and trying to conserve the feeling by sealing it in a wax lined tin.
Following the release of Hey Everyone, Black Wax was given away for free by iTunes as part of their Single of the Week campaign.
In a review by NME Black Wax was named as one of the "must hear" tracks from Hey Everyone!.
The song is featured on FIFA 10.
