"Go" is a song by American electronica musician Moby, released as the first single from his self-titled album. The single was a success in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Chart.[citation needed]

It samples "Laura Palmer's Theme" from the television series Twin Peaks and the titular vocal from Tones on Tail's song "Go!". The "yeah" vocal which features prominently in the track is actually a sample from soul singer Jocelyn Brown, taken from her 1985 single "Love's Gonna Get You"; this sample remains uncredited.

The song's music video was directed by Ondrej Rudavsky.[1]

14 different remixes of the song were collected and combined into an entire continuous CD as a bonus disc for Moby's album Rare: The Collected B-Sides 1989–1993.

The title of the best known version (Woodtick Mix) is possibly a reference to episode seven of Twin Peaks, when special agent Dale Cooper gets shot three times after folding up his bulletproof vest while chasing a wood tick as revealed in episode eight.[2]

On Moby's 2006 compilation, named Go – The Very Best of Moby, a remix of the song featured on the album. On the UK version, the version from Moby's 1997 compilation "I Like to Score" appears instead.

In 2010, "Go" was ranked number 134 in Pitchfork Media's "Top 200 Tracks of the 1990s" list.[3]
