"Sing" is the lead single from Indie band Travis's third studio album, The Invisible Band. It was released in the United Kingdom on May 28, 2001, following an extensive five-week promotional campaign. The song reached a peak position of number three on the UK Singles Chart. Sing was a worldwide success, reaching top ten in several countries in Europe and Latin America.
Music video
The music video features the band visiting a large country house for dinner and getting into a massive food fight with the residents. The video premiered in on April 20, 2001, on Top of the Pops. When the single reached number three, the band were invited on to Top Of The Pops, where they re-enacted the food fight for a live performance. This performance is sometimes used instead of the main video.
B-Sides
The single's B-sides include a cover of Queen's "Killer Queen" which includes guest vocalist Jason Falkner formerly of the band Jellyfish, and band member Andy Dunlop's writing and vocal debut on "You Don't Know What I'm Like".
