"Would You...?" is a song by British electronic/jazz band Touch and Go. It was released on 26 October 1998 as a single.
The song reached the number 3 spot on the UK Singles Chart. It became a hit in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe where the ensemble toured extensively.

The track has also been sampled for San Pellegrino, Carlsberg, and Nokia advertisements.[1]
Content
The track is marked by its distinctive sampling of a woman's voice saying "I've noticed you around / I find you very attractive / Would you go to bed with me?". The lyrics – with almost identical wording – were originally used as part of a psychological study conducted in 1978.[2][original research?]
