"'Mmm...Skyscraper I Love You'" is a 1993 single by Underworld. It did not make the charts.
The song's title comes from an art compilation by Underworld's design company, Tomato.Bookstore, http://www.flipkart.com/mmm-skyscraper-love-you-booth/1873968582-z0x3fngcnc. "Mmm... Skyscraper I Love You" book. (March 14, 2005) The title included an ellipsis between the first two words when it appeared on the 1993 single, but it is then written without an ellipsis on the 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman' album and on the band's compilation albums.
The Jam Scraper version was originally slated to appear on 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman', but was replaced by the original.Darktrain, http://www.borndirty.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9374. Discussion of "Jam Scraper"'s inclusion on Dubnobasswithmyheadman. (March 14, 2005)
