Basement Jaxx picked "Take Me Back to Your House" as the second single off Crazy Itch Radio, their fourth album, and XL put it out in 2006; it finds the English duo at their most gleefully unhinged. The Independent heard an uptempo banjo house "stomper" and called it "deliriously catchy", and Robert Christgau counted it among his favorite tracks on the record.
Martina Sorbara takes the vocal and shares the writing credit with Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe. Vula Malinga adds extra vocals, Cassie Watson gets a spoken part and the London Session Orchestra saws away on strings, with the Jaxx producing and mixing it alongside Jason Boshoff. Dougal Wilson's video surrounds Sorbara with high-stepping Cossacks and dancing bears, which is about the right level of madness.
