"City Song", also written "Citysong", was the lead single from Natural Ingredients, Luscious Jackson's first full album, in 1994, and it rolls along with a cool, unhurried strut. Jill Cunniff and Gabby Glaser share the vocals and both play bass on it, Kate Schellenbach is on drums, and the two singers produced it with Tony Mangurian, who also engineered with Rich July and mixed it with Todd Ray. Under it all runs a sample of Gladys Knight & the Pips' "On and On".
In some markets it came out as a double single with "Deep Shag", Tamra Davis directed the video, and in January 1995 the band took it to Saturday Night Live.
