"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.[1] 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[2] and on the band's compilation albums.[3] [4] [5]

The Jam Scraper version was originally slated to appear on Dubnobasswithmyheadman, but was replaced by the original.[6]

In an interview with Melody Maker Karl Hyde explained how he created the song's stream of consciousness lyrics:
