About DNA Featuring Suzanne Vega

In 1990, two secretive British record producers remixed "Tom's Diner" without Suzanne Vega's permission, grafting her vocals onto a dance beat from Soul II Soul, and turning her simple ad-libbed outro — "Doo doo doo doo, doo da-doo doo" — into the song's driving hook. They took the name "DNA" and released their work on a limited basis for distribution to clubs as "Oh Suzanne", by "DNA featuring Suzanne Vega". Vega's record company of the time, A&M, decided to buy the single and release it itself rather than taking DNA to court for copyright infringement after consultation with Vega, who liked the interpretation, and DNA, which conducted the whole deal through intermediaries in order to hide their true identities. The remix became a much larger hit than Vega had with the song originally, peaking at #2 on the UK singles chart and #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and became one of a handful of tracks to chart in the top 10 of both the Modern Rock Tracks (#7) and Billboard R&B Tracks (#10) charts.
