"Sex on the Streets" is a 1995 song by British electronic music duo Pizzaman, consisting of John Reid and Norman Cook, and was released as the second single from their only album, Pizzamania. It samples a part of a 1974 sermon by American evangelist Jack van Impe and peaked at number-one on both the UK Dance Singles Chart and the UK Club Chart. In 2011, it was released in the Netherlands in a new mix as "Sex on the Streets 2011".

Critical reception[]

Daisy & Havoc from British magazine Music Week's RM Dance Update rated the song four out of five, adding, "Is there a buzz about it? Oh yes, and you'd expect there to be after the stupendous 'Trippin On Sunshine'? But is it any good? Erm...well it's loads better than most other records flying around at the moment. It's full of excitement, sexual references, anti-establishment feelings, enormous never-fail party pianos, big breaks – it's full of everything and will be very successful on the nation's dancefloors and will appear on lots of mix CDs by popular party DJs."[1] Another editor, James Hamilton described it as a "Norman Cook's terrific rattling and whistling percussive Latin-type leaper".[2]
