You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Sing'''" (often stylized as "SING") is [[My Chemical Romance]]'s fourth track and third [[Single (music)|single]] from their fourth studio album, ''[[Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys]]''. The official single artwork was posted on the band's website in October 2010.<ref>((Cite web |date=October 29, 2010 |title=Artwork for upcoming single "Sing" |url=http://www.mychemicalromance.com/blog/jeff/new-cover-artwork-sing |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120406122204/http://www.mychemicalromance.com/blog/jeff/new-cover-artwork-sing |archive-date=April 6, 2012 |access-date=October 29, 2010 |publisher=[[My Chemical Romance]]))</ref> "Sing" marks the first time a song of the band has reached [[Adult contemporary music|adult contemporary]] stations; it began airplay through [[Chicago]] radio station [[WCFS-FM]] by March 2011.

The song was the second-best selling rock song of 2011 in the UK, ahead of [[Paramore]]'s "[[Monster (Paramore song)|Monster]]" and behind [[Foo Fighters]]' "[[Rope (song)|Rope]]".

==Release==
The song debuted on [[BBC Radio 1]] and subsequently on the band's [[MySpace]] and several other radio stations on November 3, 2010. The song was released on [[iTunes]] the same day.<ref name="mychemicalromance1">[http://www.mychemicalromance.com/blog/jeff/hear-mcrs-sing-right-now Hear MCR's "Sing'" Right Now and See the Trailer!] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101107005336/http://www.mychemicalromance.com/blog/jeff/hear-mcrs-sing-right-now |date=November 7, 2010 )). My Chemical Romance. Retrieved on November 5, 2010.</ref> The song has been described as "poppy" and with a "surprising different sound than previous MCR tracks" by Wendy Rollins of Philadelphia's [[WRFF|Radio 104.5]]. Dan Martin from ''[[NME]]'' reviewed the album and said the following of the song: "Starting off synthy, slinky and just a little bit funky, 'Sing' then erupts into another euphoric call to mass doing-stuff-together as waves of filthy bass cascade around Gerard as he sings, "You've got to be what tomorrow needs" as he dodges elephant-stomp drums."<ref>[http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=140&p=9147&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 My Chemical Romance, 'Danger Days...' – First Listen], February 16, 2011</ref> Trash Hits said of the song: "This is a slower, smouldering effort which jangles in a [[Depeche Mode]] style while [[Gerard Way]] murmurs his way through."<ref>[http://www.thrashhits.com/2010/10/my-chemical-romance-return-with-danger-days-the-true-lives-of-the-fabulous-killjoys-we-heard-it-and-watched-it/ My Chemical Romance return with Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

==Music video==
The music video premiered on [[MTV.com]] and [[VH1.com]] and was directed by [[Gerard Way]] and [[P. R. Brown|Paul Brown]]. Picking up after the events of the "[[Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)]]" music video, "Sing" opens with My Chemical Romance as their alter-egos (The Fabulous Killjoys) driving down a freeway tunnel on their [[Pontiac Firebird]] with brief "television advertisement" clips from Better Living Industries (BL/ind), running over a BL/ind security guard and a draculoid at a toll booth/checkpoint. The band arrives in the album's [[dystopia]] known as Battery City, stopping in front of BL/ind headquarters.

Upon discovery of the Killjoys' arrival, BL/ind places their guards on stand-by all 
around the headquarters. The Killjoys quickly shoot their way into the building, arriving in the main security center and rescue The Girl (Grace Jeanette), aka Missile Kid, who was previously kidnapped in "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)". During this time, Korse ([[Grant Morrison]]) is activated by BL/ind headquarters' head of security and accompanied by reinforcement draculoids and guards to stop the Killjoys. A gunfight between the Killjoys and Korse's minions follows in BL/ind's lobby. At one point, Party Poison ([[Gerard Way]]) kills and pulls off the mask of one of the draculoids, discovering him to be Agent Cherri Cola ([[Jimmy Urine]]), an ally of the Killjoys (who was captured by BL/ind while trying to infiltrate their headquarters, and turned into a draculoid).

This causes Party Poison to hesitate in the fight and be grabbed by Korse who grasps him by the neck and tragically shoots him beneath his chin.  With Party Poison dead, the remaining Killjoys continue their escape. Shortly after Party Poison's death, Kobra Kid ([[Mikey Way]]) manages to wound Korse in the knee before getting shot himself by the draculoids and is killed. At the lobby door, Fun Ghoul ([[Frank Iero]]), Jet-Star ([[Ray Toro]]) and Missile Kid decide to retreat; however, after running outside, Fun Ghoul closes the building door,bravely leaving himself inside to give his allies a better chance of escaping before getting shot twice in the back. Outside BL/ind headquarters, Jet-Star is shot, bleeding out on the hood of the Trans Am. Before the draculoids and BL/ind guards can get to The Girl, she is rescued by pirate radio DJ Dr. Death Defying and his crew, including Show Pony<ref>[https://twitter.com/gerardway/status/25422715068 Twitter / gerardway: @maximumaldwin and people]. Twitter.com (September 24, 2010). Retrieved on February 5, 2011.</ref> ([[Ricky Rebel]]) and DJ Hot Chimp (Kristan Morrison). They all escape in Dr. Death Defying's van, leaving behind their dead comrades whose bodies are bagged by BL/ind.

As of January 2024, the song has 43 million views on [[YouTube]].
