"Single-Bilingual" is a song by the British synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. It was released as the third single of their 1996's album Bilingual. The single peaked at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart.
On the album the song is named "Single", but was renamed "Single-Bilingual" because Everything but the Girl also had a song named "Single" which had been released the previous May. The album version cross-fades with the previous track, "Discoteca", and the music video contains an interpolation of the aforementioned song at the end.
The video is one of the more comic in the Pet Shop Boys cannon, featuring Tennant as a glib businessman travelling Europe and trying to pick up a woman in a bar. Towards the end, the visuals feature military aircraft suggesting that he is in actual fact an arms trader.
