"Suburbia" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. It was remixed and released as the fourth single from the duo's debut studio album, Please (1986), and became the band's second UK top-10 entry, peaking at number 8.[3] "Suburbia" has drawn comparisons to the theme from ALF, which coincidentally premiered the day that the song was released.[4] The (uncredited) saxophone part on this track was played by Gary Barnacle.
