"DOA" was the second song released as a single off the Foo Fighters' fifth album In Your Honor. It has been released on two different discs. The demo version of this song was released on the 2005 EP, "Five Songs And A Cover". DOA refers to the medical term "dead on arrival".
One of the b-sides, 'Skin and Bones', was performed on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on 1 September. It became a staple of the Foo Fighters' acoustic tour with Bob Dylan, and became the namesake for the bands first ever live album, "Skin and Bones".

[edit] Video
The video for the single shows the band in a 360° revolving room and on a train where objects act as if the train is rotating. The band said that the video made them feel ill and they felt like wetting themselves. It was directed by Michael Palmieri.
- When Dave Grohl comes by as a waiter, and takes the rest of the band's orders, he mouths out the words, I love you. There is a subtitle showing how the character really feels that says, I don't deserve this.
- This is the second music video where Dave Grohl has dressed up as a bus boy. He was the flight attendant/bus boy in the video for Learn to Fly.
Another music video was also aired on MTV2 on the program Video Mods that featured Darth Maul, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, and General Grievous (where it appears that they are actually performing) featuring clips from the game Starwars Battlefront 2
