"From Paris to Berlin" is the title of a song by Infernal. It was released in 2005 as the third single from their album, From Paris to Berlin.

It is known as their signature song as this was the first that charted in many countries throughout Europe and Australia in 2005 and 2006. It has so far been their biggest hit internationally, as well as in the band's home country of Denmark. Ahead of the World Cup 2006, the song had been re-recorded for English fans with lyrics celebrating the English football squad with the title "From London to Berlin". However, the song was withdrawn from radio airplay and TV following England's knockout from the World Cup. Also, a video of Radio 1 DJ Colin Murray dancing to this song, was published on the BBC Radio One website. The single was the UK's sixth best selling single of the year.[1] Sing Chew, a female singer from Singapore, recorded a cover of this song. The cover was called "From Taipei to Beijing" and her debut album was released in the same name in November 2006[2]
