Dark Sneak Love Action is the fourth studio album by Tom Tom Club, released in 1992. It includes the band's cover version of the Hot Chocolate track, "You Sexy Thing."
The album's final track, "Daddy Come Home," contains a sample of "Measure Up," a track from the band's 1983 album Close to the Bone.
Critical reception The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "experimental" and "funky." Trouser Press deemed it a "thoroughly delightful and diverse multi-cultural exposition on easygoing, sexy pop rhythmotics."
Billboard called lead single "Sunshine and Ectasy" a "kinetic pop/dance gem."
