"DOA" is the second song released as a single from 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". The song reached #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart for two non-consecutive weeks.

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, and became the namesake for the bands first ever live album, "Skin and Bones". In 2007, a marching band arrangement by Michael Brown became available from Hal Leonard Corporation.

• • "I Feel Free" was originally recorded by Cream. The Foo Fighters cover features Taylor Hawkins on vocals and Dave Grohl on drums.
  • "Skin And Bones" was recorded backstage at 2005 T-In-The-Park festival.

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 in the place of the real band members. The video also featured clips from the video game Star Wars: Battlefront II.
