"Devils Ball" is a song by the Swiss duo Double, released in 1987 as the lead single from their second studio album Dou3le.

The song featured a guest appearance from Herb Alpert, who played trumpet on the track,[2] and an electric violin solo by Michał Urbaniak.

"[5] In a 2013 interview with the Kickin' it Old School blog, Maloo explained his reaction to the duo's inability to gain further hit singles after "The Captain of Her Heart": "It was more surprising rather than frustrating at the time.

The album explored the impact Double had had on him following the unexpected death of Haug in 2004, which prompted Maloo to revisit the past twenty years.

[11] A Canadian 12" vinyl was released in promotional form only, and featured the full album version of the track on both sides.

[13] An award-winning music video was filmed to promote the single, which featured Maloo and Haug alongside Alpert on trumpet, and performers from the Swiss mime group "Mummenschanz".

"[6] During 1987, the band also appeared on the German TV show Peters Popshow, where they performed the song, along with "Gliding".

They commented: "This jazzy pop number should gain instant acceptance at A/C radio, with Top 40 crossover.
