"Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day)" is a song by British synth pop duo Erasure. The track originally appeared on the soundtrack to the documentary film Wigstock: the Movie. Erasure re-recorded the track for their album Erasure with new lyrics. It was released as the second single from the album by Mute Records in the UK and Elektra Records in the United States. The album version is over six minutes long; the single edit removes an extended instrumental section between the second and third choruses.
The song was composed by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell and is an uptempo dance music track. The music video features Bell singing the song as he walks through an amusement park. Upon its release the song became Erasure's twenty-second consecutive top-twenty hit in the UK singles chart. In Germany the song stopped at number sixty-nine. Although it did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, "Fingers & Thumbs" hit number ten on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
The single's B-side is a cover version of "High Energy" (retitled "Hi NRG"), a 1984 number-one U.S. dance chart hit by Evelyn Thomas.
