"Stupid Girl" is a 1995 song written, recorded and produced by alternative rock band Garbage and was released on their self-titled debut album.[1] The song was composed by Garbage members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, with lyrics based on female empowerment,[2] and an arrange based upon a drum sample from The Clash's 1980 hit "Train in Vain",[3] whose writers Joe Strummer and Mick Jones were given a co-writing credit for the song.[4] In 2007, "Stupid Girl" was remastered and included on Garbage's greatest hits album Absolute Garbage.[5] The remaining members of The Clash, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon, were given a co-writing credit on the remastered version.[6]

The song was released by Almo Sounds in North America and Mushroom Records worldwide as the band's fourth international single in 1996, and it became their biggest hit in United States,[7] Canada[8] and the United Kingdom.[9] The song's performance on the charts was driven by an innovative music video and cutting-edge remixes which gained massive airplay across the world. The success of "Stupid Girl" propelled sales of its parent album Garbage into the top twenty of the Billboard 200[10] and into the top ten of the UK Albums Chart.[11]

Critics also reviewed positively to the song, and "Stupid Girl" was nomintated for Grammy Awards[12] for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.[13] The song also received nominations for a Danish Grammy for Best Rock Song,[14] an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist[15] and an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Rock Song.[16] In 1998, Broadcast Music Incorporated awarded Garbage a Citation of Achievement for Best Pop Song for "Stupid Girl".[17]

[edit] Development

[edit] Composition

"Stupid Girl" began as a rough demo around January 1994, recorded during informal studio sessions between Vig, Erikson and Marker in Marker's home basement recording studio in Madison, Wisconsin on prior to Manson joining the group.[18] The band had been jamming using an ADAT eight-track, AKAI samplers and a small drum kit.[3] Marker created the bassline, while Erikson wrote a jangly guitar riff. The whole song came together when Vig brought both parts together over a drum sample from The Clash's "Train In Vain".[19] After Marker saw Manson's group Angelfish on 120 Minutes, the band invited her to Vig and Marker's Smart Studios to sing on a couple of songs, but after a "dreadful" first audition, she returned to Angelfish.[20] Manson eventually returned to Smart for a successful second time, where she began to work on the then-skeletal "Queer", "Vow" and "Stupid Girl".[21] Working on the lyrics, "Stupid Girl" became an "anthem for a girl who won't settle for less than what she wants".[2] Later she added, "["Stupid Girl" is] really about squandering potential, [it's] our version of Madonna's "Express Yourself", but a little more subversive".[22] Manson aimed the song as a rebuke towards a friend's foolish behaviour: "A lot of females still find it difficult to find their own voice in society. It's just that women have a different set of problems from men... make the most of your potential."[23] Manson added that "Stupid Girl" was "a song of reproach to a lot of people we know", both male and female,[24] and that "we could have called it 'Stupid Guy,' but we thought another song about a strident female dissing a guy would be tedious."[25]

Garbage wanted to write a song that incorporated a very thumpy and repetitive bass line; this would act as a hook.[26] Continuing to develop the demo throughout the recording process for what would eventually become the band's debut album, the group decided to add textures, guitars, and keys to make "Stupid Girl" dynamic rather than built on complicated chord changes.[3] Marker and Vig then added in elements of ambient sound effects throughout the audio mix; including the "glitchy" sound of a broken DAT player used during the pre-chorus.[3] Marker had been dubbing between audio tracks, resulting in scratchy feedback; he sampled the sound and tuned it to fit the song, unintentionally created by an alternative hook.[26] When Manson recorded her first vocals for "Stupid Girl", the band realised that the key that the song had been arranged in was too low, but instead of re-recording the guitars, Vig re-printed them through a pitch-change patch on an effects unit.[3] Additional percussion on "Stupid Girl" was performed by Madison musician Pauli Ryan, while the bass guitar line was played on record by Milwaukee session bassist Mike Kashou, both of whom performed on a number of tracks on the band's debut album.[27]

Reflecting on the success of the song in 2002, Vig admitted: "People still ask us who the 'Stupid Girl' is, and that's impossible to answer. The song is sort of meant to be a wake up call. It could be about an ex-girlfriend. It could be about a rock diva that we all know, it could be about your sister. It could also be called 'Stupid Boy'."[19] Looking back, he also stated, "It's impossible to predict what will be a hit. But subconsciously, I knew the song was good when I kept playing the same rough mix over and over again on my car stereo for months."[19]

[edit] Music and structure

"Stupid Girl" is a moderately fast song set in common time in the key of F♯ major. It is built on a I-IV change in F#, with both chords, F#7 and B7, turned into dominant 7s. The dominant 7s are in blues, and are used in this way to give "Stupid Girl" a sulk edge. This chord change is used for the intro, verse, chorus and the instrumental sections. "Stupid Girl" is mainly carried by this arrangement, along with drum beats, sampled from "Train In Vain".[28]

On the intro, four bars set the rhythm, adorned by only a guitar pick-slide and audio effects. The verse adds Manson's vocals and a bass riff which uses flattened blues notes to give "Stupid Girl" an R'n'B feel. The eight-bar prechorus abruptly cuts in with minor chords and sampled feedback replaces the bass which drops out. This, coupled with Manson singing high in her range, creates tension and enables the presence of the bass to be felt when it re-enters on the chorus. The guitar figures in the bridge include a phrase played low and rhythmic guitar stabs on the opposite side of the audio mix. On the chorus, Manson's main vocal is answered by an "aah-ah" of voice and guitar together. The word "girl" lands on a flattened bass note (A against the F# chord, instead of A#).[29]

[edit] Single release

The first single release of "Stupid Girl" occurred in Australia and New Zealand on February 5, 1996, when White issued a CD single backed with "Trip My Wire" (previously released on "Queer" in the United Kingdom) and remixes of "Queer" by Adrian Sherwood and Martin Gore.[30] A week later, White issued a second CD featuring a cover version of The Jam's "Butterfly Collector" and a further two "Queer" mixes produced by Danny Saber and Rabbit In the Moon[31] (also previously released in the UK[32]). Both formats were accompanied by cassette singles repeating the CD tracklists.[33] At the end of the month, "Stupid Girl" debuted at #32 for a single week on the RIANZ Top 40[34] and re-charted a fortnight later at #37.[34] The band's debut album, Garbage, ascended the album chart to reach #26.[35] At the end of March, "Stupid Girl" debuted at #47 on the ARIA Top 50 for a single week,[36] and re-charted at #49 two weeks later.[36] At the same time, Garbage reclimbed the album chart to spend two weeks at #16.[37] In July, White released a limited edition EP titled Stupid Girl - The Remixes collecting together the UK b-sides and remixes for the Australian market.[38]

BMG released "Stupid Girl" across Europe on February 28.[39] The single was issued as a CD maxi backed with both "Butterfly Collector" and "Trip My Wire".[40] In Iceland, "Stupid Girl" debuted at #18 at the start of April.[41] On the second week, it shot up to #4[42] where it remained for three weeks.[43] In Spain, "Stupid Girl" peaked at #40 on the airplay chart.[44] In Ireland, "Stupid Girl" peaked at #16.[45] BMG later reissued "Stupid Girl" in France[46] and Germany[47] when Garbage returned to tour Europe's rock festivals in August. "Stupid Girl" peaked at #38 on the French singles chart,[48] and Garbage re-charted to peak at #16 on the album chart.[49]

Mushroom Records serviced "Stupid Girl" to radio stations in the United Kingdom a month in advance of the release; it was A-listed at Radio One, Virgin and Capital.[50] At the start of March, "Stupid Girl" debuted at #48 on the airplay chart[51] and the band's debut album re-charted at #27 on the album chart.[52] Mushroom issued "Stupid Girl" on March 11 as a 2×CD single set and limited edition 7" vinyl packaged in two differing colours of fabric.[32] The song was backed with "Driving Lesson", a new version of "Dog New Tricks" and a remix of "Stupid Girl" produced by Red Snapper on the first disc;[53] "Alien Sex Fiend" and two versions of "Stupid Girl" remixed by Dreadzone on the second.[54] The vinyl was backed with the mix of "Dog New Tricks".[55] The single was supported by Garbage's first ever UK tour, which launched on March 19.[56] At the end of the first week, "Stupid Girl" debuted as the highest new entry on the UK Singles Chart at #4.[57] During the middle of the live shows, Garbage performed the single on Top of the Pops and a live showcase performance of "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains" on TFI Friday.[58] On its second week, "Stupid Girl" dropped to #10,[59] as Garbage broke into the albums top ten for the first time at #7.[60] On the airplay chart, "Stupid Girl" peaked at #5,[61] and spent the entire following month within the top ten.[62] At the end of April, Garbage peaked for two weeks at #6,[11] and remained in the top ten until May.[63] "Stupid Girl" clocked up seven weeks in the top 75 and sold 120,000 copies.[64]

In North America, where "Only Happy When It Rains" had been the band's breakthrough single, Almo Sounds planned either "Stupid Girl" or a re-release of their debut single "Vow" to follow it up.[65] On May 25, Almo serviced "Stupid Girl" to alternative radio. The success of "Only Happy..." had driven the band's debut Garbage to peak at #47 in April,[66] but the album had fallen to #73 since.[67] The release of "Stupid Girl" was timed with Garbage joining the Smashing Pumpkins' North American arena tour as the opening act throughout June and July.[18] After a week on air, "Stupid Girl" debuted on Modern Rock Tracks at #38.[68] Two weeks later, it broke into the Modern Rock top twenty (with an "Airpower" rating, meaning the song had registered over 900 detections for the first time on alternative radio)[69] and debuted at #66 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[70] At the end of the month "Stupid Girl" reached the top ten at Modern Rock[23] as Garbage ascended into the top forty of the Billboard 200 for the first time.[71] Almo re-serviced "Stupid Girl" with a remix of the song produced by Todd Terry to Top 40 radio.[72]

On July 9, Almo released "Stupid Girl" to record stores on CD and cassette single, backed with "Driving Lesson" and the Todd Terry version.[73] Almo serviced remixes of the song to clubs which were rated Hot Dance Break-outs[74] as "Stupid Girl" debuted at #46 on the Hot 100.[75] On July 11, Garbage performed "Stupid Girl" on The Late Show with David Letterman.[76] The next day the Smashing Pumpkins tour was halted after their keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin fatally overdosed (the tour resumed without Garbage a month later).[76] Although the postponement prevented Garbage from touring the single, the following week, "Stupid Girl" debuted at #68 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart,[77] at #47 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart and at #46 on the Hot Dance/Club Play chart.[78] At the end of July, Garbage was certified platinum by the RIAA for shipping a million units within the United States,[79] and a week later peaked at #20 on the album chart.[10] On August 6, Almo released a 12" vinyl format commercially featuring "Driving Lesson" and remixes of "Stupid Girl" produced by Todd Terry, Danny Saber, Rabbit In the Moon and Jason Bentley.[80] In mid-August, "Stupid Girl" peaked at #2 at Modern Rock[81] and at #26 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[82] At the end of August, strong 12" single sales of the remixes led to the song peaking at #30 on the Maxi-Singles Sales chart;[83] "Stupid Girl" also picked up enough mainstream rock airplay to spend two weeks at #39 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[84]

At the start of September, "Stupid Girl" became a crossover hit, having built up at both alternate and contemporary hit radio, where it reached #25 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart.[85] Two weeks later, "Stupid Girl" peaked at #24 on the Hot 100 in its ninth week;[86] at the same time the song peaked at #33 on the Single Sales chart[87] and hit #5 on the Club Play chart.[88] Since the release of the single in May, Garbage had doubled its sales to shifting around 40,000 units each week,[89] and remained in the top thirty of the Billboard 200 over the past two months.[90] At the end of September, "Stupid Girl" dropped out of the Modern Rock top ten.[91] As the song was still showing highly at Top 40, Almo serviced "Supervixen" to appeal to alternative stations.[92] "Stupid Girl" continued to gain a larger crossover audience throughout October, when it debuted at #39 on the Adult Top 40, and peaked at #36 two weeks later[93] after the Garbage performed the song at the VH1 Fashion Awards (the band hit the tabloids when Shirley Manson suffered a wardrobe malfunction midway).[94] "Stupid Girl" bowed off of the Modern Rock chart in mid-November after twenty-five weeks[95] and the song remained on the Hot 100 until the start of December (where the song had clocked up twenty weeks on the chart).[96] Almo followed up the success of the song by releasing "Milk" as the sixth single from Garbage;[97] however alternative radio picked up on "#1 Crush" instead and sent it to #1 at the end of the year.[98]

[edit] Remixes

In 1996, Mushroom released a white label to clubs featuring the Red Snapper and Dreadzone mixes in advance of the UK release of "Stupid Girl".[99] The Red Snapper mix was later released in Europe on the b-side to "Only Happy When it Rains",[100] while White Records released this mix along with the Dreadzone mixes on a Stupid Girl - The Remixes extended play.[38] Almo Sounds commissioned additional remixes from Danny Saber, Rabbit In the Moon, Jason Bentley and Todd Terry for the North American release of the single.[80] One of Todd Terry's mixes was also serviced to Top 40 radio.[72] Mushroom later released this version, along with the Danny Saber mix in the UK on the b-side of "Milk",[101] while White included the Todd Terry mix on the bonus disc of the Garbage: Australian Tour Edition.[102] In 1997, Mushroom released four Todd Terry mixes on a set of 12" vinyls (Stupid Girl Remixes) in the UK.[103] An instrumental version of the Red Snapper mix was also included on the compilation album Big Beat Elite.[104] In 2007, Todd Terry's radio mix was remastered and included on the Absolute Garbage bonus disc Garbage Mixes.[5]

Danny Saber's remix brief for his version of "Stupid Girl" was to create a version of the song for radio airplay on K-Rock new wave/alternative rock stations. Garbage's management wanted Saber to retain the original's "Train in Vain" loop, as it had cost the band significantly to license. Saber opted for a Soft Cell/house music combination; incorporating the original vocal line, tempo, key and feedback. Saber created a new bassline for the remix, arranging the mix around that. Saber completed the remix in a single day, with one further day required to mix.[105]

[edit] B-sides

Garbage recorded a number of tracks for the b-side of "Stupid Girl" in January 1996 during rehearsals for their first full-length concert tour.[106] During the rehearsals, Garbage remixed their album track "Dog New Tricks",[107] wrote and recorded "Driving Lesson" and "Alien Sex Fiend" and finally, recorded their own take "Kick My Ass", a Vic Chesnutt cover for inclusion on charity album Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation.[65] Daniel Shulman plays bass on all four tracks.[108] On October 14, 1998, Garbage, Electronic Arts, AT&T and Broadcast.com linked up to promote a live webcast from Garbage's headline show at Dallas Bronco Bowl by offering a free .a2b file format digital download of "Driving Lesson".[109] The song registered over 6,000 downloads.[14] "Driving Lesson" was nominated for "Best Internet Only Single" in the Yahoo! Internet Life Online Music Awards held at Studio 54 in New York City on July 19, 1999.[14] "Driving Lesson" lost to "The War" by The Artist.[110]

[edit] Music video

Director Samuel Bayer scratched up the film negative to present Garbage's video.

The music video for "Stupid Girl" was filmed on January 16, 1996 in Los Angeles by director Samuel Bayer. The video for single "Only Happy When It Rains" was shot at the same time.[111] The video for "Only Happy When It Rains" was given a higher budget than the video for "Stupid Girl", because Almo Sounds believed that the former would be a bigger hit than the latter.[112] The video debuted internationally on February 1, 1996,[113] and in North America on May 5.[114] MTV certified "Stupid Girl" a Buzz-clip, the band's third video in a row to be guaranteed heavy airplay on the network,[72] while VH1 added the video at the start of September[115] and incorporated it into a Pop Up Video episode.[112]

The video for "Stupid Girl" is a performance piece, inspired by the title sequence from David Fincher's 1995 movie Se7en.[116] The clip was shot in just four hours[116] entirely within a warehouse.[111] Bayer cut the film into pieces, and soaked it in his bath, applying deliberate fingerprints and abrasions to the footage before putting it back together by hand.[107] Bayer later re-edited a second version of the video, with alternative footage from the original shoot for a remix version of "Stupid Girl" by Todd Terry.[117]

The "Stupid Girl" video was nominated in the Best New Artist in a Video category at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards,[118] losing to the Stéphane Sednaoui-directed video for Alanis Morissette's "Ironic".[119]

The "Stupid Girl" video was first commercially released on VHS and Video-CD on 1996's Garbage Video, along with "making of" out-take footage.[120] A remastered version was later included on Garbage's 2007 greatest hits DVD Absolute Garbage,[5] and made available as a digital download via online music services the same year.[121]

[edit] Critical reception and legacy

"Stupid Girl" received an overwhelmingly positive response from music critics both upon the release of Garbage and on its eventual single release. Selects Ian Harrison called the song "Duran-like, describing it as "mighty doomy pop neatly tailored to enhance one's natural discontentment",[122] Vox magazine's Craig McLean called it "malignant, dirty, devious, sneering pop",[123] while Metal Hammer's Pippa Lang compared Manson's "ever-so-sexy, sibilant" vocals to Trent Reznor's.[124] Kerrang! described "Stupid Girl" as "a classy piece of predatory pop perfection that wields an iron punch beneath it's [sic] velvet glove".[19]

In 2005, "Stupid Girl" was featured in Curtis Hanson's In Her Shoes[125] while later that year, Alexz Johnson recorded a cover version of the track for the soundtrack album Songs from Instant Star.[126] In 2011, it was nominated for a place on the final track listing of STV's Scotland's Greatest Album.[127]
