About This Track

“Stupid Girl” is a song by American alternative metal band Cold and the lead single from their third major label album, Year Of The Spider. It was the second song released for the album overall. “Stupid Girl” made its radio debut on March 18, 2003 and was the only Cold single to crack the Billboard Hot 100. The song, as well as its music video, were heavily played on MTV2 and Fuse TV throughout the several months following its release.

“Stupid Girl” marks a shift in Cold’s style into a substantially more commercial direction. Frontman Scooter Ward began working on the song in 2002 and, although he liked the guitar riff, considered it too reminiscent of Weezer, a band that Cold had toured with earlier and befriended. Ward subsequently asked Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo to lend a hand in the song’s development for their first and only collaboration. The verse lyrics and opening/chorus guitar riff were then written by Cuomo. Originally the two singers planned to trade off vocals, but after Cuomo heard Ward’s tracks, he decided to limit his own vocal contribution to the pre-chorus. The song blatantly revolves around relationship troubles with bits of tongue-in-cheek phrasing commonly found in Cuomo’s writing style.

The song begins with an electric guitar intro followed by an increasingly louder snare beat. This carries into a verse emphasizing vocals of disdain over the subtle guitar and drum beat. The song’s bridge halts the established melody for a solo, acoustic chord progression. An anthemic vocal harmony then ensues before returning to the chorus.

    One of very few bad tracks by this band...the success of this song was why they went to generic rock whereas the first 3 albums are actually unique.
