About This Track
“Stupid Girl” is a song by Garbage, released as a single in 1996, taken from their 1995 self-titled debut album. It became Garbage’s highest charting single in many territories, including in the US Billboard Hot 100 and in the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at #4. Its success 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 and into the UK Albums Chart top ten. In 1997 the song was nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group.
Written by Garbage members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, the song is based upon a drum sample from The Clash’s 1980 hit “Train in Vain”, whose writers Joe Strummer and Mick Jones were given a co-writing credit for the song. In 2007, “Stupid Girl” was remastered and included on Garbage’s greatest hits album Absolute Garbage.The remaining members of The Clash, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon, were given a co-writing credit on the remastered version of the song.
“Stupid Girl” began as a rough demo in January 1994, during sessions among Vig, Erikson and Marker in Marker’s basement recording studio in Madison, Wisconsin.The band had been jamming with numerous instruments, an eight-track and samplers.
