Stupify is Disturbed's first single off their album, The Sickness. When lead singer David Draiman was young, he dated a Latina girl, and her parents never approved of him being of Jewish descent. The song is about racism.
Not many fans know the beginning lines of the song. In the opening David says "Yeah, bringing you another disturbing creation from the mind of one sick animal who can't tell the difference, and gets stupified."
Another commonly unknown line is "Mefached" ( מפחד ) David says this as the song slows down near the end, it is Hebrew for "Scared."
[edit] Music video
The video for the song features the band performing the song in a rusted cellar-like room, interspersed with footage of a young boy sitting in the same room. As the song progresses, the boy is revealed to be haunted by demonlike creatures.
The video makes extensive use of a visual effect commonly called "fast-head", first seen in Jacob's Ladder.
