"I'll Stick Around" is the second single released by the Foo Fighters from their self titled debut album Foo Fighters. It was released in 1995.

The video for this song was the first Foo Fighters music video and was directed by Jerry Casale, who was a member of and directed videos for Devo.

The video shows the band performing the song in a room with a paper background while lights strobe and a giant spore floats around them. This is interspersed with footage of Dave Grohl eating chess pieces and brushing his teeth with what appears to be a handled razor blade (although there is no blood). The video was featured in an episode of Beavis and Butt-head.

"Weird Al" Yankovic included I'll Stick Around in his polka medley "The Alternative Polka", from Bad Hair Day.
