"I'm With Stupid" is the second single from Static-X's debut album, Wisconsin Death Trip. The song has reached high popularity, and considered by many to be one of Static-X's best songs. The song starts off with singer Wayne Static screaming out the words of the chorus, "He’s a loser, she said" and quickly moving on to the main guitar riff that is repeated throughout the song. The song ends with a sample of one of Linnea Quigley's lines from Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama.
[edit] "The Shovel Lady"
In the song, a woman’s voice is noticeable, saying short unclear sentences, which in context turns out to be " So I grabbed my shovel, and I beat him in the skull and took him down. Then I grabbed a rope and I hogtied him." Asked about this issue, Wayne Static claims this is based on true events. "This is real," Wayne Static says. "It was sampled off of the news. Her neighbor had left on vacation. Her and her husband, I don't know the details but somebody broke into the neighbor's house while they were on vacation. So these two went over there and literally creased the guy's skull with a shovel. This was somewhere out in the backwoods of Southern California. The lady was on the news and they were interviewing her as though she was a hero. She lived in a trailer."
[edit] Video
The music video for the song shows the band performing on stage, while a woman holding a shovel chases down a strange creature from an earlier Static-X music video. A couple of monsters and a blue man also make their appearances. In the end, the shovel lady beats the creature down with her shovel, and reveals herself to actually be Wayne Static. There are seven monkeys hidden in the music video. The director of this video was David Meyers.
