"We Don't Play Guitars" was the first single from 99 Cents, the 2003 album by electroclash crew Chicks on Speed, and they brought Peaches along for the ride. The title reads like a manifesto, and Pitchfork's Dan Lett heard the track as "a gutsy, rambunctious melee that puts mantra before message."
Deborah Schamoni directed the video, with the costumes designed by the group and Kathi Glas. The single was made to be taken apart on the dancefloor: Chicken Lips stretched it past eleven minutes in a dub version on a German 12-inch, while Tiefschwarz and Cristian Vogel also took turns remixing it. It also turned up on the compilations FM4 Sound Selection 9 and Now 9.
