"Dull Boy" first turned up on Mudvayne's 2007 album By the People, for the People, and the band carried it over to The New Game, their 2008 studio album; Epic put it out as a single. It's a horror-movie valentine: the title and the song's opening both point straight at The Shining, with Chad Gray repeating the title line four times at the start, his voice climbing from a whisper to a scream as he goes. Mudvayne have said in interview after interview that Stanley Kubrick is their favorite director, and here it shows.
For the video they handed the job to the fans with an online green-screen contest: the band filmed themselves against a green screen, put the footage up on their website and let fans build their own versions of the clip.
