"Sick, Sick, Sick" reached the US iTunes Store as a download in May 2007, cut from Queens of the Stone Age's Era Vulgaris, and it comes with a ringer riding shotgun: Julian Casablancas of the Strokes, adding backing vocals and synth guitar to a racket built by Josh Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar, bass and keys, and Joey Castillo on drums. Homme produced it with Chris Goss, and Alain Johannes recorded and mixed it, keeping the stoner-rock grind greasy and mean.
Homme's own pitch for the song, given to Dose magazine that May, was gloriously unhinged: a kind of fairy-godparent of the gutter, tapping heads and setting people loose from their guilt. A limited EP of the same name padded it out with a remix of "I'm Designer" plus covers of Tom Waits' "Goin' Out West" and Elliott Smith's "Christian Brothers".
