Static-X slotted "Dirthouse" fifth on Start a War and made it the album's second single in 2005, after "I'm the One", with the writing credited to the band as a whole. Ulrich Wild produced, recorded and mixed it with Kennie Takahashi assisting, and the lineup reads Wayne Static on vocals and guitar, Tripp Eisen on guitar, Tony Campos on bass and Nick Oshiro on drums.
The video, out in November 2005, takes the title literally. The band plays in a grimy room with the drums caked in ash, and the racket shakes dirt loose from the light fixtures and the ceiling until, by the last shot, the floor lies buried under a thick layer of the stuff.
