Static-X pulled "I'm With Stupid" off Wisconsin Death Trip, their 1999 debut, and sent it out on Warner Bros. as a single in February 2000, retitled "I'm with Stupid (He's a Loser)". It opens with Wayne Static screaming the chorus before one guitar riff grabs hold and never lets go, and it signs off with a snatch of dialogue from Linnea Quigley in the 1988 film Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama. Static sings and plays guitar with Koichi Fukuda, who doubles on keyboards, over Tony Campos's bass and Ken Jay's drums; Ulrich Wild produced it with the band and mixed it.
Dave Meyers' video puts the band on stage at the Orpheum Theatre while a shovel-wielding woman hunts down the creature from the "Push It" clip, then unmasks as Wayne Static himself. Seven monkeys are hidden in it.
