"Push It" was the opening shot from Wisconsin Death Trip, the 1999 debut by industrial metal crew Static-X, and together with "I'm with Stupid" it gets the credit for making that record the band's best seller. Wayne Static sings and plays guitar, Koichi Fukuda handles guitar and keyboards, Tony Campos plays bass and Ken Jay drums, and Ulrich Wild produced it with the band, recording and mixing it too.
Mick Olszewski's video cuts the band's performance together with clay-animation creatures in the vein of Tool's clips. Lists keep finding room for it: Consequence put it at 18 among the best industrial songs ever, Men's Health at 44 among heavy metal workout songs, and Spin's Annie Zaleski at 16 on her nu-metal list, praising the rumble underneath and Wayne Static's banshee screams.
