Garbage "Stupid Girl (Remix)" video

The promotional video for "Stupid Girl" was filmed on January 16, 1996 in Los Angeles by director Samuel Bayer. The video for single "Only Happy When It Rains" was shot at the same time. The video for "Only Happy When It Rains" was given a higher budget than the video for "Stupid Girl", because Almo Sounds believed that the former would be a bigger hit than the latter. MTV certified "Stupid Girl" a Buzz-clip, the band's third video in a row to be guaranteed heavy airplay on the network.

The video for "Stupid Girl" is a performance piece, inspired by the title sequence from David Fincher's 1995 movie Se7en. The clip was shot in just four hours entirely within a warehouse. Bayer cut the film into pieces, and soaked it in his bath, applying deliberate fingerprints and abrasions to the footage before putting it back together by hand. Bayer later re-edited a second version of the video, with alternative footage from the original shoot for a remix version of "Stupid Girl" by Todd Terry.

The "Stupid Girl" video was first commercially released on VHS and Video-CD on 1996's Garbage Video, along with "making of" out-take footage. A remastered version was later included on Garbage's 2007 greatest hits DVD Absolute Garbage.

whoever remixed this dropped the catchy bass, and thats was the hook in this song

[ABSOLUTgarbage]

It was Todd Terry.

I feel that the bass made the song, especially during the sections that the bass dropped out and then came firing back in on the choruses.

The remix did well though, it charted in the Top 40 in USA, and was remastered for the Absolute Garbage greatest hits album.
