Stupid Over You
Screeching Weasel · Boogadaboogadaboogada [1988]
It doesn't make too much sense
But when I saw you on TV
This sounds so ridiculous
But I can't help the way I feel
When I look at your chubby face
Sandra I don't understand
How you always do it
The world's most lucky man
Is either Jerry Lewis or David Letterman
I wish I was your late night man
'Cause I get so stupid over you [x4]
Even though you're big and famous in movies and MTV
Can't the three of us go out and see midget wrestling
'Cause hanging out with you
Would definately be my dream come true
'Cause I get stupid over you
Stupid Over You
Released on the 1988 album Boogadaboogadaboogada, "Stupid Over You" stands as a quintessential example of the Screeching Weasel's early punk and noise rock output. The track exemplifies the band's signature style, characterized by frenetic energy, distorted guitars, and a chaotic vocal delivery that defies traditional song structures. As part of their prolific 1987-1988 discography, the recording captures the raw, unpolished aesthetic that would define their career and influence the post-punk and noise scenes. The song serves as a high-energy anthem that reflects the band's commitment to abrasive soundscapes and rapid-fire performance, cementing their reputation as a key force in the underground music landscape of the late 1980s.
