Dull Tool
"Dull Tool" is a song by American singer-songwriter Fiona Apple, released on the soundtrack to the comedy film ''This Is 40'' (2012). It is the first track Apple wrote solely for a film. "Dull Tool" was produced by Apple's long-time collaborator Jon Brion, and leaked online in November 2012, several weeks before the soundtrack hit stores on December 11. Apple recorded a second song for ''This Is 40'', though this was not included in the film nor its soundtrack.
==Background and composition==
American singer-songwriter Fiona Apple became involved with the comedy 2012 film ''This Is 40'' after being sent a script by its writer and director, Judd Apatow. The two had met a few years previously during a benefit concert for a family clinic; Apatow was a self-described fan of her music. Some time after sending Apple the script,〔 film composer Jon Brion told Apatow that Apple had recorded a demo for the film. Apatow later commented in an interview with Pitchfork Media, "I didn't know she would write anything. The song was perfect, and I knew exactly where to put it."〔 He added that Apple had recorded a second song, but he could not find an appropriate place to insert it into the film; he called this song "equally as great as 'Dull Tool'. It was heartbreaking not to put it in, but I'm sure it'll reach people at some point. It's a beautiful song." Brion, a long-time collaborator of Apple's, produced "Dull Tool", as well as every other original song featured on the album.
"Dull Tool" has been perceived to reference a poorly-ended relationship,〔 in which Apple begins by discussing the game hide and seek and ends by "launching into a barrage of insults."〔 Lyrically, various music critics considered the "dense and fevered" song to be the "tortured antidote" or "painful sequel" to "Hot Knife", a song from Apple's 2012 album, ''The Idler Wheel...''.〔 ''Slate'' noted that the song included Apple's regular "fast-tumbling waltzes on the piano" as well as "an orchestra’s worth of mandolins, violins, electric guitars, and timpani."〔
