"Stupid Girl" is a song by American alternative metal band Cold and the lead single from their third major label album, ''Year of the Spider''. It was the second song released for the album overall; "Gone Away" was released on the ''WWE Tough Enough 2'' soundtrack while recognized as a ''Year of the Spider'' track a year prior to its release. "Stupid Girl" made its radio debut on March 18, 2003 and was the only Cold single to crack the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song, as well as its music video, were heavily played on MTV2 and Fuse TV throughout the several months following its release. The single was also included on the 2003 heavy metal compilation, ''MTV2 Headbangers Ball''. ==Overview== "Stupid Girl" marks a shift in Cold's style into a substantially more commercial direction. Frontman Scooter Ward began working on the song in 2002 and, although he liked the guitar riff, considered it too reminiscent of Weezer, a band that Cold had toured with earlier and befriended. Ward subsequently asked Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo to lend a hand in the song's development for their first and only collaboration. The verse lyrics and opening/chorus guitar riff were then written by Cuomo. Originally the two singers planned to trade off vocals, but after Cuomo heard Ward's tracks, he decided to limit his own vocal contribution to the pre-chorus.〔MTV News staff ("Cold Pair Up With Weezer Frontman For 'Stupid Girl,' Battle Giant Spiders" ) MTV.com (March 5, 2003).

The song begins with an electric guitar intro followed by an increasingly louder snare beat. This carries into a verse emphasizing vocals of disdain over the subtle guitar and drum beat. The song's bridge halts the established melody for a solo, acoustic chord progression. An anthemic vocal harmony then ensues before returning to the chorus. An acoustic version of the song was performed on ''Sessions@AOL'' which aired on Fuse TV in 2003.〔(Scooter Ward: Cold - 'Stupid Girl' from Sessions@AOL' ) Video.AOL.com.
