"Dull Boy" is a single from American heavy metal band Mudvayne's 2007 album By the People, For the People, later included on the band's 2008 studio album The New Game.

Lyrical themes

[edit]

At the beginning of the song, Chad Gray repeats "All work and no play makes me a dull boy" four times, elevating his voice from a whisper to a scream with each repetition. This is a reference to The Shining. The band has stated in numerous interviews that Stanley Kubrick is Mudvayne's favorite director.

Video

[edit]

For the video the band made a green screen contest in which they record themselves in a green screen and upload it to their website so that anyone can do their own version of the video and upload it.
