"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 hosted a green screen contest online, in which they recorded themselves in a green screen filter and uploaded it to their website, so that fans could create their own version of the video.
