"Stuck on You" is a song from the American alternative rock band Failure. It was released as the lead single from their third album Fantastic Planet. It was their only song to chart at Billboard, reaching number 23 in the U.S. Alternative Charts[1] and number 31 at U.S. Mainstream Rock Charts—both in January 1997, a month after entering the charts.[2][3]
American rock band Paramore covered the song on their The Summer Tic EP, with the title taken from the song lyrics, with "tick" being replaced by "tic".
Music video
[edit]A music video was released around 1997, which resembles the opening credits from the movie The Spy Who Loved Me of the James Bond franchise, airing a few times on MTV. It appeared later on their Golden compilation. Guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen appears in the video but did not perform on the track, joining the group after the album had been recorded.
On April 8 2020, Ken Andrews on his YouTube channel took a call from director Phil Harder to discuss how the video was made, and released a new transfer of the video from the recently recovered film copy. It was upscaled to High Definition playback.[4]
