"Pumping on Your Stereo" is a song by Supergrass, released as their first single from their self-titled third album (1999) on 24 May 1999.
"[2] Drummer Danny Goffey explained the history behind the song: "It came about when we were just in our rehearsal studio and we all started singing it over three chords.
Created by Nick Veasey, the single artwork is a photograph of the internal workings of a stereo, in fitting with the song's title.
[4] The video, directed by Hammer & Tongs, shows the band with their heads on Muppet-like puppet bodies, playing equally Muppet-like instruments in a black room.
Floating pink feather boas, Moai heads and fireworks are also seen through the duration of the video.
The band members remove their heads from their bodies in the video, and as the song finishes, Goffey's head can be seen being knocked off of his shoulders and flying across the stage until it hits a speaker and falls.
We couldn't use our regular directors [Dom and Nic] because they were too busy doing another video.
We looked around for some other directors, and we came up with Gus Jennings, who had worked with other people like Bentley Rhythm Aces.
