Stupid Girls

"Stupid Girls" is a song recorded by American singer Pink from her fourth studio album I'm Not Dead (2006).

"Stupid Girls" was written by Pink, Billy Mann, Niklas Olovson, and Robin Mortensen Lynch.

It received airplay in nightclubs, peaking inside the top 20 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.

"[11] Jon Pareles was favorable: "the pop-reggae of Stupid Girls snidely dismisses the bimbos she sees everywhere, though she apparently has studied their habits closely.

"[12] PopMatters was negative: "On "Stupid Girls", she rails against the idea that women have to choose between being smart and being sexy, as if the two are mutually exclusive.

[13] Sal Cinqeman was favorable: "As always, Pink's ragged vocals are better than she's often given credit for and there's still a rebel sensibility, at least lyrically, on the catchy lead single "Stupid Girls" ("Where, oh where, have all the smart people gone?"

Author Noor Al-Sibai remarked that: "Pink shits on these women who are too stupid to break out of the chains of patriarchy by harshly judging their promiscuity and blaming them for 'giving in' to sexist tropes.

[19] According to Barry Weiss, president of Zomba Music Group, executives at Pink's label were reluctant to release the song as the album's first single until the video "hit a chord" with them.

The video ends with the girl choosing a football (fitness), a computer (work), books (knowledge and adequate education), a pair of dance shoes (love), and a keyboard (leisure) over makeup (vanity) and a set of dolls (children) as she wants a normal life and the images are too overwhelming for her; the demon is defeated.

Some of the negatively portrayed characters in the video are parodies of young female celebrities such as Mary-Kate Olsen, who provides the basis for the Boho-chic dressing style of the girl who visits a Fred Segal clothing store.

[23] Towards the end of the video, an older woman with leathery skin appears next to a hot pink Honda S2000, which is exactly the same car driven by Devon Aoki in the film 2 Fast 2 Furious.

[26] When she was receiving the award, Pink parodied Paris Hilton by talking in a higher pitched voice and acting overly excited.

[27] In 2023, Paris Hilton wrote in her memoir that she felt judged by being parodied in the music video but called Pink a "brilliant" singer.
