I'm With Stupid

I'm with Stupid is the second studio album by the American singer-songwriter Aimee Mann, released in 1995. Most fans took the title to be a reference to Mann's unhappy relationship with her record label, which she felt did not understand how to promote her music. Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford from the band Squeeze appear as background vocalists and musicians on "That's Just What You Are", "Frankenstein", and "It's Not Safe", and they allowed Mann to use a riff from their song "Up the Junction" on "Long Shot". Juliana Hatfield provides backing vocals on "You Could Make a Killing" and "Amateur." Neil Innes, from The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Monty Python and The Rutles, provides backing vocals on "It's Not Safe". Prior to the album's release, "That's Just What You Are" appeared on the soundtrack of Fox Network television series Melrose Place in 1994, while "Amateur" appeared on the Sliding Doors soundtrack in 1998 and NBC television series Ed in 2004. "You Could Make a Killing" appeared on the Cruel Intentions soundtrack in 1999.
