"Mouth" is a 1996 song by British band Bush from their second album Razorblade Suitcase. Though its original version was not released as a single, it was remixed by Bush under the pseudonym "The Stingray" for the 1997 remix album Deconstructed and was released as a single on 7 October 1997, due largely in part to it being featured prominently in both the trailer and the 1997 film An American Werewolf in Paris. The Stingray remix was the version that made the song popular and received airplay on radio peaking number 5 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[2]
Details[edit]
Patricia Jones of Cryptic Rock opined the original mix of the track to be "one-two punch of classic grunge grit and narcotic rhythms", evoking a "comfortable daze".[1]
