"Stupify" is the first single by American band Disturbed. The song was featured on their debut album The Sickness, which was released in 2000. The song talks about prejudice and being against it. During the song, Draiman pronounces the word "Mefached", which means "be afraid" in Hebrew. This became a popular trait in the song.

[edit] Inspiration
When Draiman was younger, he dated a young Latina girl and her parents would not let them be together because of their different ethnicities.
[edit] Music video
The video for the song features the band performing the song in a rusted cellar-like room, interspersed with footage of a young boy sitting in the same room. As the song progresses, the boy is revealed to be haunted by demonlike creatures.
The video makes extensive use of a visual effect commonly called "fast-head", first seen in Jacob's Ladder.
[edit] Hidden track
After the end of the track on the album, an eerie guitar arrangement identical to the one played in the background of the song "Down With the Sickness" can be heard. It has been known to be titled "Decay".
