"Mouth" is a song by British band Bush from their 1996 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 in 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]

Music video

Directed by John Hillcoat, who also directed the music video for the song "Personal Holloway", the music video for the Stingray Mix served as a tie-in for An American Werewolf in Paris that featured an appearance from Julie Delpy. It mainly shows the band performing at a carnival in the desert while clips from the film intervene. [3]
