"Rose Red Violent Blue (This Song Is Dumb & So Am I)" is a song by American rock band Stone Sour. It was a single off of their album Hydrograd. As of October 2017, it had peaked at number 31 on the Billboard US Mainstream Rock Songs chart.
The song was first debuted on June 25, 2017, BBC Radio 1's "Rock Show With Daniel P Carter", five days ahead of its release on the band's sixth studio album, Hydrograd, on June 30. A music video for the album was released on September 13, 2017, when the song was released to rock radio as a single. The video plays on the stereotype of popular rock bands going to strip clubs, but in a twist, instead of being patrons, they are instead working there, serving the drinks and doing the dances. The video features a cameo appearance by glam rock band Steel Panther.
The song has been described as hard rock.Loudwire described its sound as "an energetic rocker that sways from a light, moody opening to a hook-laden rager." The song was recorded live in the studio, without any auto-tune, pitch correction, or additional programming involved.Allmusic described the song as having "Beatles-esq verse melody" and an arena rock chorus.
