"Muscle Museum" is the third single by English alternative rock band Muse, and the third from their debut album, Showbiz. It was released on 7" vinyl—backed with "Minimum"—and double CD—backed with "Do We Need This?", a live acoustic version of the song, "Pink Ego Box" and "Con-Science"—on 22 November 1999 and reached #43 in the UK Singles Chart—an improvement of 9 positions on "Cave". It was named "Muscle Museum" when the band couldn't think of a name for the song so they looked 'Muse' up in the dictionary, picking the words immediately before and after.
All songs written and composed by Matthew Bellamy.
A 'US Mix' of "Muscle Museum" was released on 7" vinyl—backed with a live version of "Escape"—and double CD—backed with a live version of "Agitated", the 'Timo Maas Sunstroke Remix' of "Sunburn", the 'Saint US Mix' of "Sober" and the 'Soulwax Remix' of the song—on 9 October 2000 and reached #25 in the UK Singles Chart—18 positions higher than its original release.
