A música Stuck in the Middle With You foi criada pela banda Stealers Wheel, formada por Gerry Rafferty e Joe Egan. A música é notavelmente conhecida por sua associação com uma cena do filme Reservoir Dogs, de Quentin Tarantino. A inspiração para a letra da música veio como uma resposta satírica à indústria da música e ao clichê do rock stardom da época.
