}}"Muscle Museum" is a single by the English rock band Muse from their album, Showbiz. Muscle Museum was the third single that the band released from the Showbiz album. The first single release date in the UK was November 22 1999, in CD and 7" Vinyl format. The single was then re-released in the US on October 9 2000 on the Warner/Maverick record label.The title of the song is formed from two words either side of the word "Muse" in most dictionaries. The subject of the song is considered quite esoteric, with interpretations on various forums taking in topics. However, given that in interviews Matt Bellamy has stated that songs on the album Showbiz were influenced by the negative experience of growing up in Teignmouthhttp://www.btinternet.com/~mrgnet/muse/devon.html, a generally accepted suggestion is that it refers to the experience of being a fledgling band in an unappreciative community, having to play so-called "toilet venues".Music journalist Ben Myers wrote a biography of the band
