==Information==
This song came from a practice session at Matthew Bellamy's house early in Muse's existence as a band,<ref name="riu20071203">{{cite/ripitup20071203}}</ref> with the guitar part coming before the bass line and percussion, respectively.<ref name="riu20071203"/> Its first recorded release was on the Muscle Museum EP, where it came in two versions. One is close to the later incarnation on Showbiz, and one is a short acoustic with rain effects. The full length version on the single is the two combined, with the latter used as an introduction to the former.
The EP version also differs from the Showbiz version as having a different bassdrum figure in the verses and the pre-chorus parts.
 
Matthew said that the song it's "About how people don't really face up to their inner emotions a lot of the time and they just get on with their mundane life" and that also the song was "about the conflict between the body and the soul or mind. It's how sometimes one element of your being will not allow something to happen. For example, say your body wants to have sex with a girl but your mind reminds you that you have a girlfriend. It's that inner conflict." - the Freudian idea of inner conflict between want and conscience. He also stated in the same interview that the meaning somehow involved people in the future no longer having bodies. This idea came from a book that he had read about cyber-culture.<ref name="MuseChannelVmarch2000">

The gig was announced by the festival on 25th of August, 2020, when Nova Rock festival announced the full festival line-up. It was announced by Muse a day later, on the 26th. Muse are closing and headlining the festival together with Billy Talent, Volbeat and [[System of a Down]]. This would make it the first time Muse are playing the Nova Rock festival in its 15 years of existance.
==Live==
Muscle Museum was played at most concerts from its release until the 2006 tour, during which it wasn't played until the concert at [[Cleveland Agora Theatre 2006 (gig)|Agora Theatre on September 10th]]. The song is played twice in 2007, the last one being [[Moscow Luzhniki Palace of Sports 2007 (gig)|Moscow on October 15th]].


It was announced on March 15th, 2021, that the festival would be postponed to June 2022, due to Covid-19.
As of January 2010, Howard revealed on TripleJ radio, Australia, he'd like to play the song live again, however, due to Bellamy losing the required (rare) effects pedal for part of the song, it's been left out of rotation so far. In September 2012, being asked whether they will play any ''Showbiz'' songs on ''[[The 2nd Law (album)|The 2nd Law]]'' tour, a member of Muse tweeted that "I'm routing for Muscle Museum to come back".<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/status/251030197170737152</ref>

Information

This song came from a practice session at Matthew Bellamy's house early in Muse's existence as a band,[1] with the guitar part coming before the bass line and percussion, respectively.[1] Its first recorded release was on the Muscle Museum EP, where it came in two versions. One is close to the later incarnation on Showbiz, and one is a short acoustic with rain effects. The full length version on the single is the two combined, with the latter used as an introduction to the former. The EP version also differs from the Showbiz version as having a different bassdrum figure in the verses and the pre-chorus parts.

Matthew said that the song it's "About how people don't really face up to their inner emotions a lot of the time and they just get on with their mundane life" and that also the song was "about the conflict between the body and the soul or mind. It's how sometimes one element of your being will not allow something to happen. For example, say your body wants to have sex with a girl but your mind reminds you that you have a girlfriend. It's that inner conflict." - the Freudian idea of inner conflict between want and conscience. He also stated in the same interview that the meaning somehow involved people in the future no longer having bodies. This idea came from a book that he had read about cyber-culture.[2]

The title comes from a dictionary that Muse used, which had 'muscle' immediately before 'muse' and 'museum' immediately after.[3][4]

You can hear Matt talking about his hometown in “Muscle Museum”, where Teignmouth still wanted to convince Muse they were doing wrong (to prove I’ve made a big mistake).[5]

She had something to confess to

But you don’t have the time so Look the other way You will wait until it’s over To reveal what you’d never shown her Too little much too late Too long trying to resist it You’ve just gone and missed it It’s escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing Begging for so much more Than you could ever give And I don’t want you to adore me Don’t want you to ignore me When it pleases you And I’ll do it on my own
