"Excuse Me Mr." is the fourth single by rock band No Doubt from the album Tragic Kingdom. It is also featured on No Doubt's album The Singles 1992-2003.
The song was originally composed on the acoustic guitar, and two versions were recorded: one with country and folk influence, one with punk rock influence. Producer Matthew Wilder preferred the former, and the other, which the band preferred, was lost in a studio accident. The studio pressed No Doubt to use the folk version on Tragic Kingdom, but the band refused to record "Spiderwebs", another single from the album, unless it could re-record the punk version of "Excuse Me Mr." "Excuse Me Mr." Montoya, Paris and Lanham, Tom. 2003.
