"Scotty Doesn't Know" is a song written and performed by the American rock band Lustra. Originally written for the 2004 film EuroTrip, the song contains numerous lewd and humorous references to how Scotty's girlfriend, Fiona, has been cheating on him with other partners for an extended period of time, although Scotty remains oblivious. Lyrically, the song is inspired by the real-life story of the band's high school friend Sheridon, whose middle name was Scotty, and is written from the perspective of the person with whom she is having the affair. The song was eventually released on Lustra's 2006 album Left for Dead. The song peaked at #53 on the U.S. Billboard Pop chart, #39 on the Digital Songs chart and at #75 on the Hot 100, mainly due to the high number of digital downloads.
In 2018, the song received widespread attention in Australia after featuring in the hijacking of the official website of Scott Morrison, the country's Prime Minister at the time.[1]
