" Cold Contagious " was the fourth and final single from post-grunge band Bush's second studio album, Razorblade Suitcase .

While Razorblade Suitcase initially reached the top spot on the U.S. Billboard 200, its sound proved not to be as radio-friendly as that of Bush's first album, Sixteen Stone . "Cold Contagious" was not a big hit, although it was more successful than the third single from the album, "Bonedriven," which failed to chart at all in the U.S. "Cold Contagious" peaked at #18 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart and #23 on the Modern Rock Tracks.

"Cold Contagious" features a sharp distorted sound and a heavy, dark drumbeat. The lyrics seem to be about a relationship breaking up, accompanied by a desire for revenge. "Cold Contagious" is unusually long among Bush songs -- at about six minutes, it is the longest track Bush ever released, except for the song "Distant Voices," also on Razorblade Suitcase . However, "Distant Voices" contains two hidden tracks, so "Cold Contagious" may be the longest actual song that Bush has released. The radio edit of the song is much shorter.

"Bonedriven" and "Cold Contagious" are the only Bush singles from 1994-1999 not to be included on the band's 2005 greatest hits compilation, The Best of: 1994-1999 , apparently excluded in favour of two additional tracks from the band's remix album Deconstructed that were not released as singles.
