The puppet show in the music video was obviously just a puppet show. Yet people went to see the show to be reassured, asking questions to something that was obviously just a puppet. Again, that symbolizes how people can be really stupid. Released on compact disc and cassette on October 12, 1993 in Canada (Arista, 16531-2), the US (Arista, ARCD/AC 6531), the UK (RCA/BMG, 20152-2) and Japan (RCA/BMG, BVCA-644); reached #9 on the US charts and #2 on the UK charts.The album was the band's biggest mainstream hit. AllMusic writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine attributes the album's success to "Jerry Harrison's remarkably clear and focused production" and that "apart from the relatively concise pop smarts of the singles "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" and "Afternoons and Coffeespoons," God Shuffled His Feet isn't all that different from the band's first album."

In 1986, Riddell joined with Brad Roberts to form the decidedly less-than-serious bar band Bad Brad Roberts and the St. James Rhythm Pigs. Over time, the band evolved into Crash Test Dummies, a name suggested by a friend of the band who was in medical school. The diagnostic mannequin, known colloquially as a crash test dummy, was known to the public already by this time. The band adopted the name as a joke, [3] but nevertheless kept it. Ellen Reid and Benjamin Darvill became permanent additions. George West, the original bass player, quit and was replaced by Dan Roberts, Brad's brother. Riddell was replaced by Vince Lambert, who was replaced by Mitch Dorge just before the release of The Ghosts That Haunt Me.
