  • The Boy with the Arab Strap is the third album from the Scottish band Belle & Sebastian, and has been called their best album. The instrumental of the title track "The Boy with the Arab Strap" was later used as the theme tune for the television show Teachers. The title track was also played and the album referenced in the 2009 film (500) Days of Summer. Part of the song "Seymour Stein" is briefly featured in the 2000 film High Fidelity. The track was also in the movie Definitely, Maybe (2008) starring Ryan Reynolds and Isla Fisher. The inspiration for the album's name came from the band Arab Strap, who are also from Scotland and briefly toured with Belle & Sebastian. An Arab strap is a sexual device for retaining an erection. Arab Strap were reportedly less than pleased with their inclusion in the title of the album. When questioned about it, Arab Strap's leader/singer, Aiden, said "They have a sense of humor. " Malcolm, the band's instrumentalist, added, "Because Arab Strap is quite an interesting name. The words go well together. That's why we chose it as a band name. We're friends with them, but there's a limit to putting someone else's name on an album. They’re taking away something from us. " He also mentioned that the album had been confused as a collaboration between the bands. The album features several lead vocals by members of the band other than Stuart Murdoch. Stevie Jackson sings lead on both "Seymour Stein" and "Chickfactor," Stuart David gives a spoken word performance on "A Space Boy Dream" and Isobel Campbell sings lead on "Is It Wicked Not to Care?". Despite accolade, online music criticism outlet Pitchfork Media described the album in a controversial review as "breaking new grounds of terrible" for its "mediocrity. " It received a 0.8/10.
  • The Boy with the Arab Strap és el tercer àlbum de la banda escocesa de twee pop Belle & Sebastian. La part instrumental de la cançò 'The Boy with the Arab Strap' va ser la sintonia per la sèrie britànica Teachers. Part de la cançò 'Seymour Stein' apareix breument a la película de l'any 2000 Alta fidelitat.

  • The Boy with the Arab Strap er Belle & Sebastians tredje album. Det ble sluppet 7. september 1998. I Norge oppnådde albumet en 7. plass på VG-lista, og er dermed det albumet fra Belle & Sebastian som har oppnådd den beste listeplasseringen i Norge. Navnet på albumet var inspirert av det skotske bandet Arab Strap, som Belle & Sebastian turnerte med en kort periode.

Tittelsporet ble brukt som kjenningsmelodi til tv-serien Teachers. En del av «Seymour Stein» spilles i filmen High Fidelity.
