From the greatest metal band in history (and the greatest mock documentary in history) here is the inimitable Spinal Tap with their classic "Hell Hole" from the 1984 soundtrack album for the movie "This Is Spinal Tap." If you have never seen it I highly recommend the DVD since it has bonus videos and almost an hour and a half of extra scenes that weren't in the movie. It is truly a classic for fans of comedy, music, and mockumentaries. Starring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer (along with occasional drummer that always met some ill-fate) and directed by Rob Reiner who also does the 'interviews' of the band in the movie.
Rock & Roll's heaviest of the heavy, from 1984 IT'S SPINAL TAP!

LYRICS:

The window's dirty, the mattress stinks
This ain't no place to be a man
I ain't got no future, I ain't got no past
And I don't think I ever can

The floor is filthy, the walls are thin
The wind is howling in my face
The rats are peeling, I'm losing ground
Can't seem to join the human race

Yeah!
I'm living in a hell hole
Don't want to stay in this hell hole
Don't want to die in this hell hole
Girl get me out of this hell hole

I rode the jet stream, I hit the top
I'm eating steak and lobster tails
The sauna's drafty - oooh, the pool's too hot
The kitchen stinks of boiling snails

The taxman's coming, the butler quit
This ain't no way to be a man
I'm going back to where I started
I'm flashing back into my pan

Yeah, that's what I am doing, and why not?
It's better in a hell hole
You know where you stand in a hell hole
Folks lend a hand in a hell hole
Girl get me back to my hell hole

  • This isn't metal this is shit

  • @Megamansuper2345

    This is going on 30 years ago and in it's time this was considered hard rock/heavy metal, I agree that it isn't by today's standards. Also, it's called satire, it's not even a 'real' band, Google it if you're too young to remember! It is a 'real' band in that the people acting in the movie are actually performing the music, but beyond that it is just satire, parody. etc.

    Later, Toast

  • Ha, this about made my day. And your name is kinda weird.

  • Thanks for the comment, SPINAL TAP RULES!

    And yes, my name is, uh let's say different!

  • You know, I have been trying desperately to find any video of the time Spinal Tap was on VH1 discussing the best albums of all time. It was genius. I wish I had taped it. I think it was about 8-10 years ago. It also featured Kelsey Grammar on the panel.

  • Spinal Tap is a fictional band

see all

  • lmao

  • You know that, I know that, but there seem to be a some that just don't get that joke.

    But they're still the best! EVER! (Get it?!)

  • I'd love to see it if you ever find it, maybe post here on YouTube, that would rock!

  • First of all READ THE DESCRIPTION for the video and then maybe you'll understand why it's labeled in the way that it is. You're not the first person to make this comment and maybe you'll get it if you do a little more reading. For that matter just Google "Spinal Tap" or go to Wikipedia and you'll understand what the deal is. Thanks for listening anyway, later, Toast

  • this very old heavy metal but it is the worst now
