Spinal Tap - Stonehenge Lyrics






In ancient times
Hundreds of years
Before the dawn of history
There lived a strange race of people - the druids

No one knows who they were
Or what they were doing
But their legacy remains
Hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge

Stonehenge - where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live
And they do live well
Stonehenge - where a man is a man
And the children dance
To the pipes of pan

Stonehenge - 'tis a magic place
Where the moon doth rise
With a dragon's face
Stonehenge - where the virgins lie
And the prayer of devils
Fills the midnight sky

And you my love
Won't you take my hand
We'll go back in time
To that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry
And the cats meow
I will take you there
I will show you how

And oh, how they danced
The little children of Stonehenge
Beneath the haunted moon
For fear that daybreak might come too soon

And where are they now, the little people of Stonehenge?
And what would they say to us if they were here tonight?

  22. A.... ....

    It looks like a goddamned lucky charm! XD

  23. e.... ....

    I recall an interview with Geezer where a recounts a similar thing happening to Sabbath, only in reverse. They wanted a Stonehenge 30 feet across, and the builder made it 30 meters. It could not fit into the venues they were playing in at the time.

  24. L.... O....

    Stone'enge.

  25. T.... H....

    Not only one of the best scenes in the film, its brilliant writing

    For all their crassness and childishness, this song shows that they’ve genuinely got talent when they try.

    Their playing an amazing set and Nigel is shredding on the mandolin, then down comes the tiny Henge prop. They all look defeated-even at their best they can’t catch a break!

  26. I.... ....

    I hear Styx in this song. Is it just me?

  27. R.... d....

    This is how many people legitimately like spinal tap's music.
    ⬇️

  28. G.... W....

    No One Knows
    Who They Were
    Or What They Were Doing ,
    But Their Legacy Remains .

  29. D.... ....

    Supernatural anyone??

  30. a.... b....

    No ones know who they were, or what they were doing.

  31. N.... G....

    Their faces are priceless when that thing comes down

  32. C.... W....

    The film only gets funnier ever time I watch it

  33. Z.... ....

    Stonehenge, where a man is a man
    TRIGGERED!

  34. K.... L....

    Sick song to be honest.

  35. j.... c....

    I played this song with a 2-foot replica of Stonehenge I made out of styrophome sitting on the drum riser. Killed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. J.... M....

    The greatest fictional band in Rock & roll history

  37. M.... N....

    Now I know where Nightwish gets all of their ideas from.

  38. M.... J....

    Smell the glove!

  39. B.... M....

    I've often thought this scene was a huge inspiration for Richie Blackmore's band Blackmore's Night.

  40. N.... P....

    Fuck the napkin!

  41. r.... S....

    This was the best 'Rock Music' pisstake ever devised! These guys just killed it! The argument scenes were worthy of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young!

  42. j.... F....

    an oh how dey donced

  43. j.... c....

    The beginning of the song is a total reference to Donavan's song Atlantis,. Only he was lame enough to do it for real. It's great when Spinal Tap does it though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAMYGzwUTK4

  44. H.... H....

    Lmao 🤣 I love it

  45. M.... ....

    The Simpsons brought me here....

    M.... ....

    hahahajahahwha love it

  46. H.... ....

    When the keys come in it’s as good as any rock song.

  47. �.... �....

    Только сегодня узнал, что это пародийная группа

  48. t.... r....

    I love the Roadie with the yellow cap and tee shirt

  49. R.... I....

    Cool guitar strap.

  50. J.... L....

    "Making a big thing out of it would of been a good idea"

    J.... L....

    A cricket bat solves all problems...

  51. t.... ....

    Mr Smalls, we're ready to audition bassists for Manowar now...

  52. t.... ....

    I'll bet the guys from Iron Maiden saw this & lost it laughing saying "Shit like this happened to US!!"

  53. M.... ....

    "No we're not fucking doing Stonehenge!!!"

  54. C.... ....

    My favorite scene from Spinal Tap. And Nigel...😍

  56. B.... T....

    The Grateful Dead. Anyone?

  57. F.... M....

    Los busque por los simpson 😆

  58. G.... W....

    "Are we playing Stonehenge tomorrow night ? " , " !!! NO , WE'RE NOT PLAYING FUCKING STONEHENGE TOMORROW NIGHT !!!

    I agree, where the cats meow is one of the finest lyrics ever.

  60. N.... ....

    cryiiiiiiinnngggg.....flippin hillarious

  61. C.... F....

    I worked as a roadie in the UK in the early 80's. This stuff is based on reality. You can't make this shit up. The rock music game is really this stupid.

  62. M.... P....

    Hundreds of years, before the dawn of history...

  63. M.... ....

    the part at the end is unironically fucking amazing

  64. P.... ....

    I have heard much worse rock songs from bands that (I think) were being serious. For example, Saxon's 'Strong Arm Of The Law' (about but being stopped and searched by plod): "The only speed we use is our cars". Lol!

  65. L.... A....

    all is all

  66. R.... F....

    Stonehenge (the cat's meow)

  67. R.... C....

    "where the dewdrops cry" :)

  68. R.... R....

    Didn't something similar happen to Black Sabbath? Something for the set got measured in inches but was built to the metric system measurements?

  69. L.... A....

    Where the dew drops cry, and the cats meow.

  70. D.... ....

    I actually think the song is kinda dope

  71. C.... S....

    I'd have to say this is my favorite scene in the movie but it's hard to pick. The looks on their faces and the argument back stage had me in tears the first time I watched it

  72. E.... S....

    Just came back from Salisbury and Stonehenge. Just saying.

  73. i.... ....

    I came from Supernatural!

  74. d.... o....

    "No one knows who they were, or what they were doing.." hahaha

  75. M.... O....

    Where the demons dwell!

  76. d.... n....

    Beginning of The Twilight zone!!

  77. r.... ....

    I just realize that Derek Smalls is the father of William Murderface Murderface Murderface.

  78. M.... ....

    Stone 'enge

  79. D.... L....

    This movie is gold.

  80. B.... C....

    2:17 Priceless!

  81. S.... A....

    The pipes of pan lmao

  82. J.... S....

    “Hewn into the rock of...Stone ’enge”. To give it its right proper Cockney pronunciation.

  83. D.... S....

    Good music and amusing movie, lick my love pump 😂😂😂

  84. A.... C....

    This is by far my favorite part of the movie.

  85. B.... ....

    1:04 - 2:04 FUCKING MASTERPIECE

  86. J.... B....

    Is this murder of the universe

  87. J.... P....

    That Stonehenge prop is the cat's meow.

  88. w.... ....

    Trump's wall!

  89. T.... H....

    Still better than anvil

  90. L.... S....

    _"No one knows...Who they were. Or...What they were doin'."_

  91. J.... O....

    Still better than Slipknot

  92. F.... G....

    "No one knows who they were, or what they were doing..."

  93. b.... .....

    This is every prog rock band of the 70's.

  94. c.... ....

    This movie looks fuckin’ hilarious, how is it that I am just discovering it now, over 30 years after its release??!! Well I wasn’t born when it came out, but still

  95. a.... a....

    The greatest moment in rock history

  96. A.... W....

    Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that in both this and Mighty Wind, a bunch of actors making spoofs of musical genres, made some damned fine songs in both.
