(Originally performed by: Spinal Tap)
The bigger the cushion
The sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband
The deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about bum cakes
My girl's got 'em
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind
How can I leave this behind?
I saw her on Monday
'Twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean
I love her each weekday
Each velvety cheekday
You know what I mean
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about mudflaps
My gal's got 'em
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind
How can I leave this behind?
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about bum cakes
My girl's got 'em
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind
How can I leave this behind?
Big Bottom (Spinal Tap Cover)
Soundgarden's cover of 'Big Bottom' serves as a striking example of the band's willingness to engage with rock history while maintaining their own sonic identity. Originally a staple of the British comedy film Spinal Tap, the song's frantic energy and satirical tone provided a unique challenge for the Seattle grunge pioneers. In their rendition, the band channels the raw, chaotic spirit of the original recording, utilizing their signature heavy riffs and dynamic shifts to transform a comedy bit into a genuine rock anthem. This track highlights the band's ability to reinterpret classic material, blending their technical proficiency with a sense of theatricality that resonated with fans of both grunge and rock comedy. The recording stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the source material and the band's capacity to inject it with their own distinct flavor.
