Watch: “These Go to Eleven… and Elton: Spinal Tap’s ‘Stonehenge’ Returns with Regal Reinforcements”

After 41 years of thunderously misinterpreted stage directions, Spinal Tap has risen again with the help of none other than Sir Elton John. The band’s legendary ode to ancient rock and questionable measurements, “Stonehenge,” has been reimagined for a new era in a video that’s as bombastic as it is historically inaccurate.

This time, it’s not just druids dancing around an 18-inch foam obelisk. It’s a full-blown visual extravaganza tied to the upcoming film Spinal Tap II: The End Continues set for release on September 12, 2025. Elton John joins the Tap as a knighted piano wizard, layering glam and gravitas atop the band’s sacred stone jam. His vocals glide over the riff like a Rolls Royce in a quarry.

But the real tectonic force remains Derek Smalls. Bassist. Mustache-wearer. The self-described lukewarm water of rock. Armed with his battle-worn Schecter 5-string tuned for thunder and occasional jazz fusion, Smalls anchors the song’s subterranean groove with the solemnity of a man who has stared into the abyss and asked it for tone tips.

“It’s a song about rocks. Literal rocks. Very heavy,” Smalls said in a press statement no one asked for. “And when Elton sings about druids, you listen.”

The video has already begun trending worldwide, mostly among viewers confused whether it’s satire, prophecy, or a particularly elaborate vitamin commercial. Either way, the return of Spinal Tap with full Nigel Tufnel and David St Hubbins firepower has officially turned things up to eleven once more.
