In an unexpected yet thrilling musical fusion, Sir Elton John and the legendary mock-rock band Spinal Tap have teamed up to release a fresh rendition of the iconic track 'Stonehenge'. The collaboration merges Elton's flamboyant piano-driven style with Spinal Tap's signature satirical rock, creating a track that's both nostalgic and refreshingly original.
The original 'Stonehenge', featured in the cult classic film This Is Spinal Tap, was a tongue-in-cheek homage to megalithic mysticism and rock excess. This new version retains the song's theatrical grandeur while adding Elton's unmistakable vocal and piano flourishes.
A Match Made in Rock 'n' Roll Heaven
Fans of both artists are in for a treat, as the track showcases the best of both worlds. Elton's soaring melodies blend seamlessly with Spinal Tap's witty lyricism, resulting in a track that's as humorous as it is musically impressive.
Nigel Tufnel, Spinal Tap's lead guitarist, expressed his excitement about the collaboration: "Working with Elton was absolutely brilliant—he totally got the joke, but also brought this incredible musicality to it. It’s like we finally found someone who could make our ridiculousness sound majestic."
Why This Collaboration Works
- Nostalgia meets novelty: The track pays homage to the original while offering something new.

- Spinal Tap’s wit: The lyrics remain as sharp and hilarious as ever.
