Description
Spinal Tap had built a legend and was more popular at this point than when the movie was released. The Break Like the Wind album charted twice as high (#61) as the first Spinal Tap album (#121). This single is definitely NOT a Shit sandwich.

Spinal Tap had just released Break Like the Wind when the band was interviewed by Jess Bravin of the Washington Post:
Bravin: Let’s talk about Bitch School. Some critics are suggesting that this song is demeaning to women.
Nigel: We’ve heard that before, and it’s frankly a mystery to us, because if you have half a brain, you’d realize the song is about dogs. It’s not about women at all.
Bravin: Some of the lyrics that have been cited: “I’m gonna chain you/ Make you sleep out of doors/ You’re so fetching when you’re down on all fours/ And when you hear your master/ You will come a little faster, thanks to/ Bitch School.”
Derek: See, it’s about dog training.
Nigel: That’s all. It’s about training, about the discipline of our female dogs.
David: Man’s best friend.
Nigel: And we, the three of us, are longtime dog lovers. It’s an ode, really.
Bravin: Then why are there no dogs in the video? Instead, you have a woman in leather and fishnet stockings using whips and chains to discipline a school filled with young women in skimpy clothes.
Derek: If it had been up to us, it would have been all dogs. The place would have been crawling with them.
Don’t do what I say.
You don’t listen,
And you never obey.
But you just won’t be good.
You won’t behave the way a big girl should.
It’s time to give that whip a crack.
I’m gonna have to send you back to
Bitch School.
You’re the best of your breed.
You’re a handful,
And I know what you need.
Gonna bring you to heel.
I’m gonna break you with my will of steel.
‘Cause discipline’s my middle name
And no one comes back the same from
Bitch School.
Or running free at night.
You think my bark’s bad, honey –
Wait till you feel my bite.
You whine and you beg.
When I’m busy,
You want to dance with my leg.
Make you sleep out of doors.
You’re so fetching when you’re down on all fours.
And when you hear your master,
You will come a little faster, thanks to
Bitch School.
Bitch School.
(Goin’ have to send you back to)
Bitch School.
