[edit] Info

Spit It Out is the first single released by nu-metal band Slipknot off their self-titled second album. Their second single Wait and Bleed is thought by many fans to be their first single, but it was actually Spit It Out. The music video for "Spit It Out" is a parody of the movie The Shining.

Overall it is a swipe at the people who never thought they would amount to anything. It's chorus: "Spit it out! All you want do is drag me down. All I wanna do is stamp you out" reflects this.

During live performances, they do something they refer to as the 'Zero Bullshit'.This is shown in the "Duality" video. The only difference is in the video they do not crouch down. Near the end of the song there is a coda section where the music and singing (the lyrics being about people's doubts of their longevity) building up to a highly energetic section where Corey screams 'Fuck me, I'm all out of enemies' over and over. Before this begins, he tells the audience to crouch down and to jump up when he says 'Jump the fuck up'. He says this at the end of the coda, replacing the line 'good enough, had enough'.

There was a dispute in releasing this song as well. Band members Mick Thomson and Shawn Crahan where very enthusiastic about releasing "Surfacing"when the band were deciding which track to release from the album first. But this never happened.
