It is the first and only single from the album To Beast or Not to Beast, released on February 8, 2013.[1] The band has also made a music video for the song. [2] It's also the very first Lordi song that has been released also as an official lyrics video.[1] Lordi performed "The Riff" in a German television competition Wok WM in 2013.[3] The song is also featured in a Pinball Rocks app game.[4] Track listing
Music videoThe music video of "The Riff" was filmed exclusively in Czech Republic, in a local supermarket Albert. The video was filmed by Martin Muller. A Czech playmate Dominika Jandlova is featured in the video. The music video got censored by the label Sony Music; they didn't let Dominika Jandlova appear naked in the video.[5] The songThe lyrics speak figuratively about a near-death experience narrated in the first person. The narrator meets and is offered transport by the grim reaper, which he tries to refuse. The grim reaper insists he "take a peek", referencing visions of the afterlife frequently encountered in near-death experiences. The grim reaper plays a song on guitar and asks the narrator for his honest opinion, to which he uncomfortably replies that "the riff is a killer, but the rest is a throw-away". The grim reaper subsequently dies, and the narrator plagiarises his song, signifying resuscitation and drawing inspiration from the experience.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.lordiarmy.com/theriff.htm |title=The Riff (2013) |publisher=LORDI Army |date= |accessdate=2014-02-02}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/lordi-the-riff-video-released/ |title=Lordi - The Riff video released |publisher=Blabbermouth.net |date= |accessdate=2014-02-02}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lordiarmy.com/lordiontvshows.htm |title=Lordi in TV-shows |publisher=LORDI Army |date= |accessdate=2014-02-02}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lordi.fi/2013/07/26/the-riff-on-pinball-rocks-app-game-on-the-appstore/ |title=The Riff on Pinball Rocks app game on the appstore |publisher=Lordi.fi |date= |accessdate=2014-02-02}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lordiarmy.com/musicvideotheriff.htm |title=The Riff music video (2013) |publisher=LORDI Army |date= |accessdate=2014-02-02}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lordiarmy.com/lyricstbontb.htm |title=Lyrics To Beast or Not to Beast |publisher=LORDI Army |date= |accessdate=2014-02-02}} External links
