"Hats Off to the Bull" is a song by American rock band Chevelle. It is the second single [1] from the band's sixth studio album, Hats Off to the Bull. The song also appears on the band's greatest hits album, Stray Arrows: A Collection of Favorites.
It is an anti- animal cruelty song. [3]
Loudwire ranked it the seventh greatest Chevelle song. [4] AOL Radio called it the ninth best rock song of 2011. [5]
A music video was released for the song via the band's Vevo and YouTube accounts on April 18, 2012 [6] and was directed by P.R. Brown, who also directed the video for previous single "Face to the Floor". [7]
The video begins with the band members waking up on the street, bloodied and bruised, before they are attacked by an unseen force. The unseen force is revealed to be a kid, playing with toy figures of the band, much like a voodoo doll. The video ends with the kid stepping on the toys, killing the band members and zooms in to reveal he is holding a toy figurine of a bull.
