"Reptile" Is A Song By Australian Alternative Rock Band The Church. It Was Released As A Single From Their 1988 Album Starfish And The Songwriting Credits Are Given To All Four Members Of The Band. Inspired By A Real-Life Encounter With A Reptile "Reptile" Is Based Around A Prominent Guitar Riff. The Song Saw Moderate Commercial Success As A Single And Has Become One Of The Band's Most Famous Songs.
Marty Willson-Piper Peter Koppes Richard Ploog And Steve Kilbey Were All Credited With Writing The Song. In The Sleevenotes For The 2010 CD Reissue Of Starfish Willson-Piper Described The Process "sometimes A Song Can Be Mainly One Person's Idea Augmented By Everyone Else. Other Times A Song Really Is The Sum Of The Parts Working Magically Together. This Was The Case With ‘Reptile’". Sung By Kilbey The Song Features Lyrics Inspired By An Encounter Kilbey Had After Going With A Woman To Her Hotel Room. Kilbey Explained "I Went Home With This Woman One Night I Met In Canters Deli. I Went In The Bathroom ... And There Was A Sound Behind The Shower Curtain. I Look Behind The Shower Curtain And There Was A Great Big ... Lizard In There Looking At Me. ... And The Woman Goes 'Oh You Met Bruford' Or Whatever His ... Name Was. ... I Guess That Had Something To Do With It". Musically The Song As Stewart Mason Of AllMusic Described Is Based On A "nagging Stop-Start Guitar Riff That Continues Almost Unchanged Throughout The Entire Song Building A Palpable Tension Through The Verses That Is Only Partially Alleviated By Steve Kilbey's Sneering Chorus". Using One Unchanging Riff While The Rest Of The Song Moves Around It Was A Device The Church Had Used In Several Earlier Songs Such As "One Day" From 1983's Seance. Willson-Piper Recalled "I Wrote The Riff In A Rehearsal Room Somewhere In Sydney It Just Fell Out Of My Guitar Like A Diamond". Mason Continues "The Rattling Rhythm Section Only Adds To The Effect With Richard Ploog's Kinetic Hi-Hat Work Driving The Beat". Kilbey Said "I Think 'Reptile' Did Something We Never Quite Managed To Do Again And That Is The Way The Parts All Play Against Each Other. Like The Church Has Always Been A Band Where Its Not Everything Just Doing The Same Thing At The Same Time. Everything's Working Like A Machine. I Think That Was The Best Ever Example Of That".

"Reptile" is a song by Australian alternative rock band The Church. It was released as a single from their 1988 album Starfish, and the songwriting credits are given to all four members of the band.
Inspired by a real-life encounter with a reptile, "Reptile" is based around a prominent guitar riff. The song saw moderate commercial success as a single and has become one of the band's most famous songs.
Marty Willson-Piper, Peter Koppes, Richard Ploog, and Steve Kilbey were all credited with writing the song. In the sleevenotes for the 2010 CD reissue of Starfish, Willson-Piper described the process; "sometimes a song can be mainly one person's idea augmented by everyone else. Other times a song really is the sum of the parts working magically together. This was the case with ‘Reptile’".
Sung by Kilbey, the song features lyrics inspired by an encounter Kilbey had after going with a woman to her hotel room. Kilbey explained, "I went home with this woman one night I met in Canters Deli. I went in the bathroom ... and there was a sound behind the shower curtain. I look behind the shower curtain and there was a great big ... lizard in there, looking at me. ... And the woman goes, 'Oh, you met Bruford' or whatever his ... name was. ... I guess that had something to do with it".
Musically, the song, as Stewart Mason of AllMusic described, is based on a "nagging stop-start guitar riff that continues, almost unchanged, throughout the entire song, building a palpable tension through the verses that is only partially alleviated by Steve Kilbey's sneering chorus". Using one unchanging riff while the rest of the song moves around it was a device The Church had used in several earlier songs, such as "One Day" from 1983's Seance. Willson-Piper recalled, "I wrote the riff in a rehearsal room somewhere in Sydney; it just fell out of my guitar like a diamond".
Mason continues, "The rattling rhythm section only adds to the effect, with Richard Ploog's kinetic hi-hat work driving the beat". Kilbey said, "I think 'Reptile' did something we never quite managed to do again, and that is the way the parts all play against each other.
