Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Where Eagles Dare. By Songfacts®.

This song takes its name from the 1968 movie Where Eagles Dare, starring Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton. While many of the Misfits' songs were based on horror movies, Where Eagles Dare is an action film that takes place during World War II, and was adapted from a novel by the same name written by Alistair MacLean. While the lyrics, penned by Glenn Danzig, make allusions to aspects of subterfuge and warfare, there's little that points to it being a direct reference to the book or film.

"Where Eagles Dare" was originally released as a B-side to the Misfits' popular 1975 single "Night of the Living Dead," and versions of the song were included on the compilation albums Legacy of Brutality (1985) and Misfits (1986).
