Break Like the Wind is a 1992 album by the fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap. The songs include a range of genres, from the Glam Metal anthem "Bitch School" down to the skiffle satire of "All the Way Home". The title, and the album's title track, is a Double entendre that combines and confuses the idiom "make like the wind" (also possibly a reference to the Christopher Cross song "Ride Like The Wind", famously covered by British heavy metal band Saxon) with "break wind", a euphemism for flatulence.
Originally, the CD was packaged in an 18-inch "extra-long box", as a satire against the controversial packaging policy of longboxes which was increasingly criticized as unnecessary and wasteful.
