"Feel So Numb" was the lead single from Rob Zombie's second studio album, The Sinister Urge, landing on Geffen on October 14, 2001, and it's pure grindhouse overload. Zombie wrote it with Scott Humphrey and produced it himself, and he stuffs the intro with B-movie junk: a solemn Spanish oath to defend good and fight injustice lifted from the 1968 Mexican film Los Canallas, which starred the wrestler Mil Máscaras, a cackle borrowed from Horror Rises from the Tomb and a noise out of I Drink Your Blood. Then the industrial metal machinery grinds into gear, all chugging riffs and snarled hooks.
The wrestling world bit back. WWE made it the theme of its No Way Out pay-per-view, and it also turned up on the Rollerball soundtrack and in the racing game FlatOut 2.
