Stumble This"No Son of Mine" is the first single by the British rock group Genesis from their 1991 album We Can't Dance, which reached #6 in the UK and #12 in the US.
The song's lyrics tell the story of a boy who runs away from his abusive home, and -- after some reconsideration -- attempts to return, only to be rebuked by his father. The video for this song is particularly dreary, illustrating the scene in sepia.
The song is notable for a distinctive sound heard during the intro and before the second verse. Referred to by the band as "elephantus," the sound was created by Tony Banks recording Mike Rutherford's guitar with a synthesizer and then playing three notes on the bottom register of the keyboard, greatly lowering the pitch.
