"Boris" is a song by the Melvins from their 1991 album, Bullhead.[1] The song is a fan favorite and appears on the Melvins retrospective album/book Neither Here nor There and the live album Alive at the Fucker Club.[2] The Japanese doom/drone metal band Boris named themselves after this song.[3] The Boris song "Vomitself" from their album Amplifier Worship has a similar but slower riff at the start of the song.[original research?]

The song was covered by Isis and Agoraphobic Nosebleed on the 2005 tribute album We Reach: The Music of the Melvins, and by Boris and Japanese noise musician Merzbow on their 2020 collaborative album 2R0I2P0.
