"Digging the Grave" is a song by Faith No More, released as the first single from their fifth studio album King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime, in 1995. Like the rest of the singles released from the album, it failed to chart in the US. However, the song became the band's fourth-highest charting single in the United Kingdom.
The song was released as a single on 28 February 1995, before the release of King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime. That March, the band appeared on the British television program Top of the Pops to promote the single, later performing it on MTV Europe, Canal+'s Nulle Part Ailleurs and The Jon Stewart Show. The single reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart, and number 12 on the Australian ARIA Charts; becoming the 91st most-played song on Australian radio that year. The song was featured on an episode of Beavis and Butt-head and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia in the Season 11 episode "Being Frank" , in addition to the soundtrack of the 1996 Italian film Jack Frusciante è uscito dal gruppo. A video for the song was recorded, directed by Marcus Raboy, who was credited as Alan Smithee. The video featured Roddy Bottom, the band's keyboard player, on guitar; and was later included on the collection Who Cares a Lot?: The Greatest Videos.
