"Still of the Night" is a song by English rock band Whitesnake from their seventh studio album, 1987.

The song, described as the group's epitome of the hair metal era, is known for its heavy riffs, dynamic structure, and vocals heavily inspired by Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant.

Both the current Whitesnake lineup and John Sykes play the song as their live encore.

In 2009, in an interview with Metal Hammer, Coverdale commented on the origins of the song:[9] "When my mother died I was going through the stuff at her house and found some early demo cassettes.

[10][11] Part of the video's set design was Coverdale's idea inspired by Elvis Presley's movie Jailhouse Rock, but "it's like much more idealized prison cells, but this was done with a big full moon.

[13][14] David Coverdale has denied this, stating that the song structure and the main riff were inspired by "Jailhouse Rock" and Jeff Beck's "Rice Pudding", respectively.
