Best Line from Spinal Tap?

I find myself using this on a surprising number of occasions:
"No one knows who they were... or.... what they were doing..."
I took this picture while at Stonehenge; the lady friend did not find it as amusing as I did.

That's amazing! That really elevates Tap to their proper historical context.
Reminds me of the Scorpions album love at first sting LOL!
What’s wrong with being sexy?
The outtakes on the DVD are almost as long, and as good as the main. Bruno Kirby singing Sinatra after they got him stoned in his leopard undies. "that's entertainment""AAHHHaaahhhAAAHHHAaahhh." (Nigel trying to verbally convey the sustain of one of his guitars to Marty DiBergi)
They also did another take on the sustain scene with him talking about the difference between Indian and Indonesia music. He plays the same note. Brilliant!
That's an American actor doing an "English" accent.
It's pretty obvious that Jeanine has misread Dolby, as "Dobly" somewhere along the line, which makes more sense as a joke.
I'm also pretty certain that the DVD, or the more recent Blu-ray actually said on the cover, that it was remixed in Dobly 5.1
If I knew where my DVD was buried, I'd dig it out, and check what the subtitles say during that scene.
Funny story about The White Album cover. There was supposed to be a lot more detail including some stains, but it was scrapped. I think it was going to be too expensive on a pricey package as it was with two records, four gloss photos, and a poster.
So the joke with the cover was that you would have a number on a thing that there were millions of therefore making the numbering ironic since who would care if you had one or the other if there were so many.
They abandoned the numbering system since they realized that they would be unable to coordinate the numbering across the world to avoid having duplicates of a number.
The black album reminds me of Metallica’s mostly black cover with the snake on it. Did they mean to do that?
Stone Henge is an amazing song. There are some interesting musical things happening in there.
Since the ‘SpinalTap’ movie came out years before Metallica released their black album - I always figured Metallica did it as a joke.

Right! The songs are pretty well written and period/genre appropriate for the most part. You could slip any song from the soundtrack into a party mix and only the rock musicians would know the gag.
OK, you win. YouTube is accurate and legal consent agreements are incorrect. Now I know.
And let us properly credit the first quote to the character Jeanine Pettibone.
May I start by saying how thrilled we are to have you here. We are such fans of your music and all of your records. Not yours personally, but the whole genre of rock'n'roll and the exciting things in music today. Let me explain what's going on. This is our monthly at ease weekend. It gives us a chance to let down our hair, although I see you have a head start! These haircuts wouldn't pass military muster! My hair's getting a little shaggy, too. Better not get too close. They'll think I'm in the band! I'm joking, of course.
As a "not joking matter", I got suspended from high school because my hair touched the top of my ears...OK, actually went slightly over that by about 1/4". That would have been 1966 or 67. It was my junior year of high school.
I had stayed home sick on the Friday and came back to school on Monday. They'd had a school assembly on Friday warning all the boys that they would be suspended if their hair touched their ears on Monday. So everyone was expected to get it done. I didn't get the word, didn't get it done, and got sent to the Dean by my PE teacher on Monday. He suspended me and put an "administrative U" (for unsatisfactory) on my permanent record. Was a real
head.Got it knocked down from a 4-day suspension to 1-day to get my hair cut, but always resented that jerk. It was a smirking power move by him. Ahhhhhh....the troubles and angst of being a teenager. That might be one of the reasons I wear my hair in a pony tail now... The bad news was that "U" stayed on my permanent record even though they promised to remove it as I found out almost 20-years later when I went back to school part time to work on a Computer Science degree. When I was asked about it and I explained it to them, they laughed .
Well that's a rough lesson. If it makes you feel better we're all really big fans of your music...As a "not joking matter", I got suspended from high school because my hair touched the top of my ears...OK, actually went slightly over that by about 1/4".
