Best Line from Spinal Tap?
- Thread starter Killing Floor
- Start date
I also like that Sir Denis Eaton Hogg (President of Polymer Records) founded Hoggwood, a summer camp for pale young boys.
Christopher Guest, Nigel Tufnel in Spinal Tap is a great mockumentary writer and director. He has a whole series of various
activities he makes fun of brilliantly. But on the musical front his "A Mighty Wind" does the Spinal Tap treatment to Folk music.
Many of the actors in A Mighty Wind were in Spinal Tap as well as many of his other movies. Interestingly, they never really rehearsed scenes and ad lib-ed the dialogue for most of his films, Spinal Tap included. Guess who plays the stand up bass in A Mighty Wind?..... the three guys on the left in red shirts were the musicians in Spinal Tap.

Yep, I love that one, as a bass player and electrical engineer!
Late 1980's or early 1990's I had shoulder-length hair (don't have much of any hair anymore). I was out walking one day and a girl saw me and said to her mother, "Is he a boy or a girl?" And the mom said, "He's a boy." I've had very short hair for 11 years now, since most of it's gone on top. I was starting to look like Benjamin Franklin, and it wasn't a good look!
I use this when I'm mixing sound for another band to describe a diva (usually singer, sometimes guitar player) who wants ALL of the instruments in his/her monitor mix and and then is constantly asking for tweaks to that mix because they can't make anything out:
"I want everything louder than everything else."
"I want everything louder than everything else."
I have two:-
- '....looking like an....Australian's nightmare!'
- 'shag the napkin!'
My favorite is when they are sitting in a hotel room at night because the show got cancelled for lack of ticket sales and Cups and Cakes comes on the radio.Then at the end of the song the DJ says [going all the way back to 1965 for that one from the Thamesmen who later became Spinal Tap and are in the where are they now files] My God here they are in town and the local radio station doesn't even know it or that they still exist.Then one of the band members responds with a F--K You.Talking about a kick in the nuts.
Just had a spark of inspiration!
My next Band be original or cover.... wait for it.... "Puppet Show" featuring Jazz Oddessy!
Another subtle gem, from the end of "Stonehenge:"
"And what would they say to us... if we were here... tonight?"
"And what would they say to us... if we were here... tonight?"
Where a man's a man and the children dance to the pipes of Pan.
It's simply remarkable. Shakespearean.

I think all my favorites have been listed, but on the subject of the deleted scenes - my favorite is when they're in the record store and they all sign an album for a fan with a black marker and he can't see the signatures and they all try to show him how to hold the album at an angle to try and see them. Second half of this video (the first part's good too - kid wants them to sign a different album on train sounds).
They were still booing him when we came on. And, I'm just as god made me sir.
Referring to the black album, At the release party Ian Faith talking ti Bobby Flekmen” it wasn’t a whip that we wanted to put in the album “
Yeah, I always wondered if the guys wanted the album to be "Smell the Love". I know...OFFENSIVE!
