"Spinal Tap"

2 songs - a rather moving piano solo piece called "Suck my love pump" and also the song where they have stonehenge props and midgets on stage. Brilliant.

that stonehenge thing actually happened to a friend of mine when he was on tour. except, sadly for him, it was his drum platform. so did the thing about getting lost in the catacombs of the arena they were playing in.

my favorite spinal tap song is "big bottoms"... "the looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand, you know what i mean."

that was about the only "mockumentary" that's really been worth the two hours or so it takes to watch it.

I was watching the BBC series 'History of Rock' (I think that was the title) many years ago and I remember the episode they did on Black Sabbath. I could have sworn that the entire Spinal Tap mockumentary was actually about them. Could be wrong. But both were equally hillarious.

that's the thing about spinal tap, all it does is point out that the reality of the situation depicted itself is hilarious, yet sad somehow. and this was a long time before paris hilton.

Rocky Horror Picture Show, can't remember they exact number, but it as to do with a transvestite vampire and a frankestein monster, oh yeah Meat Loaf was there too at one point. Always got a laugh out of me.

Especially if you go watch it in NYC around Halloween, good time guaranteed.

anyone got any favorite musical numbers from movies?

by "musical number" i mean the kind of thing where they actually PERFORM the song IN the movie... um... in some form, anyway.

at the moment mine is the version of "White Lines" they did in "Shaun Of the Dead."

I think you managed to confuse everyone on this one zeus.

That aside, where is the 'I ******* hate musicals' option? Iff'in thats what ya meant in the first place... :? :roll:

i dunno doesn't *look* like anyone's confused, at least out of the ones who posted.

"i ******* hate musicals" is included under the beer option. obviously. as is everything not included in the firs ttwo options.

but hey even if you hate musicals you surely cannot hate that brilliant musical number in "shaun of the dead."

This was truly a memorable moment in modern musicals. Lyrics posted for your enjoyment.

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'

That's what I said

The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand

Or so I have read

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo

I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo

Big bottom, big bottom

Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em

Big bottom drive me out of my mind

How could I leave this behind?

I met her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day

You know what I mean

I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day

You know what I mean

My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights

Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah

Big bottom, big bottom

Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em

Big bottom drive me out of my mind

How could I leave this behind?

For some reason I missed page 1 of this topic. ( I am with Thai friends).

Anyway, I voted for Big Bottom by Spinal Tap.

When that came out - I think it was '83, some people did not know it was a satire. One story I heard from people 'in the biz' was that some guys from that German band - Scorpions went to see it and thought it was all about them! They were so pissed off they walked out of the theater. So, when I listen to Scorpions I turn it up to... 11.

i got my history wrong then; i thought the Scorpions were a parody of Spinal Tap not the other way around :shock:

the influence of the scorpions, along with the eagles, are probably the reason i hate so much of of thai music. :evil:

A while ago, when I lived in Chiang Mai there was a bar in the charmingly named "bar beer center". The reason this bar was special? They had BANNED any songs from Hotel California. They cultivated a regular crew based on that point alone.

Never did like the Scorpions.... especially that really stupid and incredibly annoying whistling song. Almost as annoying as Guns and Roses Sweet Child of Mine

OK I'm old enough to know the song, but what movie was it in? One of the Beatles' movies? (Doubt it, they all came before the White Album didn't they? It's been ages since I've watched one of them.) A late Beatles' concert movie?
