This Is Spinal Tap
|
| 00:00:19 |
Hello. My name is Marty DiBergi. |
| 00:00:21 |
I'm a filmmaker. |
| 00:00:25 |
That dog that chases the covered wagon |
| 00:00:31 |
In 1966, |
| 00:00:34 |
I went down to Greenwich Village |
| 00:00:39 |
Don't look for it. It's not there any more. |
| 00:00:44 |
that, for me, |
| 00:00:47 |
I remember being knocked out by their... |
| 00:00:53 |
and their punctuality. |
| 00:00:56 |
That band was Britain's |
| 00:01:00 |
17 years and 15 albums later, |
| 00:01:07 |
And they've earned a place in rock history |
| 00:01:13 |
So in the late fall of 1982, |
| 00:01:15 |
when I heard that Tap was releasing |
| 00:01:20 |
and was planning a tour of the US |
| 00:01:24 |
I jumped at the chance |
| 00:01:28 |
the, if you will, rockumentary |
| 00:01:33 |
I wanted to capture the sights, |
| 00:01:38 |
of a hard-working rock band on the road. |
| 00:01:42 |
And I got that. |
| 00:01:44 |
But I got more. |
| 00:01:46 |
A lot more. |
| 00:01:48 |
But enough of my yakkin'. |
| 00:02:02 |
Gives me energy. Makes me happy. |
| 00:02:04 |
Heavy metal's deep. |
| 00:02:06 |
The way they dress, the leather. |
| 00:02:08 |
- Is this La Guardia? |
| 00:02:18 |
Watch its mouth! |
| 00:02:31 |
It's like you become one with the guys |
| 00:02:37 |
You just... |
| 00:02:39 |
The music just unites people... |
| 00:02:44 |
Comin' live, direct from hell... Spinal Tap! |
| 00:02:49 |
You're hot, you take all we've got. |
| 00:02:54 |
Next day we'll be on our way |
| 00:02:56 |
- But tonight I'm gonna rock you |
| 00:02:59 |
- Yeah, tonight I'm gonna rock you |
| 00:03:01 |
Tonight! |
| 00:03:08 |
We are Spinal Tap from the UK! |
| 00:03:16 |

Little girl, it's a great big world |
| 00:03:46 |
Me! |
| 00:04:09 |
Let's talk about your history. |
| 00:04:11 |
Nigel, you and David originally started |
| 00:04:18 |
Before that I was in a group |
| 00:04:22 |
I was in Lovely Lads, |
| 00:04:25 |
and said we might as well join up, |
| 00:04:29 |
So we became The Originals. |
| 00:04:34 |
There was another group |
| 00:04:37 |
- And we had to rename ourselves. |
| 00:04:41 |
- Then they became... |
| 00:04:45 |
so we could've been The Originals, |
| 00:04:48 |
We became |
| 00:04:53 |
Stop wastin' my time |
| 00:04:54 |
"POP, LOOK & LISTEN" |
| 00:04:56 |
You know what I want |
| 00:05:00 |
You know what I need |
| 00:05:03 |
Or maybe you don't |
| 00:05:07 |
Do I have to come right flat out |
| 00:05:12 |
Gimme some money |
| 00:05:15 |
Gimme some money |
| 00:05:25 |
Your first drummer was... |
| 00:05:26 |
- The Peeper. |
| 00:05:30 |
Tall, blond geek with glasses. |
| 00:05:34 |
- Good drummer. |
| 00:05:37 |
- What happened to him? |
| 00:05:40 |
He died in a bizarre gardening accident |
| 00:05:44 |
It was one of those things. |
| 00:05:46 |
It was... the authorities said |
| 00:05:48 |
best leave it, you know, unsolved, |
| 00:05:52 |
- And he was replaced by? |
| 00:05:56 |
And what happened to Stumpy Joe? |
| 00:05:59 |
Well, it's not a very pleasant story. |
| 00:06:02 |
- But, er... he died. |
| 00:06:05 |
He choked on... The official explanation |
| 00:06:12 |
- And he passed away. |
| 00:06:17 |
There's no real... |
| 00:06:19 |
They can't prove whose vomit it was. |
| 00:06:22 |
They don't have facilities |
| 00:06:25 |
You can't really dust for vomit. |
| 00:06:28 |
Here we go. |
| 00:06:30 |
- SoHo, they call this. SoHo. |
| 00:06:35 |
OPENING NIGHT PARTY |
| 00:06:40 |
How are you?! |
| 00:06:43 |
lan... Hi, fellas! |
| 00:06:47 |
How ya doin'? |
| 00:06:49 |
I want you to meet everybody. |
| 00:06:51 |
- Bobbi Flekman. |
| 00:06:53 |
- Bobbi Flekman. |
| 00:06:57 |
Yes, Bobbi Flekman! |
| 00:07:02 |
You know! You know! |
| 00:07:04 |
Hi, handsome. How ya doin'? |
| 00:07:06 |
I want you to all meet Sir Denis |
| 00:07:11 |
You don't talk so much. |
| 00:07:14 |
Denis, come here! Come here. |
| 00:07:17 |
I want you to meet Spinal Tap, |
| 00:07:20 |
- How very nice to meet you. |
| 00:07:23 |
- This is Nigel. |
| 00:07:28 |
Let's go over here |
| 00:07:31 |
Where's my photographer? Come here, |
| 00:07:36 |
OK, right over here. |
| 00:07:40 |
Good! Good! |
| 00:07:41 |
- He's not into Negro music. |
| 00:07:45 |
Guys, you look fantastic. |
| 00:07:50 |
If I looked this good |
| 00:07:53 |
- I did the bird. |
| 00:07:55 |
Get the dwarf cannolies. |
| 00:07:57 |
- I did the bird. |
| 00:08:01 |
Now, we here at Polymer, |
| 00:08:05 |
and fruitful relationship with Spinal Tap. |
| 00:08:08 |
We wish them great success |
| 00:08:13 |
And so say all of us - Tap into America! |
| 00:08:23 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:08:26 |
- Yeah. Have you read it? |
| 00:08:29 |
Yeah. |
| 00:08:30 |
You know what the title |
| 00:08:33 |
Yes, I Can... If Frank Sinatra Says It's OK. |
| 00:08:37 |
Cos Frank calls the shots |
| 00:08:40 |
Did you get to the part yet where |
| 00:08:44 |
and it's about three o'clock |
| 00:08:48 |
Frank's walkin' down Broadway |
| 00:08:53 |
Fuckin' limeys. |
| 00:08:56 |
Well, they're not used to that world, |
| 00:09:00 |
It's a different world that they're in. |
| 00:09:02 |
You know, it's just people like this, |
| 00:09:07 |
so they don't really understand |
| 00:09:11 |
You know, when you've loved and lost |
| 00:09:14 |
then you know what life's about. |
| 00:09:17 |
The New York Times may do something. |
| 00:09:19 |
IAN FAITH |
| 00:09:21 |
When do we get the album released? |
| 00:09:23 |
It doesn't matter how good the press is... |
| 00:09:26 |
As I explained last night, we're not gonna |
| 00:09:31 |
Now, Philly is a real rock'n'roll town. |
| 00:09:34 |
The album will be available |
| 00:09:39 |
So you are hitting that market... |
| 00:09:42 |
We're certainly... |
| 00:09:45 |
You know that we're not blaming you. |
| 00:09:47 |
But these guys have |
| 00:09:50 |
Kids go to their concert, |
| 00:09:53 |
But it's... It's a passing thing. It's, uh... |
| 00:09:57 |
I would never tell them this, |
| 00:10:13 |
FIDELITY HALL |
| 00:10:24 |
The bigger the cushion, |
| 00:10:29 |
That's what I said |
| 00:10:32 |
The looser the waistband, |
| 00:10:37 |
Or so I have read |
| 00:10:41 |
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo |
| 00:10:46 |
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo |
| 00:10:50 |
Big bottom |
| 00:10:52 |
Big bottom |
| 00:10:54 |
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em |
| 00:10:59 |
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind |
| 00:11:03 |
How could I leave this behind? |
| 00:11:13 |
I met her on Monday, |
| 00:11:17 |
You know what I mean |
| 00:11:21 |
I love her each weekday, |
| 00:11:26 |
You know what I mean |
| 00:11:30 |
My love gun's loaded |
| 00:11:34 |
Big game is waiting there |
| 00:11:39 |
Big bottom |
| 00:11:41 |
Big bottom |
| 00:11:43 |
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em |
| 00:11:48 |
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind |
| 00:11:51 |
How could I leave this behind? |
| 00:12:03 |
Let's talk about your reviews, |
| 00:12:07 |
"This tasteless cover is a good indication |
| 00:12:12 |
"The musical growth rate of this band |
| 00:12:16 |
"They're treading water in a sea |
| 00:12:20 |
That's nit-picking. |
| 00:12:21 |
The Gospel According To Spinal Tap. |
| 00:12:24 |
"This pretentious, ponderous collection |
| 00:12:28 |
is enough to prompt the question, |
| 00:12:30 |
what day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, |
| 00:12:33 |
and couldn't he have rested |
| 00:12:36 |
I never heard that one. That's a good one. |
| 00:12:39 |
The review on Shark Sandwich, which |
| 00:12:44 |
"Shit sandwich." |
| 00:12:47 |
- Where did that appear? |
| 00:12:51 |
RECORDING INDUSTRY CONVENTION |
| 00:12:53 |
All those arguments about touring... |
| 00:12:58 |
All that stuff about you being |
| 00:13:03 |
What about the album, lan? |
| 00:13:07 |
There's no way |
| 00:13:11 |
It's just that they're |
| 00:13:15 |
with new packaging materials. |
| 00:13:17 |
Experimenting? |
| 00:13:20 |
The other thing is |
| 00:13:24 |
I wouldn't worry about it. |
| 00:13:30 |
You boys got an album |
| 00:13:33 |
Smell The Glove. It should be out... |
| 00:13:36 |
- Smell The Glove? |
| 00:13:38 |
- Provocative title. |
| 00:13:42 |
Very provocative indeed. |
| 00:13:44 |
Bobbi, can I tear you away from all this? |
| 00:13:48 |
- Do you have a drink? |
| 00:13:51 |
But, um, listen. I really do have to |
| 00:13:55 |
lan, just tell me what's on your mind. |
| 00:13:57 |
- The issue of the cover. |
| 00:14:00 |
Um... we, er, I mean, we feel, |
| 00:14:04 |
that the company's rather down |
| 00:14:07 |
- Yes. |
| 00:14:10 |
Listen... they don't like the cover. |
| 00:14:12 |
- Well, that's straight. |
| 00:14:16 |
What do you find offensive? |
| 00:14:18 |
lan, you put a greased, |
| 00:14:23 |
with a dog collar around her neck |
| 00:14:26 |
and a man's arm extended out up to here |
| 00:14:30 |
holding onto the leash and pushing |
| 00:14:35 |
You don't find that offensive and sexist? |
| 00:14:38 |
- This is 1982! |
| 00:14:41 |
We don't have this mentality any more. |
| 00:14:44 |
You should've seen the cover |
| 00:14:47 |
This is something you have to talk about. |
| 00:14:50 |
- We're not laying down any conditions... |
| 00:14:55 |
You tell me - The White Album? |
| 00:14:58 |
There was nothing |
| 00:15:01 |
Excuse me. We'll talk about this after. |
| 00:15:05 |
Hello? |
| 00:15:06 |
Oh, hi, Denis. |
| 00:15:09 |
Uh-uh. OK. |
| 00:15:13 |
OK, hold on. Lan, it's Eton-Hogg. |
| 00:15:18 |
- OK. Thank you, darling. |
| 00:15:22 |
Hello? Sir Denis! |
| 00:15:24 |
Hi. How are you? |
| 00:15:28 |
Oh... |
| 00:15:31 |
Fuckin' old poofter! |
| 00:15:34 |
But it's really not that offensive, |
| 00:15:39 |
OK. I'll call you |
| 00:15:44 |
Oh, shit! |
| 00:15:48 |
because they have decided |
| 00:15:52 |
So what? What's wrong with being sexy? |
| 00:15:55 |
Sex-ist! |
| 00:15:57 |
OK, I wanted to tell you this, |
| 00:15:59 |
but I didn't know |
| 00:16:03 |
But at this point, |
| 00:16:06 |
won't handle the album. They're |
| 00:16:11 |
If the company is behind an album, |
| 00:16:15 |
Money talks and bullshit walks. |
| 00:16:17 |
And if the first album was a hit, |
| 00:16:22 |
- Every cut on this album... |
| 00:16:26 |
It was a joke |
| 00:16:29 |
If we said she should be forced |
| 00:16:34 |
then you'd have a point. |
| 00:16:37 |
- We're making fun of it. |
| 00:16:41 |
But not over and over. |
| 00:16:43 |
We can work something out. I'll talk to |
| 00:16:48 |
A new design concept |
| 00:16:51 |
- You guys were schoolmates? |
| 00:16:56 |
- What's on your finger? |
| 00:16:58 |
- Why is it on your finger? |
| 00:17:01 |
- Put it on the table. It's terrible. |
| 00:17:05 |
- Can't take him anywhere! |
| 00:17:09 |
About eight years old. Eight or nine. |
| 00:17:12 |
- You were eight and I was seven. |
| 00:17:16 |
Do you remember |
| 00:17:20 |
All The Way Home. |
| 00:17:21 |
- All The Way Home? |
| 00:17:23 |
Can you remember it? |
| 00:17:26 |
Christ! Some black coffee, |
| 00:17:30 |
How's it go? |
| 00:17:32 |
- I was standin' |
| 00:17:37 |
And I'm waitin' for that train |
| 00:17:40 |
Bring you back |
| 00:17:43 |
If she's... |
| 00:17:47 |
Then I'm gonna |
| 00:17:50 |
And I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, |
| 00:17:54 |
- All the way home |
| 00:17:56 |
- All the way home |
| 00:17:59 |
- Cry... cry, cry, all the way home. |
| 00:18:03 |
There was about six words in it. |
| 00:18:08 |
Let's talk about your music today. |
| 00:18:10 |
One thing that puzzles me, um, |
| 00:18:15 |
It seems to be predominantly young boys. |
| 00:18:20 |
Well, it's a sexual thing. |
| 00:18:22 |
Aside from |
| 00:18:25 |
there's also, like, |
| 00:18:29 |
Really, they're quite fearful. |
| 00:18:32 |
They see us onstage with tight trousers... |
| 00:18:36 |
We've got, you know, |
| 00:18:39 |
It's really quite frightening, the size. |
| 00:18:41 |
And... and they run screaming. |
| 00:18:44 |
VANDERMINT AUDITORIUM |
| 00:18:49 |
lan, can I have a word with you? |
| 00:18:51 |
Yes, of course. What? |
| 00:18:54 |
There are a couple of problems |
| 00:18:59 |
- What exactly? |
| 00:19:02 |
I don't even know where to start. |
| 00:19:05 |
- Sound check? What? |
| 00:19:08 |
There's a problem with... Look. This. |
| 00:19:11 |
This miniature bread. I've been working |
| 00:19:16 |
I can't figure out... Let's say |
| 00:19:20 |
- You'd like bigger bread? |
| 00:19:23 |
You could fold this. |
| 00:19:25 |
- Then it's half the size. |
| 00:19:28 |
- Then it breaks apart like this. |
| 00:19:33 |
- But if you fold it, it breaks. |
| 00:19:36 |
Everything has to be folded. |
| 00:19:39 |
And then it's this, and I don't want this. |
| 00:19:46 |
So then it's like this, |
| 00:19:51 |
Because it hangs out? |
| 00:19:52 |
- Would you hold this? |
| 00:19:57 |
And then we move on to this. Look! Look! |
| 00:20:00 |
Who's in here? No one. |
| 00:20:04 |
It's a complete catastrophe! |
| 00:20:06 |
You're right, Nigel, |
| 00:20:09 |
- It's no big deal. It's a joke. |
| 00:20:12 |
It's just some cracker university. |
| 00:20:14 |
I don't want it to affect your performance. |
| 00:20:17 |
It won't affect my performance. |
| 00:20:21 |
I just hate it. It does disturb me. |
| 00:20:30 |
It's better in a hellhole |
| 00:20:34 |
You know where you stand in a hellhole |
| 00:20:38 |
Folks lend a hand in a hellhole |
| 00:20:42 |
Girl, get me back to my hellhole |
| 00:21:40 |
Do Stonehenge! |
| 00:21:42 |
Do you play... |
| 00:21:46 |
I play them and I cherish them. |
| 00:21:48 |
This is at the top of the heap. |
| 00:21:50 |
No question about it. |
| 00:21:54 |
It's just... It's quite unbelievable. |
| 00:21:57 |
This one is just... It's perfect, 1959. |
| 00:22:01 |
You know, it just... Listen. |
| 00:22:03 |
- How much... |
| 00:22:06 |
- The sustain-listen to it. |
| 00:22:09 |
You would if it were playing. |
| 00:22:14 |
- You can just hold it... |
| 00:22:17 |
You can go and have a bite |
| 00:22:21 |
- Can you hold this a sec? |
| 00:22:24 |
This one... This, of course, |
| 00:22:27 |
This is my radio unit. |
| 00:22:29 |
So I strap this piece on |
| 00:22:35 |
- It's a wireless. |
| 00:22:37 |
- I can play without all the muck. |
| 00:22:41 |
This is special, too. Look, see? |
| 00:22:44 |
It's still got the tagger on it. |
| 00:22:48 |
- You just bought it... |
| 00:22:50 |
I wasn't gonna touch it. |
| 00:22:52 |
- I was just pointing at it. |
| 00:22:54 |
- Don't even point? |
| 00:22:58 |
- Can I look at it? |
| 00:23:00 |
This is what we use onstage. |
| 00:23:03 |
But it's very, very special |
| 00:23:07 |
the numbers all go to 11. |
| 00:23:10 |
Look. Right across the board. |
| 00:23:14 |
- And most amps go up to ten? |
| 00:23:17 |
- Does that mean it's louder? |
| 00:23:21 |
It's not ten. See, most blokes |
| 00:23:25 |
You're on ten here, |
| 00:23:29 |
You're on ten-where can you go |
| 00:23:33 |
- I don't know. |
| 00:23:35 |
If we need that extra push over the cliff, |
| 00:23:39 |
- Put it up to 11. |
| 00:23:42 |
Why don't you make ten louder, |
| 00:23:46 |
and make that a little louder? |
| 00:23:50 |
These go to 11. |
| 00:23:53 |
Are you Spinal Tap? |
| 00:23:54 |
- This is Spinal Tap. |
| 00:23:56 |
- Gentlemen, we have a slight problem. |
| 00:24:01 |
- You wanted seven suites. |
| 00:24:04 |
He's put you on |
| 00:24:07 |
That's considerably more than minor. |
| 00:24:09 |
But it's a good-sized room. |
| 00:24:13 |
How are we going to get 14 people |
| 00:24:16 |
- Don't tempt me, sir. |
| 00:24:19 |
- I'll take care of it. |
| 00:24:22 |
- Very attractive... |
| 00:24:24 |
We want these suites. These people are |
| 00:24:28 |
- What's the problem? |
| 00:24:31 |
I'll tell you what's wrong. |
| 00:24:35 |
- Tells me that... |
| 00:24:38 |
What's the difference between |
| 00:24:42 |
Uh-oh, here they come. |
| 00:24:44 |
Duke! Duke! Would you... |
| 00:24:48 |
Can I have your autograph? |
| 00:24:50 |
Duke. It's OK, we know him. |
| 00:24:54 |
- David St Hubbins, Spinal Tap. |
| 00:24:56 |
Derek Smalls. |
| 00:24:58 |
- We gotta get going. |
| 00:25:01 |
We're doin' the... Enormo Dome. |
| 00:25:05 |
That's a big place. You sold it out?! |
| 00:25:08 |
We really should run, you know. |
| 00:25:11 |
Good heavens! How are you? |
| 00:25:15 |
- Um... Liam! |
| 00:25:18 |
lan! |
| 00:25:19 |
We'd love to chat, but we gotta sit |
| 00:25:24 |
- OK. |
| 00:25:27 |
- Cheers! |
| 00:25:30 |
Great. Great to see you. |
| 00:25:32 |
- Good days. Good days. |
| 00:25:35 |
Fuckin' wanker. What a wanker. |
| 00:25:38 |
He's got this much talent. |
| 00:25:41 |
We had to apologise for him with our set. |
| 00:25:44 |
People were still booin' him |
| 00:25:48 |
- We got our rooms. Big fat suites. |
| 00:25:52 |
Have you seen |
| 00:25:55 |
- Um... yes. |
| 00:25:57 |
- No, I don't think I have. |
| 00:26:01 |
It's, like, naked women and... |
| 00:26:04 |
He's tied down to this table and they've |
| 00:26:09 |
- What's your point? |
| 00:26:13 |
He releases that and he's number three. |
| 00:26:16 |
But he's the victim. Their objections |
| 00:26:20 |
If the singer's the victim, it's not sexist. |
| 00:26:23 |
- He did a twist on it. |
| 00:26:27 |
If we'd had you guys tied up, |
| 00:26:30 |
It's such a fine line between stupid and... |
| 00:26:34 |
- And clever. |
| 00:26:36 |
I have a piece of bad news. |
| 00:26:40 |
We're, er... we're cancelled here. |
| 00:26:43 |
- At the hotel? |
| 00:26:47 |
Fuck! |
| 00:26:48 |
"Memphis show cancelled |
| 00:26:53 |
The last time Tap toured America, they |
| 00:26:59 |
and 15,000-seat venues. And it seems |
| 00:27:04 |
they're being booked into |
| 00:27:09 |
I was wondering, does this mean |
| 00:27:13 |
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. |
| 00:27:17 |
I just think that... that their appeal |
| 00:27:23 |
I notice you got this cricket bat here. |
| 00:27:26 |
- Do you play? |
| 00:27:30 |
I don't know. Sort of... |
| 00:27:34 |
- I suppose... What's the word? |
| 00:27:37 |
Yes. It's a kind of totemistic thing, |
| 00:27:40 |
To be frank, it's come in useful |
| 00:27:44 |
Certainly in the |
| 00:27:47 |
Having a good solid piece of wood |
| 00:27:52 |
I miss you too, darling. |
| 00:27:55 |
Um, not too well, actually. |
| 00:27:57 |
We got to Memphis |
| 00:28:01 |
And we find out |
| 00:28:04 |
has pulled out of St Louis |
| 00:28:08 |
and, um, |
| 00:28:10 |
oh, Des Moines. |
| 00:28:12 |
I don't know. It's in Indiana or something. |
| 00:28:17 |
I thought... |
| 00:28:19 |
Oh, don't tease me. That's not until April. |
| 00:28:22 |
Great! We'll do it! Oh, fuckin' great! |
| 00:28:27 |
Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. |
| 00:28:30 |
I have no idea. |
| 00:28:33 |
and then go to Milwaukee from there. |
| 00:28:37 |
Oh, God, I love you too! |
| 00:28:39 |
OK. Bye. |
| 00:28:44 |
Well, my problems are solved, mate. |
| 00:28:48 |
She was supposed to do this window |
| 00:28:54 |
- Is she coming to drop some stuff off? |
| 00:28:58 |
She's gonna travel with us. |
| 00:29:02 |
She says she can hear that |
| 00:29:05 |
She says my larynx is fat. |
| 00:29:08 |
You might want to come next door. |
| 00:29:14 |
Are you happy for me? |
| 00:29:20 |
- I don't believe it! |
| 00:29:28 |
How sad it must end |
| 00:29:31 |
Sharing cups and cakes with me |
| 00:29:35 |
And cakes with me |
| 00:29:40 |
Oh, yeah! Goin' all the way back to 1965! |
| 00:29:44 |
Doesn't it feel good with |
| 00:29:49 |
The Thames Men later became Spinal Tap |
| 00:29:53 |
They're currently in the |
| 00:29:57 |
Johnny Q with you on Golden 106, |
| 00:30:02 |
I'm not sure this was a good idea. |
| 00:30:05 |
GRACELAND |
| 00:30:08 |
He was gonna do a TV special |
| 00:30:12 |
Yeah, a musical version |
| 00:30:18 |
Well, since my baby left me |
| 00:30:21 |
I found a new place to dwell |
| 00:30:24 |
Well, it's down at the end |
| 00:30:27 |
At Heartbreak Hotel |
| 00:30:30 |
- Do it with the harmony parts. |
| 00:30:33 |
Well, since my baby |
| 00:30:35 |
The same key, though, I think. |
| 00:30:37 |
Well, since my baby left me |
| 00:30:39 |
If I'm going: |
| 00:30:44 |
- Me |
| 00:30:47 |
Since my baby left me |
| 00:30:50 |
Well, I found a new place to dwell |
| 00:30:54 |
- That's all right. |
| 00:30:57 |
- It sounds raga. You don't wanna go raga. |
| 00:31:01 |
- Since my baby left me |
| 00:31:04 |
- Barbershop raga. |
| 00:31:06 |
- You're in the presence of the King. |
| 00:31:11 |
This is thoroughly depressing. |
| 00:31:14 |
Really puts a perspective on things, |
| 00:31:16 |
Too much. There's too much fuckin' |
| 00:31:21 |
In 1967, that was the first time |
| 00:31:26 |
The whole world was changing |
| 00:31:28 |
We had the world's ear because we had |
| 00:31:33 |
- Listen To The Flower People. |
| 00:31:35 |
We toured the world. |
| 00:31:38 |
- Toured the world and elsewhere. |
| 00:31:41 |
Listen to what the flower people say |
| 00:31:46 |
"JAMBOREEPOP" |
| 00:31:50 |
Listen, it's getting louder every day |
| 00:31:59 |
Listen, it's like a bolt out of the blue |
| 00:32:08 |
Listen, it could be calling out for you |
| 00:32:32 |
In the Flower People period, |
| 00:32:35 |
Stumpy's replacement, |
| 00:32:38 |
He also died in mysterious |
| 00:32:41 |
We were playing a jazz blues festival. |
| 00:32:44 |
- Blues jazz, really. |
| 00:32:47 |
That was in the Isle... |
| 00:32:50 |
The Isle of Lucy jazz and blues festival. |
| 00:32:52 |
And it was tragic, really. |
| 00:32:57 |
- Just like that. |
| 00:32:59 |
He just was like a flash of green light... |
| 00:33:03 |
- And that was it. Nothing was left. |
| 00:33:07 |
There was a little green globule |
| 00:33:10 |
- Like a stain, really. |
| 00:33:14 |
You know, several... dozens of people |
| 00:33:18 |
It's just not really widely reported. |
| 00:33:22 |
SHANK HALL |
| 00:33:24 |
Testing! |
| 00:33:26 |
Test, test, test. |
| 00:33:28 |
This is mike number one. |
| 00:33:30 |
OK, he's got the mikes. |
| 00:33:32 |
Let's do GSM, all right? GSM. |
| 00:33:39 |
Stop wastin' my time |
| 00:33:42 |
You know what I want |
| 00:33:44 |
Heavy up! |
| 00:33:46 |
You know what I n-n-n-need |
| 00:33:50 |
Or maybe you don't |
| 00:33:54 |
Or do I have to come right |
| 00:33:59 |
Gimme some money! |
| 00:34:04 |
Gimme some money! |
| 00:34:07 |
Oh, yeah |
| 00:34:14 |
Hello, darling! |
| 00:34:17 |
Hello! I've got a surprise for you! |
| 00:34:19 |
- Where'd you come from? |
| 00:34:23 |
The bloody aeroplane, didn't I? Right? |
| 00:34:28 |
David? |
| 00:34:29 |
David? David? |
| 00:34:33 |
David? |
| 00:34:34 |
Oh, that feels good! |
| 00:34:37 |
Oh, I've been wanting to do that |
| 00:34:42 |
- Want me to carry it about with me? |
| 00:34:45 |
That's the film crew. I told you about this. |
| 00:34:48 |
- Martin, this is Jeanine. |
| 00:34:53 |
Here it is! Here it is, lads! |
| 00:34:57 |
Smell The Glove, me old beauties! |
| 00:35:00 |
Gather round. Where's David? |
| 00:35:02 |
David! David, get up here! |
| 00:35:05 |
David, Smell The Glove is here. |
| 00:35:08 |
The moment we've all been waiting for! |
| 00:35:11 |
- I never thought I'd see the day. |
| 00:35:16 |
- What do you think? |
| 00:35:19 |
No, this is it. |
| 00:35:21 |
- This is Smell The Glove by Spinal Tap? |
| 00:35:26 |
- That's going out across the country. |
| 00:35:30 |
- Is it going to say anything here? |
| 00:35:32 |
- So it's just gonna be all black? |
| 00:35:37 |
It does look like black leather. |
| 00:35:42 |
It's like a black mirror. |
| 00:35:44 |
I think it looks like death. |
| 00:35:47 |
Every movie in every cinema |
| 00:35:52 |
I think he's right. There's something |
| 00:35:56 |
it's, like, how much more black could |
| 00:36:02 |
You're rationalising this whole thing |
| 00:36:08 |
I think we're stuck with a very stupid |
| 00:36:12 |
It's something you wear around your arm. |
| 00:36:17 |
This is the turning point, OK? |
| 00:36:22 |
It's time... It's time to kick arse. |
| 00:36:57 |
When there was darkness |
| 00:37:01 |
And ruled the elements |
| 00:37:05 |
When there was silence, and the hush |
| 00:37:08 |
Was almost deafening |
| 00:37:15 |
- Out of the emptiness |
| 00:37:19 |
Salvation |
| 00:37:22 |
Rhythm and light and sound |
| 00:37:25 |
'Twas a rock'n'roll creation |
| 00:37:29 |
'Twas a terrible big bang |
| 00:37:32 |
It was the ultimate mutation |
| 00:37:36 |
Yin was searching for his Yang |
| 00:37:39 |
And he looked |
| 00:37:55 |
I look to the stars |
| 00:38:02 |
I look in the mirror and see what I fear |
| 00:38:24 |
'Tis the rock'n'roll creation |
| 00:38:28 |
'Tis the absolute rebirth |
| 00:38:31 |
It is the rolling of the ocean |
| 00:38:35 |
And the rocking of the earth |
| 00:38:38 |
And I looked and I saw that it was good |
| 00:39:06 |
Given the history of Spinal Tap |
| 00:39:10 |
do you have any fears, uh... for your life? |
| 00:39:14 |
When I did join, they did tell me. |
| 00:39:17 |
They took me aside and said, |
| 00:39:21 |
And it did kind of freak me out a bit, |
| 00:39:26 |
but it can't always happen to every... |
| 00:39:29 |
The law of averages says you will survive. |
| 00:39:32 |
Yeah. |
| 00:39:37 |
Whoa, quite exciting. |
| 00:39:40 |
Quite exciting, this computer magic. |
| 00:39:44 |
- How many planets have you destroyed? |
| 00:39:49 |
We're doing really fine. |
| 00:39:54 |
- This is Cindy's first moustache. |
| 00:39:59 |
- Can I take it off now? |
| 00:40:02 |
No, it's... I thought I might go back |
| 00:40:06 |
I don't think they need to see this |
| 00:40:10 |
You were reading. You can read here. |
| 00:40:13 |
Yeah, but they got |
| 00:40:16 |
I thought I could maybe |
| 00:40:20 |
- It's like a submarine thing. |
| 00:40:24 |
Before I met Jeanine, |
| 00:40:27 |
I was using whatever Eastern philosophy |
| 00:40:33 |
And she sort of sorted it out for me. |
| 00:40:39 |
Do you have as much influence |
| 00:40:43 |
Oh, yeah. I mean, I listen to him |
| 00:40:49 |
He plays things to me sometimes |
| 00:40:53 |
He's got a new bit |
| 00:40:56 |
And I say that's good or that's bad |
| 00:41:02 |
She's very honest. She's brutally frank. |
| 00:41:04 |
How does that go over |
| 00:41:07 |
She gives me the brutally frank version, |
| 00:41:13 |
It's so strange because Nigel |
| 00:41:15 |
and Jeanine are so similar |
| 00:41:21 |
They don't dislike each other. |
| 00:41:23 |
- There's great love between them. |
| 00:41:26 |
But there's some sort of communication |
| 00:41:46 |
- It's pretty. |
| 00:41:49 |
Been foolin' about with it |
| 00:41:52 |
Very delicate. |
| 00:41:54 |
It's a bit of a departure from |
| 00:41:59 |
Yeah, well, it's part of a trilogy, really. |
| 00:42:02 |
A musical trilogy that I'm doing |
| 00:42:05 |
in D... minor, which I always find |
| 00:42:10 |
I don't know why but it makes people |
| 00:42:17 |
- It's a horn part. |
| 00:42:22 |
You know, just simple lines, intertwining. |
| 00:42:26 |
Very much like... |
| 00:42:29 |
And it's sort of in between those, |
| 00:42:33 |
What do you call this? |
| 00:42:35 |
This piece is called Lick My Love Pump. |
| 00:42:44 |
Do you have any metal objects |
| 00:42:46 |
- Yeah. |
| 00:42:50 |
Coins... keys... |
| 00:42:55 |
Tuning fork. |
| 00:42:58 |
Musician. |
| 00:43:04 |
Oh. OK. |
| 00:43:06 |
- Could you take this jacket off, please? |
| 00:43:11 |
Let's go, hurry up! |
| 00:43:17 |
Step over here, please. |
| 00:43:20 |
Raise your arms. |
| 00:43:21 |
Departure at gate 12 has been |
| 00:43:41 |
- Do you have artificial plates or limbs? |
| 00:43:47 |
Would you, um... |
| 00:44:06 |
I don't need a woman |
| 00:44:09 |
I won't take me no wife |
| 00:44:13 |
I got the rock'n'roll and that'll be my life |
| 00:44:21 |
No page in history, baby, |
| 00:44:28 |
I just wanna make some eardrums bleed |

- Duty |

Heavy duty rock'n'roll |

- Duty |

Brings out the duty in my soul |

Hi. Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records. |
| 00:45:31 |
- How you doing? You are... Derek. |
| 00:45:34 |
Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records. |
| 00:45:36 |
I'm your promo man here in Chicago. |

I love your stuff. I go back with you guys. |

| 00:45:51 |
- Hello, Cindy. |
| 00:45:53 |
Hello, Belinda. |
| 00:45:56 |
And I... Oh, what's going on here? Hi! |
| 00:46:01 |
Nice to see you. And where is David? |
| 00:46:03 |
David, hi! Artie Fufkin. |
| 00:46:07 |
- We've got something happening... |
| 00:46:12 |
Oh! Thank God! Civilisation! |
| 00:46:42 |
What are you doin' to me here? I thought |
| 00:46:47 |
Business is terrible. What can I tell you? |
| 00:46:50 |
A record store with a promotion |
| 00:46:54 |
This isn't a personal thing. |
| 00:46:56 |
Forget personal thing. |
| 00:46:58 |
What about our relationship? |
| 00:47:02 |
I feel like a schlub. |
| 00:47:06 |
It's me, that's what is happening. It's me. |
| 00:47:08 |
I did it. It's my fault. |
| 00:47:10 |
We were told massive radio support. |
| 00:47:12 |
We did! We did massive. |
| 00:47:17 |
It's me. I did it. I fucked up. |
| 00:47:20 |
I fucked up the timing, that's all. |
| 00:47:24 |
- You know what I want you to do? |
| 00:47:27 |
Do me a favour. Just kick my ass, OK? |
| 00:47:30 |
Kick this ass. |
| 00:47:32 |
Kick my ass. Enjoy. Come on! |
| 00:47:34 |
I'm not asking, I'm telling with this. |

Rock'n'roll! |

Let's have some rock'n'roll! |
| 00:48:05 |
Rock'n'roll! Let's go, then. |
| 00:48:12 |
- It's gonna be a hot one. |
| 00:48:14 |
- Not an exit. |
| 00:48:17 |
- No, that's true. |
| 00:48:20 |
Yeah, this way. Let's go. |
| 00:48:26 |
Um... |
| 00:48:28 |
- Wait. This looks familiar, though. |
| 00:48:35 |
Shit! |
| 00:48:39 |
Let's not lose it, let's not lose it. |
| 00:48:41 |
Where the fuck is lan? |
| 00:48:43 |
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! |
| 00:48:46 |
We've gotta get to it some way. |
| 00:48:52 |
We're in the group. |
| 00:48:56 |
You go straight through this door here, |
| 00:49:01 |
and then there's a little jog, |
| 00:49:05 |
- We don't have time for that. |
| 00:49:08 |
turn right at the next two corners. |
| 00:49:11 |
On the first door is a sign: |
| 00:49:14 |
- Open that door. That's the stage. |
| 00:49:17 |
You're authorised. |
| 00:49:20 |
Thank you. Thank you very much. |
| 00:49:22 |
Rock'n'roll! |
| 00:49:24 |
Rock'n'roll! |
| 00:49:25 |
Let's get it! Let's get it! |
| 00:49:28 |
- This way? |
| 00:49:30 |
Straight through. Rock'n'roll! |
| 00:49:32 |
Hello, Cleveland! Hello, Cleveland! |
| 00:49:37 |
- Fuck! |
| 00:49:41 |
- We gotta go another way. |
| 00:49:47 |
I hate to keep harping on, but the notion |
| 00:49:52 |
We're getting substantial reports |
| 00:49:56 |
But... it might have been better if the, uh... |
| 00:50:01 |
Well, no use crying over that, |
| 00:50:04 |
Well, it was mixed all wrong, wasn't it? |
| 00:50:07 |
It was mixed wrong? Were you there? |
| 00:50:09 |
- But she's heard the record. |
| 00:50:14 |
- You couldn't hear the lyrics. |
| 00:50:18 |
- No, I do not agree. |
| 00:50:21 |
- It's interesting she's bringing it up. |
| 00:50:25 |
It's like me saying you're using |
| 00:50:29 |
It looks sort of frizzy. |
| 00:50:32 |
- You don't do 'eavy metal in Dubly. |
| 00:50:38 |
- In Dubly. You can't... |
| 00:50:43 |
You know what she means. |
| 00:50:45 |
You shan't recover from this one. |
| 00:50:48 |
Can I have the floor for just one moment? |
| 00:50:54 |
Jeanine's been working |
| 00:50:57 |
- These are a new direction... |
| 00:51:00 |
The stage look of the band, |
| 00:51:04 |
We need a new presentation. |
| 00:51:05 |
This is a look for Viv. He's a Libra. |
| 00:51:12 |
This is Nigel. He's Capricorn. |
| 00:51:15 |
- Sort of a goat look. |
| 00:51:17 |
- Is this a joke? |
| 00:51:20 |
- Excuse me. Is this a joke? |
| 00:51:23 |
This... I love this. |
| 00:51:26 |
- That's attractive. |
| 00:51:29 |
Give it a chance. |
| 00:51:31 |
- And this is... |
| 00:51:35 |
Have you any idea what it will cost |
| 00:51:41 |
- Oh, it don't cost nothin'. |
| 00:51:44 |
It's a way to fight the drabs. |
| 00:51:47 |
That's true. I think mine would look better |
| 00:51:52 |
Shut up! |
| 00:51:54 |
- If you're not open-minded enough... |
| 00:51:57 |
There are solutions to our problems. |
| 00:52:00 |
- I think we know what they are. |
| 00:52:03 |
We can take a rational approach. |
| 00:52:07 |
- May I make a suggestion? |
| 00:52:11 |
Stonehenge. Stonehenge. |
| 00:52:13 |
Best production value we've ever had. |
| 00:52:16 |
But we haven't got the equipment. |
| 00:52:20 |
Please, please. Just a moment. |
| 00:52:22 |
- Musically, we all know it. |
| 00:52:25 |
No problems musically. |
| 00:52:30 |
lan can take care of this. |
| 00:52:33 |
But we don't have |
| 00:52:36 |
I know! So we build a new one. |
| 00:52:40 |
- And this is it. |
| 00:52:44 |
You're just gonna take care of it like that? |
| 00:52:48 |
- Let's try. |
| 00:52:51 |
Do you feel that, |
| 00:52:54 |
that you are afforded the opportunity |
| 00:52:58 |
- The way you would like to? |
| 00:53:02 |
My solos are my trademark. |
| 00:53:51 |
Perfect. It's the right proportions. |
| 00:53:53 |
- It'll be this colour, right? |
| 00:53:55 |
That's just terrific. |
| 00:53:59 |
- You got it. |
| 00:54:01 |
When we get the actual set, |
| 00:54:03 |
it'll follow exactly these specifications? |
| 00:54:07 |
Um... I don't understand you. |
| 00:54:10 |
- When you build the actual piece... |
| 00:54:15 |
- What? |
| 00:54:18 |
- This is the piece? |
| 00:54:20 |
Are you telling me that this is it? |
| 00:54:25 |
Have you ever been to Stonehenge? |
| 00:54:27 |
The triptychs are 20 feet high! |
| 00:54:32 |
lan, I was asked to build it 18 inches high! |
| 00:54:35 |
Look. This is what I was asked to build. |
| 00:54:38 |
18 inches. Right here. |
| 00:54:42 |
- I was given this napkin. |
| 00:54:51 |
In ancient times, |
| 00:54:55 |
hundreds of years |
| 00:55:00 |
lived an ancient race of people. |
| 00:55:06 |
The Druids. |
| 00:55:17 |
No one knows who they were |
| 00:55:22 |
or |
| 00:55:24 |
what they were doing. |
| 00:55:28 |
But their legacy remains. |
| 00:55:32 |
Hewn |
| 00:55:34 |
into the living rock |
| 00:55:37 |
of Stonehenge. |
| 00:55:51 |
Stonehenge-where the demons dwell |
| 00:55:55 |
Where the banshees live |
| 00:55:58 |
Stonehenge-where a man is a man |
| 00:56:02 |
And the children dance |
| 00:56:10 |
And you, my love |
| 00:56:13 |
Won't you take my hand |
| 00:56:17 |
We'll go back in time |
| 00:56:20 |
To that mystic land |
| 00:56:25 |
Where the dewdrops cry |
| 00:56:27 |
And the cats meow |
| 00:56:31 |
I will take you there |
| 00:56:34 |
I will show you how |
| 00:56:54 |
And, oh, how they danced, |
| 00:56:57 |
the little children of Stonehenge, |
| 00:57:01 |
beneath the haunted moon, |
| 00:57:05 |
for fear that daybreak |
| 00:57:09 |
might come too soon. |
| 00:57:34 |
The problem wasn't that the band was |
| 00:57:38 |
that there was a Stonehenge monument |
| 00:57:44 |
All right? That tended to understate |
| 00:57:49 |
- You're making too big a thing out of it. |
| 00:57:53 |
Nigel gave me a drawing |
| 00:57:56 |
I know... |
| 00:57:57 |
Whether he knows the difference between |
| 00:58:01 |
But you're not as confused as him. It's not |
| 00:58:06 |
It's my job to do what I'm asked to do |
| 00:58:11 |
- The audience were laughing. |
| 00:58:14 |
Yes, it fuckin' did, and it was not pleasant |
| 00:58:18 |
Backstage, perhaps it was very amusing. |
| 00:58:21 |
Maybe we just fix the choreography, |
| 00:58:25 |
- What do you mean? |
| 00:58:28 |
That's not the issue. |
| 00:58:31 |
than you can, er... er... handle. |
| 00:58:35 |
It's not the first time |
| 00:58:38 |
There have been some gaping holes |
| 00:58:43 |
Excuse me. This is a band meeting, right? |
| 00:58:48 |
- She's with me. |
| 00:58:52 |
I care what happens to the band. |
| 00:58:54 |
David, whenever a single ruffle comes |
| 00:58:59 |
you guys have built around yourself, |
| 00:59:01 |
you start screaming like a bunch |
| 00:59:04 |
It's just a problem! It gets solved! |
| 00:59:08 |
It doesn't! If it got solved, that would be |
| 00:59:13 |
I mean, what got solved tonight? |
| 00:59:16 |
For one single thing that goes wrong, |
| 00:59:21 |
Do you know what |
| 00:59:23 |
I sleep two or three hours a night. |
| 00:59:27 |
You know what I do? |
| 00:59:29 |
I locate mandolin strings |
| 00:59:32 |
I prise the rent out of the local Hebrews. |
| 00:59:35 |
Get someone else to find luggage, |
| 00:59:38 |
and you concentrate on the stage. |
| 00:59:40 |
- You'd like me to be road manager? |
| 00:59:45 |
What Dave is trying to say, |
| 00:59:49 |
- Is you could maybe do with some help. |
| 00:59:54 |
- Managing the band. |
| 00:59:57 |
Maybe there's someone already here... |
| 01:00:01 |
We don't have to pay extra room... |
| 01:00:05 |
- And she's capable of taking over. |
| 01:00:09 |
Who do you think I'm talking about? |
| 01:00:12 |
I would never have dreamed |
| 01:00:15 |
I am offering to help out here. |
| 01:00:18 |
You're offering to co-manage |
| 01:00:20 |
Yes, that is exactly it. |
| 01:00:23 |
I'm not gonna co-manage with some girl |
| 01:00:28 |
Oh! "Girlfriend", is it? I don't know |
| 01:00:32 |
- Why don't we just... |
| 01:00:35 |
This is my position. I am not managing it |
| 01:00:39 |
Especially one who dresses like an |
| 01:00:43 |
Fuck all of you! Because I quit, all right? |
| 01:00:58 |
Can I raise a practical question |
| 01:01:01 |
Are we gonna do Stonehenge tomorrow? |
| 01:01:04 |
No, we're not gonna |
| 01:01:07 |
OK, we're all set. Thank you. |
| 01:01:10 |
All right, fellas. I got the tickets. We're on |
| 01:01:16 |
It arrives at 4 o'clock in Colorado. Then |
| 01:01:21 |
It's about 100 yards |
| 01:01:24 |
What I've done is to arrange |
| 01:01:29 |
- This is so great. |
| 01:01:34 |
You see, Saturn's in the third house, |
| 01:01:39 |
But because Virgo is one of the most |
| 01:01:45 |
we're gonna pull through this |
| 01:01:48 |
Has someone not got one? |
| 01:01:49 |
Nigel hasn't got one. |
| 01:01:55 |
He's got one. He's got it. |
| 01:01:57 |
Think what a jumble |
| 01:02:01 |
- He's got one. |
| 01:02:03 |
What I want to explain to you |
| 01:02:07 |
How would you characterise your |
| 01:02:12 |
- Has it changed in any way? |
| 01:02:14 |
I mean, you know, we've grown up... |
| 01:02:20 |
No, not really. |
| 01:02:24 |
even when we're playing. |
| 01:02:27 |
We're closer than brothers. |
| 01:02:30 |
Brothers always fight. |
| 01:02:32 |
Sort of... disagreements and all that. |
| 01:02:35 |
We really have a relationship that's way, |
| 01:02:46 |
- He can't play any more. |
| 01:02:49 |
If he knew the fuckin' part, |
| 01:02:52 |
- Are you walking out? Great! |
| 01:02:57 |
We're supposed to play the fuckin' thing! |
| 01:03:00 |
- We've spent an hour and a half... |
| 01:03:03 |
You know what would make this a lot |
| 01:03:07 |
Why don't you play this alone, without |
| 01:03:11 |
Jesus Christ! |
| 01:03:15 |
You can't fuckin' concentrate |
| 01:03:18 |
- It's your fuckin' wife! |
| 01:03:21 |
Whatever the fuck she is, |
| 01:03:25 |
- This is unbelievable! |
| 01:03:29 |
Am I losing my fuckin' mind?! |
| 01:03:33 |
I don't understand |
| 01:03:36 |
We're very lucky, in a sense, |
| 01:03:41 |
David and Nigel are both like... |
| 01:03:45 |
Like poets, |
| 01:03:48 |
They're two totally distinct |
| 01:03:51 |
It's like fire and ice, basically. |
| 01:03:54 |
I feel my role in the band is to be |
| 01:03:58 |
kind of like lukewarm water, in a sense. |
| 01:04:05 |
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON |
| 01:04:08 |
There's no time to go to the hotel. |
| 01:04:12 |
- Base? |
| 01:04:14 |
- To the Civic Arena, right? |
| 01:04:18 |
Wait a second. Hold it. Do you know |
| 01:04:24 |
- We're going to the air-force base. |
| 01:04:28 |
Because the original gig fell through! |
| 01:04:35 |
- Lieutenant Hookstrat? |
| 01:04:37 |
- You are Spinal Tarp? |
| 01:04:42 |
Spinal Tap. I'm Bob Hookstratten. |
| 01:04:47 |
Is this your first visit |
| 01:04:50 |
May I start by saying |
| 01:04:53 |
We are such fans of your music |
| 01:04:56 |
Not yours personally, |
| 01:05:00 |
and the exciting things in music today. |
| 01:05:02 |
Let me explain what's going on. |
| 01:05:07 |
It gives us a chance to let down our hair, |
| 01:05:12 |
These haircuts wouldn't pass |
| 01:05:15 |
My hair's getting a little shaggy, too. |
| 01:05:17 |
Better not get too close. They'll think |
| 01:05:23 |
Walk this way, please. |
| 01:05:26 |
Did you ever run into a group, works out |
| 01:05:30 |
If you're ever there and wanna hear some |
| 01:05:37 |
I would like to get the playing on |
| 01:05:43 |
- When would that be? |
| 01:05:47 |
- So that's what? 50 hours? |
| 01:05:50 |
That's actually about 30 minutes... |
| 01:05:54 |
I don't wanna rush you. The idea is |
| 01:05:58 |
And would you play a couple |
| 01:06:01 |
Working on a sex farm |
| 01:06:06 |
Ploughing through your bean field |
| 01:06:10 |
Gettin' out my pitchfork |
| 01:06:14 |
Pokin' your hay |
| 01:06:18 |
Sex farm woman, |
| 01:06:23 |
Sex farm woman, |
| 01:06:27 |
Sex farm woman, |
| 01:06:32 |
High, high, high |
| 01:06:34 |
Hi-i-i-i-gh... |
| 01:06:57 |
Working on a sex farm |
| 01:07:01 |
Tryin' to raise some hard love |
| 01:07:06 |
Gettin' out my pitchfork |
| 01:07:17 |
He totally ruined the gig there. |
| 01:07:21 |
He can't sit at home and get money. |
| 01:07:25 |
Has he done this before? |
| 01:07:29 |
No, but you gotta understand that, |
| 01:07:33 |
there are certain changes |
| 01:07:36 |
And you've just got to |
| 01:07:39 |
You saw exactly how many people |
| 01:07:44 |
37 people have been in this band |
| 01:07:47 |
I mean, six months from now, |
| 01:07:51 |
any more than I might miss |
| 01:07:55 |
or Ronnie Pudding or Danny Uppam |
| 01:07:59 |
I can't believe that. I can't believe that |
| 01:08:06 |
the people you played with |
| 01:08:09 |
Well, I'd feel much worse if I weren't |
| 01:08:14 |
you've gotta be realistic |
| 01:08:17 |
So what happens to the band now? |
| 01:08:20 |
- What do you mean? |
| 01:08:23 |
No. We shan't work together again. |
| 01:08:29 |
THEMELAND AMUSEMENT PARK |
| 01:08:34 |
- Oh, no. |
| 01:08:36 |
If I told them once, |
| 01:08:39 |
to put Spinal Tap first |
| 01:08:43 |
It's a morale builder, isn't it? |
| 01:08:45 |
You got a big dressing room... |
| 01:08:49 |
A bigger dressing room than the puppets? |
| 01:08:52 |
I've got some of this Mendocino rocket |
| 01:08:56 |
Can you play... Excuse me, Viv. |
| 01:09:00 |
like Nigel used to on Big Bottom? |
| 01:09:03 |
Can you double that? |
| 01:09:06 |
Oh, yeah, yeah. I got two hands here. |
| 01:09:08 |
- So we can play that one. |
| 01:09:12 |
Right, right, right, right. |
| 01:09:14 |
America we can't do. It's Nigel's tune. |
| 01:09:18 |
- That's a nice, cosy ten-minute set. |
| 01:09:21 |
- We got nothing to play. |
| 01:09:25 |
- What? |
| 01:09:28 |
We're not about to do a free-form jazz |
| 01:09:35 |
You are witnesses at the new birth |
| 01:09:43 |
Hope you enjoy our new direction. |
| 01:10:06 |
On the bass - Derek Smalls. |
| 01:10:17 |
END OF TOUR PARTY |
| 01:10:20 |
So tonight's the last show of the tour. |
| 01:10:22 |
Is this your last waltz? |
| 01:10:26 |
or are you gonna try to milk it |
| 01:10:29 |
Well, I don't really think that the end... |
| 01:10:35 |
as of itself as being the end. |
| 01:10:37 |
What does the end feel like? |
| 01:10:41 |
to extrapolate the end of the universe. |
| 01:10:43 |
If the universe is indeed infinite, |
| 01:10:47 |
How far is all the way? |
| 01:10:52 |
And what's behind what's stopping it? |
| 01:10:57 |
- It's a good crowd, good crowd. |
| 01:11:00 |
Yeah. Some of these things, |
| 01:11:03 |
It's hard to get at the last minute. |
| 01:11:07 |
David, we had a 15-year ride, mate. |
| 01:11:10 |
Who wants to be |
| 01:11:13 |
in front of people less than half their age, |
| 01:11:16 |
cranking out some mediocre |
| 01:11:21 |
- It's beneath us. Who wants to see that? |
| 01:11:25 |
We can take all those projects |
| 01:11:29 |
We didn't have time because of Tap. |
| 01:11:33 |
- Do you remember what... |
| 01:11:36 |
we were talking about a rock musical |
| 01:11:41 |
- Yeah. Saucy Jack. |
| 01:11:43 |
- You're a naughty one |
| 01:11:46 |
You're a haughty one, Saucy Jack |
| 01:11:48 |
It's a freeing up, innit? |
| 01:11:51 |
- Suddenly time is so elastic. |
| 01:11:54 |
I've always wanted to do |
| 01:11:58 |
with the London Philharmonic, |
| 01:12:01 |
We're lucky. |
| 01:12:05 |
- I envy us. |
| 01:12:16 |
It's gonna be fine, right? |
| 01:12:19 |
- We'll make 'em miss us. |
| 01:12:25 |
I'm in. I'm in tune. |
| 01:12:27 |
- The last tuning. |
| 01:12:31 |
I think it's time to go, right? |
| 01:12:34 |
- Wanna go? |
| 01:12:37 |
We're gonna do Reach Out When You Die |
| 01:12:56 |
Come to see the show? |
| 01:12:59 |
- Yeah. Hello, mate. |
| 01:13:07 |
So did you just come here |
| 01:13:10 |
- Is that what you're doin'? |
| 01:13:14 |
- Oh, a messenger. |
| 01:13:17 |
lan? |
| 01:13:19 |
Oh, the other dead man, yeah. |
| 01:13:21 |
Seems that Sex Farm |
| 01:13:27 |
Spinal Tap's recording of Sex Farm? |
| 01:13:29 |
It was at number five last week, actually. |
| 01:13:32 |
So he asked me |
| 01:13:37 |
to ask you, Tap, |
| 01:13:40 |
if you'd be interested in re-forming |
| 01:13:43 |
and, er... doing a tour. Japan. |
| 01:13:47 |
So you've come back to re-plug |
| 01:13:51 |
By the grace of your... |
| 01:13:55 |
You're gonna bring us back to life? |
| 01:13:58 |
- No, I've come... |
| 01:14:02 |
nerve that you've displayed... |
| 01:14:05 |
I'm just passing on the information, really. |
| 01:14:09 |
Well, it's time to go in. We haven't got |
| 01:14:41 |
David, |
| 01:14:43 |
do a good show, all right? |
| 01:14:47 |
Yeah, OK. |
| 01:15:15 |
Little girl, it's a great big world |
| 01:15:17 |
But there's only one of me |
| 01:15:20 |
You can't touch cos I cost too much |
| 01:15:23 |
- But tonight I'm gonna rock you |
| 01:15:25 |
- Tonight I'm gonna rock you |
| 01:15:28 |
Tonight! |
| 01:15:39 |
You're sweet but you're just four feet |
| 01:15:41 |
And you still got your baby teeth |
| 01:15:44 |
You're too young and I'm too well hung |
| 01:15:47 |
- But tonight I'm gonna rock you |
| 01:15:50 |
- Tonight I'm gonna rock you |
| 01:15:52 |
Tonight! |
| 01:15:56 |
Oh, yeah |
| 01:16:19 |
Nigel Tufnel, lead guitar! |
| 01:16:45 |
You're hot, you take all we've got |
| 01:16:47 |
JOE "MAMA" BESSER |
| 01:16:50 |
Next day, we'll be on our way |
| 01:16:53 |
But tonight I'm gonna rock you |
| 01:16:54 |
KOBE HALL |
| 01:16:56 |
Tonight I'm gonna rock you |
| 01:16:58 |
Tonight! |
| 01:17:08 |
Little girl, it's a great big world |
| 01:17:14 |
Me! |
| 01:17:33 |
Do you feel that playing rock'n'roll music |
| 01:17:36 |
keeps you a child? Keeps you |
| 01:17:41 |
No, no. I feel it's like... |
| 01:17:44 |
It's more like going |
| 01:17:47 |
and they've preserved the moose. |
| 01:17:50 |
And that's... my childhood |
| 01:17:54 |
So when you're playing, you feel |
| 01:17:57 |
I've been listening to the classics. |
| 01:18:02 |
It's called |
| 01:18:05 |
They send you works of famous authors |
| 01:18:10 |
So I've got Denholm Elliott |
| 01:18:14 |
- Interesting. |
| 01:18:15 |
I've got Danny Thomas doing A Child's |
| 01:18:19 |
Next month it's McLean Stevenson |
| 01:18:25 |
- Treasure Island, I believe. |
| 01:18:28 |
There's also the shorter works |
| 01:18:32 |
read by someone called Dr J. |
| 01:18:34 |
- That's Julius Irving. |
| 01:18:40 |
- You like this? |
| 01:18:43 |
This is my exact inner structure |
| 01:18:47 |
Exactly medically accurate, see? |
| 01:18:50 |
So, if we were to take |
| 01:18:54 |
- This is what you'd see. |
| 01:18:58 |
It is green. |
| 01:19:02 |
That's just the vein, the colour of the vein. |
| 01:19:06 |
Oh, maybe it's not green, then. |
| 01:19:10 |
Denis Eton-Hogg, President of Polymer |
| 01:19:16 |
What were the circumstances |
| 01:19:19 |
The specific reason why he was knighted |
| 01:19:24 |
which is a summer camp |
| 01:19:30 |
David St Hubbins. I must admit |
| 01:19:34 |
It's an unusual name. He was an unusual |
| 01:19:38 |
- Oh, there was a St Hubbins? |
| 01:19:41 |
- What was he the saint of? |
| 01:19:45 |
You play to predominantly... |
| 01:19:51 |
Do you feel your music |
| 01:19:53 |
- No, of course not. |
| 01:19:56 |
We say, "Love your brother." |
| 01:19:59 |
We don't literally say it. |
| 01:20:03 |
- We're not racists. |
| 01:20:07 |
We're anything but racists. |
| 01:20:08 |
We've grown musically. You listen |
| 01:20:12 |
It was stupid, and now we're... |
| 01:20:14 |
I mean, a song like Sex Farm, |
| 01:20:19 |
- Of the idea of sex and music. |
| 01:20:24 |
If I were to ask you your philosophy of life |
| 01:20:31 |
Have a good time |
| 01:20:35 |
all the time. |
| 01:20:37 |
That's my philosophy, Marty. |
| 01:20:40 |
I believe virtually everything I read, |
| 01:20:43 |
is what makes me more selective than |
| 01:20:48 |
Do you have a philosophy |
| 01:20:52 |
Well, personally, |
| 01:20:54 |
I like to think about sex and drugs |
| 01:20:58 |
If you were to have something written |
| 01:21:03 |
Here lies David St Hubbins, |
| 01:21:08 |
and why not? |
| 01:21:12 |
- You feel that sums up your life? |
| 01:21:16 |
It doesn't sum up anything, really. |
| 01:21:18 |
I'm a real fish nut. I really like fish. |
| 01:21:22 |
- What kind of fish? |
| 01:21:26 |
I like cod. And I love tuna. |
| 01:21:29 |
Those little cans you've got here. |
| 01:21:33 |
- No bones. |
| 01:21:36 |
If you could not play rock'n'roll, |
| 01:21:40 |
I'd be a full-time dreamer. |
| 01:21:42 |
I'd probably get a bit stupid and start |
| 01:21:46 |
cos there wouldn't be a stage. |
| 01:21:48 |
Probably work with children. |
| 01:21:51 |
As long as there's, you know, sex and |
| 01:21:57 |
Well, I suppose I could work in a shop |
| 01:22:04 |
of some sort of product. |
| 01:22:07 |
- A salesman? |
| 01:22:11 |
or maybe like a... um... |
| 01:22:16 |
You know, "What size do you wear, sir?" |
| 01:22:21 |
- Seven and a quarter. |
| 01:22:25 |
Something like that I could do. |
| 01:22:27 |
- You think you'd be happy... |
| 01:22:31 |
See, that sort of thing |
| 01:22:34 |
Do you think you'd be happy doing that? |
| 01:22:37 |
I don't know. What are the hours? |
