You may have heard Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls are reforming (again) in support of a good cause, Al Gore’s mega SOS/Live Earth concert series. Of course Marty DiBergi (who “coined the term global warming”) was instrumental in getting the band back together, and he’s documented his efforts in a new 15-minute short film.
It opened the Tribeca Film Festival last week, and now you can watch it at liveearth.msn.com. See rehearsals for the new tune “Warmer Than Hell” and hear the trio discuss raising money to buy ferrets caesar salad. Also Nigel’s been raising miniature horses. (Wonder if they eat miniature bread.)
If you wanna quote This Is Spinal Tap in the comments, we won’t stop you.

what’s wrong with being sexy?
“This one goes to eleven!!!11!!”
you can’t really dust for vomit.
“This is my exact inner structure.”
Or, more accurately, “These go to eleven”.
Long live the – “รถ” – gratuitous umlaut!
“Who’s in here? No one. And in this one, there’s a little guy”
“I’d be a full time dreamer”.
It’s part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I’m working on in D minor, which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don’t know why. You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like – I’m really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it’s sort of in between those, really. It’s like a Mach piece, really. This piece is called “Lick My Love Pump”.
“Shit Sandwich”
It’s such a fine line between stupid, and clever.
I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
The musical growth rate of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry.
Nigel Tufnel: It’s like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.
You’d think some computer geek working at Microsoft would sneak an ‘n’ with an umlaut over it into Windows Character Map so that we could spell ‘Spinal Tap’ correctly. If Macs do have an ‘n’ with an umlaut over it, that’s further evidence that Macs are cooler than PCs.
this piece is called lick my love pump
“I think it’s a sexual thing, really”
I told them a hundred times..it’s Spinal Tap AND puppet show, not the other way around.
He was the patron saint of quality footwear.
Damn! I was beaten to my favorite: “It’s like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none.”
“we’ve been photographed more times than jesus.”
We’ve got Armadillos in our trousers. It’s really quite frightening.
“Quick question, ummm, are we going to be playing Stonehenge tomorrow?”
“No we are not going to FUCKING play stone’enge”
i’m still waiting for Saucy Jack.
none more black. great.
it should be called yes i can if frank says its okay!
Here lies David St. Hubbins….. and why not?
Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It’s just not really widely reported.
am i the only one who can’t get the video to work ?
We are such fans of your music and all of your records. I’m not speaking of yours personally, but the whole genre of the rock and roll.
Mime is money
You can’t really dust for vomit.
Goodnight Springton. There will be no encore.
OOH I’VE A GOOD ONE!
THESE GO TO ELEVEN!!!!!!!!
ONE LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently David St. Hubbins did release Saucey Jack, the musical based on the life of Jack the Ripper, but it’s appeal was deemed to ’selective’
And so I say, “Tap into America!”
It’s not your job to be confused as Nigel, is it?
And I got that. And I got more, a lot more.
If she’s not on that 8:15, then I’m gonna know what sorrow means. And I’m gonna cry cry cry all the way home.
“I found a new place To dwell”… It’s not raga.
Anyone notice Spinal Tap in a bank commercial? They use “gimme some money” in I think a chase commercial.
