"We toured the world, and elsewhere." Gets me every time.

The most ironic thing about all of Spinal Tap's music is that it's actually well-crafted songwriting and being able to capture a genre.
-
I love the shitty true-to-period not-even-trying synching to the studio track.
-
I love how the band attached itself to every changing trend LOL.
-
This is a fantastic spoof of the whole genre of 60s hippie music, right down to the sitar accompaniment and the pseudo-psychedelic camera work. I lose it every time I see Schearer mouth the words "we love you."
-
That's some solid drumming. You can tell that drummer is going to be a dependable foundation for this band for a long time to come.
-
The lyrics are ridiculous (on purpose), but the compositions, melodies, harmonies and production of the music is top notch. This is why the film did so well, managing to even convince many that Spinal Tap was a real band.

For anyone not aware, this movie is rated 8.0/11 on IMDB... :)
-
I was at that Blues Jazz festival at the Isle of Lucy when drummer Peter James Bond exploded on stage.
-
I always found it inordinately hilarious when Derek mouths, "We love you."
-
The "Isle of Lucy" has to be the most overlooked joke in the whole thing.
-
RIP STUMPY!! You were the first drummer to explode on stage and that, my good sir is a legacy of which to be proud.
-
The most authentic late 1960s track ever recorded in the early 1980s.
-
If this was actually released in 1967, it would’ve been a monstrous hit!
-
Can't believe that I only just figured out that the Isle of Lucy is a pun on "I Love Lucy".
-
Nigel is one of the most influential guitar players ever as is clearly demonstrated here.
-
The kaleidoscope effect gets me every time 😂
-
The melody and arrangement of this song is something to behold. Thats what makes this film so special. It is indeed a mockumentary but it wouldn't be remembered if it bled too much into gag/spoof territory. Such a fine line between clever and stupid. You have to remember Christopher Guest , Harry Shearer and Michael McKean wrote these songs, performed them legit, and constructed every beat and improvisation along with Reiner. If there was any justice all of these men would have an honorary Oscar.

Not only was this is a genius movie it’s the only movie in history where the American actors actually pull off English/London accents!
