Frank E Gibbard Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (as a fan I hope this paean makes sense to anyone who may be unfamiliar with the film/movie in USA there's a clip to illustrate the "these goes to11" volume bit) Tap into satire with Spinal Tap Pop into a rock-fantastic saga Rip open a big popcorn bag Dip into the hippiest dipsiest Zippiest extra-volume-aganza Thrillingest silliest stagiest act Most authentical druidical Stoned at Stonehenge shtick Tap the comic sap that drips As if from taps (faucets in USA) By the chaps in this vehicle Of comical quips lick those lips At the heaviest metal licks From this old head banger That belongs in Comedy Heaven Bo Derek remember only rated 10 Spinal Tap goes to eleven Good clip: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 A fun poem about one of the greatest satire movies ever! ;-) DC Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I remember parts of this movie, Frank, like where the bus ran off the road and burst into flames. The end of the poem made me smile: Bo Derek remember only rated 10 Spinal Tap goes to eleven. Cleverly executed.
