calling all Tap heads

[mattham]

another post has confirmed my suspicion there must be a few Spinal Tap fans out there. So come on, favourite line? Almost impossible to choose I know...mine could be "a bit too much perspective" at Elvis' grave. Or maybe the lyrics to Big Bottom.

but this goes up to eleven

[PeckhamRose]

Don't touch it, no, don't even look at it. (The Guitar scene)

Does it have a title? Lick my Love Pump.

[HonaloochieB]

When Ian Faith refers to the hotel clerk who suggests that the 'boys' share a room as a "a twisted old fruit".

His reply, "I'm just as God made me, sir" never fails to crack me up.

[HonaloochieB]

"Wanker! This much talent!"

[HonaloochieB]

"A rockumetary if you will"

[Brendan]

The whole prima donna freak out over the BIG salami and the SMALL bread.

Oh and, ?In the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful.? ? the manager is speaking of his cricket bat.

PLEASE don't make me choose

Lick My Love-pump

You can't really dust for vomit

Let's do it in Dobly

Camberwell Carrot (oops perhaps not)

Cool your boots, Giggi.

"No! We are not going to play f@cking Stonehenge"

[HonaloochieB]

The very end when Nigel is being interviewed. He refers to working in a 'chapeau' shop, and I think (without playing the film) he's asked as to whether he could work in a shop as opposed to being in a group.

His reply is along the lines of "I don't know, what are the hours?"

Like many others, Tap has become part of my daily repertoire. I have gone through two VHSs and am now on the dvd (should last a while!). In my varied rock incarnations pride was taken in quoting the more obscure and appropriate lines for any given Tap-like on-the-road situations. BTW, Nige doesn't actually say 'Don't touch it' in the guitar scene.

Sorry to be greedy, but for starters:

'Watch his mouth.'

'Too MUCH f*cking perspective!'

'Civilisation! Where'd I put this?'

'I'm joking, of course.'

[SeanMacGabhann]

many of my favourites already chosen - but I do like

"In D minor which I always find is really the saddest of all keys."

also on the DVD commentary which they all do "in character" there is a great scene where the manager first arrives at the hotel and they start laying into him saying things like "look a' 'im - he fought 'e was the fifth Tap"

or some such

Come on people, mime is money.

Sean got mine with the D Minor / Lick my love pump scene!

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo, I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo >:D<

Oh sod it,

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?

[PeckhamRose]

Oh - and and and and

There's a fine line between clever and stupid.
