"You can't really dust for vomit"
"You don't talk so much just smile and look smart."
Tap into AMERICA!!!!
"Fucking Limeys!"
"Well, you know. They're not..they're not used to that world. Frank Sinatra. It's a different world that they're in."
"This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth rate of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry"
"That's nitpicking isn't it?"
"The White album? What was that? There was nothing on that goddamn cover."
"They see us on stage with tight trousers. We've got, you know, armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening. The size. And they run screaming."
"This is a top to, uh, what we use on stage, but it's very, very special because if you can see the numbers all go to eleven! Look! Right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven."
"Most amps go up to ten."
"Exactly."
"Does that mean it's louder, I mean is it any louder?"
"Well it's one louder isn't it? It's not ten. You see most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up. You're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?"
"I don't know."
"Nowhere, exactly! What we do is if we need that extra push over the cliff you know what we do? 11. exactly. One louder."
"Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?"
"These go to eleven!"
"What's the difference between golf and miniature golf? The walls."
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
"Certainly in the topsy-turvey world of heavy rock having a good, solid piece of wood in your hand is quite often useful."
"Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year, It's just not really widely reported."
"Given the history of Spinal Tap drummers, uh, in the past do you have any fears, um, for your life?"
"When I did join, you know, they did tell me. They kind of took me aside and said well mate it's, you know, it's like this. And it did kind of freak me out a bit but it can't ALWAYS happen to every can it?"
"The law of averages..."
"the law of averages.."
"..says you will survive"
"..Yeh"
"I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, It's sort of in between though. Really it's like a Mach piece really."
"What do you call this?"
"This piece is called Lick My Love Pump"
"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."
"I think you're just making much too big a thing out of it."
"Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea."
"What I've done is to arrange a whole load of charts. An' we know that the band's sign is Virgo. You see that Saturn's in the third house, alright?, and it's a bit rocky. but, because Virgo is one of the most highly intelligent signs in the zodiac we're gonna pull through this with great aplomb."
"We're very lucky in a sense that we've got two visionaries in the band. You know, David and Nigel are both like.. uh like poets you know like Shelly or Byron or people like that. They're two totally distinct types of visionaries. It's like fire and ice basically you see. You know, I feel my role is, in the band, is to be kind of in the middle of that. Kind of like lukewarm water, in a sense."
"Six months from now I can't see myself missing Nige any more than I-I might miss eh, eh Ross McLochness or Ronnie Pudding, or Denny Upham, or uh Little Danny Schindler or any of those you know it's..."
"Ican't I can't believe this. I can't believe that, you know, you're.. you're lumping Nigel in with, uh you know, these people that you played with for short periods of time."
"Well I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation, but still in all, I mean, you've got to be realistic about this sort of thing! You know?"
"America we can't do that's Nigel's tune. That's not my tune."
"We know, we know, weknow weknow weknow. Well that's a nice little set isn't? That's a cozy ten minutes."
"What are we going to do? We've got nothing to play here. We've got nothing."
"I'll tell you what we're going to have to do."
"What?"
"Jazz Odyssey."
We're not goingabout to do a free-form jazz, uh, exploration in front of, uh a festival crowd."

"You are witnesses at the new birth of Spinal Tap mark two! I hope you enjoy our new direction.."
"Do you feel that playing Rock and Roll Music keeps you a child? That is, keeps you in a state of arrested development?"
No. No. No, I feel it's like, it's more like going, going to a, a national park or something. And it's, you know, they preserve the moose and that's my childhood up there on stage is that moose, you know."
"So when you're playing you feel like a preserved moose on stage huh?"
"Yeah."
______________
"David Saint Hubbins.. I, I must admit I've never heard of anybody with that name."
"Well it's an unusual name. Well he was an unusual saint. He's not a very well known saint."
"Oh there actually is, er there was a Saint Hubbins?
"That's right, yes."
"What was he the saint of?"
"He's the patron saint of quality footwear."

I do not understand. Was it supposed to be done for a different reason?
1Also... What's the indication that this problem is isolated?
