Aww, c'mon. The script is brilliant. Almost every scene is a comedy gem.
<b>The Guitars...</b>
Nigel: The sustain...listen to it...
Marty: I'm not hearing anything.
Nigel: You would, though, if it were playing, because it really... it's famous for its sustain... I mean, you could, just hold it....
Marty: Well I mean so you don't....
Nigel: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... You could go and have a bite an'... aaaaaaaaa... you'd still be hearin' that one.
Nigel: Don't touch it! Don't touch it! No one...no one...no! Don't touch it.
Marty: Well uh I wasn't...uh I wasn't gonna touch it...I was just pointing at it... I....
Nigel: Well don't point, even.
Marty: Don't even point?
Nigel: No. It can't be played...never...I mean I....
Marty: Can I look at it?
Nigel: No.
Marty: Don't look at it.
Nigel: No, you've seen enough of that one.
<b>The Albums (and the reviews)...</b>
Intravenus de Milo - (They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry)
The Gospel According to Spinal Tap - (This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question: "What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap and couldn't he have rested on that day too?")
Shark Sandwich - (Shit sandwich)
Smell the Glove - (Well you should have seen the cover they wanted to do. It wasn't a glove believe me.)
<b>The Songs...</b>
Marty: It's pretty.
Nigel: Yeah, I like it, just been fooling about with it for a few months now, very delicate...
Marty: It's a, it's a bit of a departure from the kind of thing you normally play.
Nigel: Yeah, it's part of a...trilogy really, a musical trilogy I'm doing... in... D minor, which I always find is really the saddest of all keys really. I don't know why, but it makes people weep instantly, you play a..baaaaa...baaaaaa it's a horn part.
Marty: It's very pretty.
Nigel: ...baaaa, baaaaa, yeah, just simple lines intertwining, you know very much like, I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, it's sort of in between those, really, it's like a Mach piece really, it's...
Marty: What do you call this?
Nigel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump".
Derek: You know, we've grown musically... I mean, listen to some of the rubbish we did early on, it was stupid...
Marty: Yeah.
Derek: ...you know. Now, I mean a song like "Sex Farm", we're taking a sophisticated view of the idea of sex, you know, and music...
Marty: ...and put it on a farm?
Derek: Yeah.
<b>The Struggle...</b>
- Going through airport security
- Getting lost under the stage
- Derek getting stuck in the cocoon
- The Air Force base gig
Definitely one of the best comedies ever.
