' Smell The Glove ' : A 35 ( and a half ) Year Anniversary Tribute To Spinal Tap

I watched ' This Is Spinal Tap ' again last night for what must have been the 20th time.
And I laughed just as much or even more than the first time I saw it.
It is one hell of a funny movie.
I 'm sure many here have enjoyed it over the years and I always like to see Spinal Tap references in posts on this forum.
Please share your opinions , thoughts and fave bits and quotes about and from the film.
In the paraphrased words of Sir Eton-Hogg : Tap into the Steve Hoffman Forum !

 

Too much. There's too much f-ng perspective now.

 

.....STONEHENGE......

 

" The White Album ? There was nothing on that Goddamn cover !"

 

As a Sinatra fan, the chauffeur’s discussion of Sammy and Frank cracks me up...hence my long-time signature!

“I mean, when you've loved and lost the way Frank has, then you, uh, you know what life's about.”

 

One of my favorite comedies. I love trying to identify the sources for some of the characters and scenes.

 

Being a guitar nut I love the "can you hear the sustain" bit when Nigel's holding the Les Paul.

 

"Don't touch it. Don't even look at it !"

 

And of course....."11".......

 

"When you've loved and lost the way Frank has, then you know what life's about."

 

"You know what that book should have been called? 'Yes I Can, If Frank Says So' 'cos he called the shots for all those guys."

I love it to bits.

 

"You should have seen the version they WANTED to do!"

 

"Is the popularity of the group waning? No, no, no...I just think that, uh, their appeal is becoming more selective."

 

"It wasn't a glove, believe me!"

 

Review: "They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry."

"That's...that's just nitpicking, isn't it?"

 

"Don't worry, [Boston's] not a big college town."

 

"I like to stay and talk, but we have to go sit in the lobby and wait for the limo."

 

"There's something about this that's so black, it's like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black."

 

"Have ... a ... good ... time ... all the time."

 

I work "I believe virtually everything I read" into conversations then judge the person I'm with based on whether or not they get the reference.

 

My favourite line in the movie. I use it often and get some strange reactions when I do.

 

"They were still booing him when we came on stage."

Possibly the best comedy movie ever made. Every line is quotable.

 

I always thought it would be cool to have a band called "Nun Moreblack"

 

"I'm just as God made me, sir!"

 

“We've got Armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening.”
