30-Day Song Challenge Day 25: A Song That Makes You Laugh
If you haven't seen This is Spinal Tap, please do. Go now.
David St. Hubbins: We are Spinal Tap from the UK - you must be the USA!
I first saw this movie as a young feminist -- maybe 9th or 10th grade? -- and I walked out on it, appalled and insulted and offended. Clearly I did not understand what greatness was before me.
Ian Faith: They're not gonna release the album... because they have decided that the cover is sexist.
Nigel Tufnel: Well, so what? What's wrong with bein' sexy? I mean there's no...
Ian Faith: Sex-IST!
David St. Hubbins: IST!
I can't even pinpoint a favorite part or a favorite song (although I find "Lick My Love Pump" quite amusing) because the whole thing is just so damn funny. This "rockumentary" goes to 11. So to choose a song that makes me laugh, I turn to Spinal Tap. But which one? "Gimme Some Money?" "(Listen to the) Flower People?" "Stonehenge?"
I'm going to have to go with the classic "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight." And even better -- I found a Lego video of it. I'm wiping tears from my eyes.
David, Smell the Glove is here.
I'm still a feminist, one with a sense of humor.

Nigel Tufnel: Clever.
David St. Hubbins: Yeah, and clever.
