  • where is the key board player?

  • The Seeds!

  • Stumpy Peeps rules!

  • it's actually a bloody well written pop song!

  • I love the drummer's expressions throughout the song.

  • also an early rolling stones vibe here, david st hubbins is channeling brian jones/mick jagger for sure

  • @Jwo32 Looks a lot like Brian Jones too. (in this vid.)

  • Thats the shreddingest lead ive ever heard

  • i just love Nigel. <3

  • class,,,,is that the drummer that blew up?

  • @tailendcharlie no, that drummer died in a freak gardening accident, the authorities said it was best left unsolved.

  • GO NIGEL GO!!

  • omfg I love Nigel.

  • YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT!

    YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED!

    Or maybe you don't

  • @MarioYoBro Do I have to come right flat out and tell you everything..

    Gimme some moneaaaaaaaayyyyyy

  • what a song......reminds me of The Beatles and The Shadows (No offence any one) 

  • @travorkates005 What's so great is that these actors actually wrote great songs spanning several genres. Better than 90% of most "real" bands. Gotta love the Tap !!! I've seen them 6 times

  • @racer500gp Yes exactly....and their history is basically the history of music and musicians over the years. How music evolved and how musicians evolved over the years are beautifully depicted by these guys. I just love this one and big bottoms.....Tap all the way........

  • @travorkates005 this is supposed to be like the the please please me era beatles (if you notice the suits and the hoffner) while listen to what the flower people say is supposed to be like yellow submarine era beatles. Spinal tap is supposed to be a parody of everyone from the Beatles to kiss exc

  • 1 million+ users should be viewing this instead of whatever else on youtube

  • Well..you heard the man..give him some money.

  • my friend thinks this is a real band, and a real documentary!! sooo funny

  • This might sound weird but I actualy like this song.

  • @ACrackInTheWall2006 That is not weird at all. It is an awesome piece of music

  • go nigel go

    

  • Stumpy Peeps!

  • @DogCatchersBand

  • @mRgRiM720 An unfortunate gardening accident

  • the greatest thing EVER recorded

  • Would not have noticed Ed Begley on Drums had he not retweeted on Twitter.

  • Ed Begley Jr on drums in this video. Take that to your pub quiz.

  • "bad checks, anything..." LOL!

  • Go Nigel, GO!

  • Heavy it up...

  • That drummer is awesome - that little awkward fidget he does at 0:33 is brilliant!

  • whooo just had niegel tufnel day not too long ago. TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN MATES:)

  • Love that faux early 60s guitar solo!

  • It's like, how much more pop can this be? The answer is none. None more pop.

  • damn gardening accidents

  • david shuffling at 1:10 hahaha

  • Bad Checks?!!!

    ctfu

    who'd be desparate enough to look for bad checks when they want money?

  • @allabastormaroe

    thERE ARE A LOT OF DESPARATE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD

  • can anyone tell me what kind of music they played

  • @BlakkLining 60s rock'n roll, incluenced by the beatles.

  • @Yolas1 thanks man

  • 11-11-11

  • Go Nigel Go!

  • R.I.P. Stumpy.

    A great loss for music.

  • HA HA they faded out on a live performance. that's classic!!

  • Wow, David looks incredibly shifty in this.

  • "Don't get me wrong,

    Try gettin' me right,

    Your face is ok, but your purse is too tight.

    I'm lookin' for pound notes, loose change, bad cheques - anything - gimme some money.."

    GOLD + 1!!

  • Comment removed

  • go nigel go

  • ahahah it's hilarious how bad the guitar solo is

  • The "Peeper"! Stumpy John Peeps

  • Tragic what happened to stumpy...Just tragic

  • go Nigel go!

    

  • The musical score at the background is out of time.

  • @jani14jani To be fair, it doesn't even have a time signature.

  • 1:22 is all you need to know

  • 19 people need to give me some money

  • this makes me happy :)

  • I do not recognise Derek or Nigel at all in this.

  • I thought this was a real 60s pop song ever since I first heard it, until last night when I watched This is Spinal Tap for the first time. I was like WTF.

  • I think Mick Shrimpton was their best drummer.

  • his solos are his trademark

  • 0:34

  • should have been Gimmee Some Pussay

  • Your face is ok but your purse is too tight! Ha Ha, who wrote all these songs? What about "my baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo?" From "Big Bottom" (talk about mud flabs my girls got em).

  • @Ebeneezerable I believe they wrote their own songs along with Rob Reiner. Genius-pure, pure genius!! I can't understand those that hate this movie. I still laugh so hard whenever I watch it.

  • so great!

  • GO NIGEL GO

  • Go Nigel Go!

  • NIgel's face is hilarious!

  • Sounds identical to the whole of the Beatles' circa 1962 setlist - only better, because this is deliberately cheesy. Hey, the Beatles admitted themselves that the early stuff was just a way of shifting records to screaming teenagers. The really good stuff came later. :-)

  • Quite frankly, I almost prefer Nigel's playing on this solo than on other spots in their music... If anyone thinks it's "easy" to play this song because it sounds ridiculous, then think again... often the simplest things are the hardest... every little detail shows.. nothing to heide behind walss of distorted guitar amplifers.

    Love this song, but I like the "gig practice interrupted by Janine's visit" even more!

  • @QuiltedPine I think that it is a great presentation of his skills with the guitar that he is able to make such a simple solo sound so good. And the solo does sound great in all it's simplicity

  • Keith Relf!

  • Being a drummer in Spinal Tap isn´t  a career opportunity.

  • Go Nigel, Go!

  • who's playing the organ?

  • This isnt a bad song.

  • Go Nigel Go!

  • Can't get enough!

    Loose change, bad checks!

    Your face is alright. . .

  • They all died of either a bizarre gardening accident or spontaneous combustion.

  • Hahaha Nigel's solo face is fucking hilarious!

  • Who are the 19 doofuses (or doofii) who don't like this???????

  • @eldunno73 Beatle's fans, man.

  • @Donalisme I'm a really beatles fan but I love this song and this movie

  • I shit my pants every time i look at the drummer

  • 19 firmer Spinal Tap drummers hit the dislike button

  • @thysinws I meant American actually.

  • Genius!

  • "you know what I need... Or maybe you don't" LOL!

  • go nigel go

  • Funny song. "Looking for bad cheques"? lol. I love English humour.

  • if i have never heard of spinal tap before i would have tought this was real!

  • no

  • Comment removed

  • goofy drummer is cool

  • Ed Beagley JR on the drums lol

  • where is Nigel Tufnel?

  • @johnnybrannan Second from the left.

  • Is this an extra on the DVD? In the original movie, it's shot in B & W.

  • @lurch321 Yes.

  • Spinal Tap is a parody, but the band is very real. I saw them in concert in Boston back in the '90s. In true self-indulgent rock star style, they started the concert about 2 hours late.

  • GO NIGEL GO!

    *plays worst solo ever while looking incredibly happy*

  • @ZRN959 Ha ha, Exactly

  • I was just with my cousns and we by mistake cliked on this song WE LAUGHED OUR ASSES OFF!!!!

  • they look geeky and kinda gay? who was the one who linked me this?

  • @matosdiogo12 the greatest person in the world

  • @polosandpearls its not like i hate this or anything, i just... i mean... look at them...

  • @matosdiogo12 have you never seen the movie spinal tap? this band is a made-up band from the movie. the movies hilarious thats why i said the greatest person in the world linked you to this.

  • @matosdiogo12 attention everyone, captain obvious it's on the fucking house

  • @zulshyn shut up -.-

  • @matosdiogo12 you trollin or stupid?

  • @LJBanc im not stupid... trolling? well... in your point of view... maybe? well im just saying if you look to the lead singer, hmm... do i have to say anything else? well what ever i wont post here again if it bothers you...

  • @matosdiogo12 he's an actor who is acting. this is from a film. it's a parody. a joke. not real. pretend. you see now?

  • @matosdiogo12

  • greatest song for busking

  • Stumpy Pepys forever!!!!!

  • I like how nigel is so surprised by his own guitar playing.

  • is that ed begley jr. on the drums? hehe.  damn, we need someone to bust out and make fun of the crap that's popular today... but it kinda already makes fun of itself.

  • Comment removed

  • Bubblehead is a mean drummer !

  • ahhh spinal tap, still trolling people to this day...

  • ....what the fuck?

  • such appalling lyrics lol

  • do I have to come right flat out and tell you everything

    lol

  • Brilliant. Footage of Ronnie Pudding is so rare.

  • Drummer died in a bizarre gardening accident :D

  • Nigels facial expression during his solo just makes me lose it

  • What I would give just to understand the complexity of that guitar solo... It's a pure masterpiece

  • @McFudge93 just a simple blues scale

  • @mattmanmkb That's the joke...

  • @McFudge93 idk, its not quite simple enough to make a joke like that, try listening to a punk rock solo, its just 1 note getting bent

  • @mattmanmkb lol very true, good sir

  • @mattmanmkb you're a joke.

  • @apbench im level 105 on runescape

  • @mattmanmkb runescape is all bots now.

  • @apbench not at godwars or corp

  • GO NIGEL GO!

  • Go, Nigel, GO!

  • Derek here is like a hyper mix of Brian Jones and Keith Relf, lead singer of the Yardbirds.

  • @journeythruthepast You mean David, right? David St. Hubbins?

  • @Johnny6666 Shit yeah, I got the names crossed up. Besides, that's not Derek Smalls in the band anyway. It's Ronnie Pudding on bass! lol

  • @journeythruthepast Yeah - Ronnie Pudding! He's no Derek Smalls, but still... : )

  • @journeythruthepast He reminds me of Evan Dando of the Lemonheads

  • One of the people in this video later dies in a bizarre gardening accident. Best just to leave it alone, really.

  • Go Nigel go....!! :)

  • RIP John "Stumpy" Pepys. Gone, but not forgotten.

  • @NeilFraudstrong the finest drummer of his borough

  • @NeilFraudstrong

    I remember when this song came out in about 1964 or whenever, hearing that he was the son of that actor who played the "boss" in SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH. Probably just a rumor.

  • @NeilFraudstrong Please, Peter "James" Bond was the best drummer.

  • haha the solo is so hilariously stupid

  • is that Ed Bageley JR on drums?

  • @nsofast Yes, thats Ed Begley Jr.

  • 19 people write bad checks

  • Go Nigel GO!

  • 0:12 best part of the video

  • That drummer died in a bizarre gardening accident.

  • Where's the organ coming from?

  • @elafonisi08

  • Great movie!
