Went with Big Bottom also but Tonight I'm Gonna Rock It is legitimately better than anything AC/DC ever did.

you know where you stand in a hellhole

this line still makes me laugh after 30-odd years

Voted 'Sex Farm', the perfect representation of wheel spinning deep cut bullshit Side B filler

it also sets up a hilarious Harry Shearer line at the end

Bass riff on big bottom is all time

that big bottom bass solo is one of the best sly jokes in the film

"Children of the Sun" is performed as an acoustic demo by David, and was later given away to Folktown Records artists, the Folksmen.

I love how more modern heavy-blooz the soundcheck "Gimme Some Money" is

The guys are all believers now, which is why they've filed a $400 million lawsuit against the French conglomerate Vivendi and its film subsidiary Studiocanal, which owns the rights to Spinal Tap. Among the suit's charges: fraud, breach of contract, and abuse of power “as part of an intentional scheme” to deprive the creators of what is legitimately theirs. (Vivendi's lawyers deny any wrongdoing, calling the $400 million figure “fanciful” at best.)

Central to the band's case is the claim that Vivendi has been hiding millions of dollars in profits from Spinal Tap by packaging the movie with flops, an accounting trick known as cross-collateralizing. The film, the company insists, is barely breaking even. “Do they believe their own financial statements?” Shearer asks. “Because if they're believing what they send to us, I think they need medical attention.”

I wonder what Harry Shearer does w all his money

Partly answered in the piece:

Shearer's home in New Orleans, a four-story converted macaroni factory, provides evidence of where his combative approach has gotten him. There are gold-paneled walls, impossibly high ceilings, parquet floors, a marble ballroom (complete with baby-grand piano), and the gaudiest collection of Mardi Gras tiaras and crowns ever assembled in one place. Shearer himself is bedecked in a riot of color—a navy-gold-and-red striped dress shirt over a purple T-shirt, maroon jeans, and a rainbow-striped pair of Y3 Yohji Yamamoto high-tops. The Simpsons, it's clear, has been very good to Shearer, which is why he can afford to go after the “larcenous executives” who he says are doing him and countless others wrong.

would be cool if that was their main defense in court. "But your honor, he owns $400 shoes!"

I mean, considering they have to ask permission and PAY to appear as characters they created, I don't think the money is the biggest point of contention.

btw I didn't at all mean to imply here that I think Harry is in the wrong here (or w his Simpsons negotiation tactics), if someone's going to make a million dollars off of work he created it should be him and not some corporate assholes.

I was just genuinely curious about what someone who is ludicrously rich and also left-wing, with a clear distaste for corporate elites etc. would do with the bajillions that he's made over the years. Evidently he's indulged his more ridiculous whims cuz why not, I would hope he's been somewhat philanthropic too at least but whatever
