Squees like a squeeing thing.
That's perfect, Jon. Thanks!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I totally fail to get the jokes in Spinal Tap, but looking at this history of various Deep-Purple-related bands, WHICH IS COMPLETELY SERIOUS, gives me a little of what they're parodying.
9989 - In July, Ian Gillan quits the group citing "musical differences."
1990 - Deep Purple - now comprised of BLACKMORE, Glover, Lord, Paice, and former RAINBOW vocalist, Joe Lynn, Turner - would sign with RCA Records. The resulting album, Slaves & Masters, would be released in November.
1991 - Deep Purple will tour in support of Slaves & Masters, encompassing the United States, S.America, Europe, England, Japan, Greece, Israel, Hungary, and the Pacific Rim.
1992 - Upon RCA Record's request, Ian Gillan replaces Joe Lynn Turner prior to the band entering the studio again. The result is an album called The Battle Rages On, which is produced by Roger Glover and Tom Panunzio.
1993 - Deep Purple - now with Gillan at the helm - tours Europe. In the midst of the tour, BLACKMORE makes it known that he's not pleased with the performance of Gillan thus far, and plans to depart at the end of the European leg. The band would complete the tour in Japan with guitarist Joe Satriani. Once BLACKMORE returned to the States, he would begin recruiting musicians for the formation of RITCHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW.
And then the drummer exploded...
Hec!!
Is it too late to ask for a video of Robyn!!!!????!!!
Because I would love one.
Somebody is trying to boycott college radio stations that play Skinny Puppy. Kind of makes me giggle.
Hmm. In my experience, at least, all you've got to do to boycott most college radio stations is move a couple of blocks away from it. Then you've got no choice.

We're on that list and got an email from them about it. The consensus among the DJs was, well, we never played Skinny Puppy before, but maybe we should start!
Betsy, the original conception of Spinal Tap comes almost directly from the infamous Troggs Tapes. Where the British Band who did "Wild Thing" blathered on with stupid pretension and the engineer rolled tape. Christopher Guest and Michael McKean were in an improv group called The Credibility Gap and did albums in the early 70s and did similar rock stuff. And yeah, Deep Purple, is exactly the kind of band Spinal Tap is parodying. In the early 70s, the big three of Heavy Metal were Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.

Nope. I'll make one for you. He talks a lot about his new album with Gillian Welch.

You should also reply to them, if ONLY to raise the level of the response. I mean, seriously, folks, I think that's actually criminal abuse of punctuation.
The Scissors Sisters also do a great cover of "Comfortably Numb" as a dance tune, by the way
This was their first UK single. I was shatteringly disappointed to learn they weren't always like that.
