Actually, quite good and funny as hell lyrically.

For the film, the "band" members played their own instruments and sang their own vocals - which is a lot more than many actual, legitimate "bands" and "recording artists" do today.

“Lick My Love Pump” is in D minor; the saddest of all keys. It makes people weep instantly. That’s good music...

Big Bottom really rawks with brilliant and meaningful lyrics.

I always thought their material from the The New Originals days was overlooked.

Michael McKean was in a band that made at least one record c. 1967

Spinal Tap actually has toured a few times. They would open the shows as The Folksmen and would get booed by the crowd who did not get the joke early on.

And you my love, won't you take my hand?
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there, I will show you how

Big Bottom, Big Bottom
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em!

Big Bottom drives me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

You can get the soundtrack with the full songs. It is fun to listen to. There is humor in the music as well as the lyrics. As noted earlier, the actors played all the music and all the songs were written by the actors and Rob Reiner.

They can't keep drummers it seems like. Spontaneous combustion has been rough through the years.

Viv Savage was always the unsung hero of that band.

They had to have had a blast writing that song. I can't listen to it without laughing.
