Speaking Of Gone Mad...Spinal Tap

The 1992 MTV version of "Majesty Of Rock". The video has even more cross-references than the song...I saw these guys live in Orlando about this time, and their parody band was more talented than 90% of the "real" bands out there. Orlando didn't get the joke...only about 1000 people at the Bob Carr Auditorium. A guy down the row was waving a foil-wrapped potato, however, in his own little tribute to Harry Shearer (aka Derek Smalls). Some of the best Spinal Tap lyrics ever in this tune, including -

"When we die, do we hog the sky?
Do we lurk in the murk of the seas?
What then, are we born again?
Just to sit asking questions like these?
I know for I told me so...


...and so on.
