It’s not bad music. It’s good music in bad taste.

The Wired review of Spinal Tap Unwigged and Unplugged makes me really desirous of seeing the show.
Does the switch to lighter arrangements take the punch out of Spinal Tap’s hilariously gross lyrics? On the contrary: It highlights McKean, Guest and Shearer’s clever writing. When sung with a country twang and a snappy tempo, the lyrics of “Sex Farm” —
Scratching in your hen house
Sniffing at your feedbag
Slipping out your back door
Leaving my spray
— sound even dirtier.
Unforch, I just missed the Seattle show on April 20th, but perhaps there’s still time for you? Here’s the schedule.
