Some Musical Thoughts
My favorite bands that never existed
Cap'n Geech & The Shrimp Shack Shooters from That Thing You Do.
Lenny: You see, we're not "The Wonders" right now. We're "Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters!"
Murph and the Magic-Tones from The Blues Brothers.
Murph: Thank you. Your marvelous. Your marvelous. Thank you. I'm Murph and these are the Magic-Tones. Steve 'The Colonel' Cropper, Donald Duck Dunn, Willie 'Too Big' Hall and Tom 'Bones' Malone. We'll be back with the Magic-Tones for the Armada Room's two hour disco swing party after this short break. 'Til then, don't you go changing.
Diamonds in the Rough from Saving Silverman.
Neil Diamond: [approaching America Avenue] Hey, we're coming to America!
-also-
Judith: [to Wayne] There is no right girl for you! And if you've already met her, she's probably either killed herself, or become a lesbian.
Spinal Tap from This Is Spinal Tap! (OK, they DID put out a soundtrack album)
Mick Shrimpton: As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.
-also-
Nigel Tufnel: [Nigel, introducing the Stonehenge theme concert] In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing...
-also-
Derek Smalls: We're lucky.
David St. Hubbins: Yeah.
Derek Smalls: I mean, people should be envying us, you know.
David St. Hubbins: I envy us.
Derek Smalls: Yeah.
David St. Hubbins: I do.
Derek Smalls: Me too.
-also-
David St. Hubbins: [singing] Big bottom, big bottom / Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em!
-also-
Derek Smalls: [on the phone to his solicitor] Isn't there a law against this sort of thing? Surely you can't just buy a full page ad in the music papers and publish your divorce demands.
[pause]
Derek Smalls: What do you mean 'I paid for it'?
[pause]
Derek Smalls: Joint account!? F***! Can't we just have her killed? You know people!
-also-
Viv Savage: [when asked by Marty if he has a creed he lives by] Have... a good time... all the time.
-also-
[Nigel is playing a soft piece on the piano]
Marty DiBergi: It's very pretty.
Nigel Tufnel: Yeah, I've been fooling around with it for a few months.
Marty DiBergi: It's a bit of a departure from what you normally play.
Nigel Tufnel: It's part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.
Marty DiBergi: It's very nice.
Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of...
Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump".
-also-
Ian Faith: [Pointing to his guitar] Certainly, in the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful.
Can anyone think of any others?
