Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When film maker Marti DiBergi first saw Spinal Tap, he was knocked out by their exuberance, their raw power and __________.

Answer: Their punctuality

DiBergi first saw Spinal Tap in 1966 at "The Electric Banana" in Greenwich Village, New York City.
2. When Nigel and David first started playing together, they called themselves "The Originals", but there was already another band with that name so had to change their name to __________.

Answer: The New Originals

"The Originals" then changed their name to "The Regulars" and "The New Originals" eventually became "The Thamesmen" before changing to "Spinal Tap".
3. Their first drummer, John 'Stumpy' Pepys, died how?

Answer: In a bizarre gardening accident

Their second drummer choked on someone else's vomit (although they don't know whose since, as the band says, "You can't dust for vomit"), and a later drummer spontaneously combusted. In a cameo, Ed Begley Jr. plays John 'Stumpy' Pepys.
4. At the launch party for their new album, "Smell the Glove", hors d'oeuvres are served by __________.

Answer: Mimes

The mimes were played by Billy Crystal, and Dana Carvey, only two of a plethora of cameos.
5. On what song do Nigel, Derek, and David all play bass guitars?

Answer: Big Bottom

Bass is often referred to as "bottom", as in the low end of the sound spectrum.
6. Which of these is NOT a Spinal Tap album?

Answer: Nigel's Greatest Solos

"Shark Sandwich" garnered a two word review which replaced "Shark" with a very unflattering word.
7. Nigel claims the sustain on his Les Paul is so good that you can __________, and it will still be sustaining when you come back.

Answer: Go out and have a bite

Specifically it's a 1959 Les Paul.
8. When "Smell The Glove" is finally released, the cover of the album is __________.

Answer: Black and empty

The original cover was the naked greased woman, but the record company refused to release it because it was "sexist", to which Nigel wonders "What's wrong with being sexy?"
9. During "Rock and Roll Creation" Derek has a mishap on stage. What happens to him?

Answer: He gets stuck in a plastic pod

After a roadie tries a hammer and a blow torch, Derek gets out just as the song ends and the other members get back in their pods. As he tries to get back in his pod it closes on his arm.
10. According to Nigel, what's the saddest key a song can be in?

Answer: D minor

D minor is the key of a trilogy with a saucy name which he is composing. He describes it as a mixture of Mozart and Bach, or "Mach".
