Spinal Tap
From HR Wiki Twice
Quite exciting this costume magic!
Spinal Tap is a fictional heavy metal band from the mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap. The movie focuses on the troubles the band faces on tour, featuring comedic (largely improvised) dialogue and parody music framed as a "rockumentary". The Brothers Chaps have made many references to the movie in their cartoons.
