Spinal Tap to Address Congress After Loud Commercial Law Passed

Posted on | October 1, 2010 | No Comments |

After watching the US Senate keep its priorities in line by passing a law requiring television stations and cable companies to keep volume levels for commercials the same as regular programming, Nigel Tufnel, the lead guitarist for the band Spinal Tap, has requested a Congressional hearing of his own.

"I just want to be sure that the volumes of my amplifiers are not their next target," Tufnel said after pointing out to everybody in the room that his volume knobs all go up to eleven.

And Tufnel has even rallied band mates David St Hubbins and Derek Smalls to his cause: "We will explain to Congress that the factor that distinguishes us from all other crappy bands is that we play louder. Our songs sound better to the audience when they use earplugs or put their hands over their ears. Our concern is that legislators may take away our cash cow," St Hubbins explained.

There is word that the band will bring along its equipment to serenade Nancy Pelosi. "We haven't yet decided which song we will sing, but we have it narrowed down to either 'Big Bottom' or 'Swallow My Love'. Take that, Stephen Colbert."
