Ha.

They were actually disbanded a year before _Spinal Tap_ came out. They reformed in 2000, and have been producing lots of stuff locally. So I hear, at any rate, they are not my thing.

Now, [Clout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fgA_yNCeq4), there was an awesome 70s export…

Related, I remember the 2011 _South Park_ episode “You’re getting Old” and its parody of trailer for an upcoming Adam Sandler movie called _Jack and Jill_. A few months later, I saw an actual trailer and my honest reaction was “Oh, my God, _that’s a real movie?!_” I thought Parker and Stone had just made it up because it sounded so outlandish.
