As I don't follow the Billboard charts, I wouldn't know
anything about that. But I do frequent alt-mountain bike
regularly, and this is where I entered the discussion,
so to me. That's why they win. You and are are here, in
AM-B, discussing them. Either way you want to look at
it, they win.

I vote to bring back Spinal Tap!

I wouldn't say that I'd missed it- I'm just not entirely
convinced that it is intentionally parodic. They might well
be such complete idiots as they seem... In either case, it
is pretty damned funny.

You forget, they are a Brit band, and have actually been
doing the gig circuits for an age, and we get to
see/hear/read all the interviews. They are most definitely
not idiots, even if their musical talent 'ain't all that',
and are for certain, parodying the genre heavily, and with
full intention, which to us lot is obvious, not to mention
they've been _telling_ us since they hit the mainstream
that's what they're about.

Shaun aRe - HTH!

take your word for it. I'd only ever heard the song "This
feeling that I'm feeling" or whatever it is actually called.
I'd hadn't seen the video before this thread started, but
when I did, it made it reasonably clear that someone was
having a laugh. My doubts were whether the band were
laughing, or the video director was laughing at them...
