"This Is Spın̈al Tap" (or simply Spinal Tap) was the soundtrack to the film "This Is Spın̈al Tap", released in 1984. It was re-released in 2000 with lyrics and two versions of "Christmas with the Devil" as bonus tracks. The cover art is identical to that of the fictional album "Smell the Glove" featured in the film.

    Missing film songs

    Noticeably missing tracks from the film include "All The Way Home", "Lick My Love Pump", "Jazz Odyssey", and the band's acapella performance of "Heartbreak Hotel"."All The Way Home", however, did later appear on the "Break Like The Wind" album.

    Other appearances

    The song "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight" is featured in the video game "Guitar Hero II". When played as the encore song at the end of the career mode's second tier, the in-game band's drummer spontaneously combusts upon the song's completion, a direct reference to "This Is Spinal Tap".

    In early 2007, American Express Small Business Services used "Gimme Some Money" (with vocals) as background music in a television ad.
