25 Years Later, Spinal Tap Records "Saucy Jack"

Spinal Tap, the band from the 1984 mockumentary that made “mockumentary” a word, This Is Spinal Tap, have apparently realized part of their dream to make a rock opera based on the life of Jack the Ripper.  They talk about it at the end of the movie:

Derek Smalls: Remember at Luton Palace we were talking about writing a rock musical based on the life of Jack the Ripper. 

David St. Hubbins: Yeah! 

[singing] 

David St. Hubbins: You’re a naughty one… 

Derek Smalls, David St. Hubbins: Saucy Jack… 

David St. Hubbins: You’re a haughty one, saucy Jack. 

Well Spinal Tap is touring once again, and they’ve finally finished work on “Saucy Jack.”  Song after the jump:  

I also found this article that announces the band’s reunion and describes what they’re up to these days:

Nigel has been raising miniature horses to race but can’t find jockeys small enough to ride them; David is now a hip-hop producer who also runs a colonic clinic; and Derek is in rehab for addiction to the Internet.

They’ve still got it.  Here’s the “Saucy Jack” download.
