...out for you). I found Bad News funnier than Spinal Tap, but again I think it comes down to personal preference.

Warriors Of Ghengis Khan - "Baby, baby, baby, baby, babyyyyyy!"
Bohemian Rhapsody - Bohemian Crapsody

If you like Heavy Metal, immature toilet humour and willy jokes, you must own this.
