I think he's teasing us with the Monkees.

Really think he's talking about Spinal Tap.

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Hit pretty close to home, as did all the movies by these guys.

You're right. These crazy Brits turned the movie into a long music/comedy act.

LOVE IT!. They also did movies about folk music and dog shows.

The Monkees started out not playing their own music, but several were good musicians. I think later they did play it themselves. Memory is hazy.

Over the years, I have played on at least 50 records by bands without credit. On one band, the keyboard player is fine live, but freezes up in the studio.

I worked lots of dates with a surf band years ago. The guitar player could not read and just played until he wanted to stop live. That didn't work on 45's.

The bad news is, I got session rates, but no points.

Now, I rarely see live bands in big venues who are not partially using tracks, usually triggered by the drummer. I watch the drum head and listen to the bass drum line. Lots of times, there are extra strokes coming from somewhere.

At 2:37 and elsewhere, as his right hand is playing the piano part, you hear the piano not corresponding to his striking of the keys. Strange. Maybe, he's "lip-synching". smile

As far as the sax part, he must've recorded it previously.
