Rock ’n’ Roll Creation (The Gospel According to Spinal Tap) - (Spinal Tap Tribute)

[Intro – thundering toms, clunky organ chord, guitar squeal fades in] [voice-over, dramatic but muffled] “In the beginning… there was feedback.” [Verse 1 – swaggering vocal, slightly off rhythm] First day, the strings were born, Second day, the amps were torn. Third day came the holy beat, Fourth day fire beneath your feet. [Chorus – gang vocals, dramatic but sloppy] Rock ’n’ Roll Creation! (Louder than night!) Rock ’n’ Roll Creation! (Burnin’ so bright!) The gospel of thunder, the sermon of sound, We play it so heavy, it cracks the ground. [Verse 2 – awkward sexy undertone] Fifth day, she whispered low, Sixth day bodies start to glow. Seventh day, we took a rest, But the eighth day’s louder than all the rest. [Chorus – out of tune, drummer drops a beat] Rock ’n’ Roll Creation! (Turn it high!) Rock ’n’ Roll Creation! (Never die!) It’s funky, it’s filthy, it’s holy, it’s hot, The Book of Metal is all we’ve got. [Bridge – spoken sermon, with echo effect] Brothers, sisters, Hear the riff. Feel the solo, Take the gift. For in the beginning was the chord, And the chord was loud… And the chord was good. [Solo – guitarist noodles endlessly, bassist tries to slap in a “church funk” groove] [Final Chorus – chaos, band shouting over each other] Rock ’n’ Roll Creation! (Born again!) Rock ’n’ Roll Creation! (Say Amen!) The gospel is heavy, the scripture is loud, We preach to the faithful, we preach to the crowd! [Outro – big organ chord, feedback howl, someone yells] (“That’s biblical, man!”)
