They’re back. And they’re as bad as ever. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, a sequel to Rob Reiner et gang’s classic This is Spinal Tap, came out today – and it comes with a cameo by Paul McCartney, who sings Tap’s “Cups and Cakes” during a band rehearsal. … It’s so touching. … As James Parker describes the song in his review at The Atlantic: “It’s a number from Tap’s psychedelic infancy, and—in its pastiche-y, chamber-musicky way—wonderfully McCartney-appropriate: It’s like ‘Martha My Dear’ written by … Spinal Tap.” … Fun stuff. … Elton John and Garth Brooks also make cameo appearances, Parker writes. … Here’s the NYT review of Spinal Tap II and Indie Wire’s review.

Update — 9.13.25 – The reunited band played ‘Big Bottom’ the other night on Jimmy Kimmel.
