This is a classic Spinal Tap song recorded in their heyday in the '60s.
It is such a masterpiece that I decided to type it in. It is taken from
a songbook for Break Like The Wind. Sorry, no lyrics; I'm doing this from
memory. This is a technical masterpiece from guitarists Nigel Tufnel and
David St. Hubbins, the two major songwriters.
Every four notes is one measure; it is in 4/4 time.
