Spinal Tap release "Saucy Jack" as a free download

Spinal Tap fans, rejoice! At long last, the fabled "Saucy Jack" -- the centerpiece to the Tap's unfinished rock musical about the notorious London serial murderer Jack the Ripper -- has been released. And it won't set you back nearly as much as those long-rumored, impossible to find Japanese bootlegs...

Spinal Tap fans, rejoice! At long last, the fabled "Saucy Jack" -- the centerpiece to the Tap's unfinished rock musical about the notorious London serial murderer Jack the Ripper -- has been released. And it won't set you back nearly as much as those long-rumored, impossible to find Japanese bootlegs of a drunk David St. Hubbins singing a partial version into a groupie's crotch after a gig in Kyoto. This one will just cost you a few seconds time and your e-mail address to download the otherwise-free, real, studio version of the full song in all its saucy glory. So stop reading me blather about it and go get your "Saucy Jack."
