This Spinal Tap heavy sedation cross stitch project is now available in my Etsy shop!
This pattern is based on a quote from the hilarious cult classic 1984 movie “This is Spinal Tap.” David St. Hubbins (played by Michael McKean) is talking about the departure of his long-time lead guitarist and friend Nigel Tufnel (played by Christopher Guest).
Spoiler Alert: Happily for us, eventually the two friends do work together again.
The pattern border features some popular antidepressants such as Prozac, Xanax, and Wellbutrin. If you haven’t seen “This is Spinal Tap” yet, it’s the movie universally praised by bands such as U2, Van Halen, and Led Zepplin for being almost TOO real.
For more information about the movie, check out this MentalFloss article with interesting reactions to the movie by critics and contemporaries. Also take a look at this SongFacts blog post about the bands most like Spinal Tap.
I think this project would work great in a office setting. It would really throw your coworkers for a loop – can you imagine all of the confused expressions this might cause? It would be outstanding!
