Does anyone know the story behind Nigel's 'burst in Spinal Tap? (the "you can go out and have a bite, and AAAAHHHH you'll still be hearin that one" one) I know this may seem ridiculous, but does ANYONE know where it is?

I think Karaoke Karl has the info.
He's probably under the sake right now, and the "jet lag" might last for days. :)spin

I think his wife sold it after he choked to death on someone else's vomit
