Spinal Tap A to Zed

Pishedda, Tony: Tap limo driver for early part of the 1982 U.S. tour. During filming of "This is Spinal Tap," Pishedda declares Tap to be "a fad." Later, in scenes that were not included in the film, the band gives Pishedda his first taste of marijuana after he brings them pizzas at 3 a.m.; the driver proceeds to strip to his underwear and sing an emotional version of Frank Sinatra's "All the Way" before collapsing. The boys tease Pishedda the next day, but he claims not to remember any of the incident, including when he allegedly took off his socks and presented a puppet show. On the commentary of the Special Edition DVD, Nigel advances the theory that Pishedda had been hired by DiBergi to spy on the band. See Sinatra, Frank; Spinal Pap; Yes I Can.
