The Troggs Tapes' is an infamous compilation of studio chat said to have inspired the Spinal Tap rockumentary. The British pop band, led by millionaire crop-circle enthusiast Reg Presley and famous for Wild Thing and Love Is All Around, became the subject of cult fame with The Troggs Tapes. These recordings, available on bootleg, were made during a recording session and display, according to The Penguin Encyclopaedia of Popular Music, "instrumental incompetence, mutual recrimination and much foul language". They inspired the sequence in which Tufnel and St Hubbins have their row in the Rainbow Trout Recording Studio.
Has to be heard to be believed, example:

Reg: No, no more beats.

Chris: Just play da da da da da ja. Or whatever drums you were playing Ron, originally. How you've got them embedded in there.

Ronnie: Yeah, alright. Alright.

Tony: And then just start moving it about with different drums…. What you were doing is exactly the same as what you were doing originally, only different drums.

Ronnie: Yeah I know.

Reg: Yeah…and you did it. And you did it. You went da da da da….

Ronnie: You can say that all fucking night but you won't listen.

Chris: We can keep on trying and then we can get it together.

Ronnie: Yeah, well just shut your fucking mouths for five minutes. It'll give me a fucking chance to do it. Don't keep fucking …?..ing that fucking microphone. Da da da. Da da da.

Ronnie: Fuck me Reg.

Ronnie: Just fuck off.
