I did wonder if The Strokes were aware of that scene when they designed the album cover, I'd guess they were and that was the joke... afterall who hasn't seen that film?

Since I don't get the reference, I obviously haven't.

We were talking about Rob Reiner's "Rockumentary" 'This Is Spinal Tap'. Oh boy if you've not seen that you're in for a treat. In 2011 a poll of comedians in Time Out magazine, it was voted the funniest film ever made (IMO it isn't but it's up there with the very best).

This purports to be the unreleased cover for Tap's 'Smell the glove' LP:

and this is the original Strokes LP:

and this is the type of real Metal LP cover that both (?) are taking the piss out of:

Then watch the "Real Spinal Tap", the documentary 'Anvil! The Story of Anvil', it gets quite emotional. Highly reccomended.
