These Go To Eleven by Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Rob Reiner Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1984

Nigel: This is a top to a, you know, what we use on stage, but it's
very...very special because if you can see...

Marty: Yeah...

Nigel: ...the numbers all go to eleven. Look...right across the board.
Marty: Ahh...oh, I see....

Nigel: Eleven...eleven...eleven....

Marty: ...and most of these amps go up to ten....

Nigel: Exactly.

Marty: Does that mean it's...louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see,
most...most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten
here...all the way up...all the way up....

Marty: Yeah....
Nigel: ...all the way up. You're on ten on your guitar...where can you go
from there? Where?

Marty: I don't know....

Nigel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is if we need that extra...push over
the cliff...you know what we do?

Marty: Put it up to eleven.

Nigel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top...
number...and make that a little louder?

Nigel: ...these go to eleven.
