I had a surrealistic moment in Walgreens.
I was there to pick up a (legal) p;erscription. Walkign out, I noticed that the soothing background music was actually the pseudo 1960s Pictures of Matchstick Men by Status Quo which I always took as a trippy psychedelic song. No Muzak or cheap midi version, it was the full song,
It was creepy.
Then again, give a nod to the old rockers, they are still at the music in this video.

I’m surprised that you didn’t mention that Status Quo are probably the closest real-life analogue for Spinal Tap (note the structural similarities of their names).
“Pictures of Matchstick Men” was specifically spoofed by Tap’s psychedelic classic “Listen to the Flower People”.

Status Quo even had amps that went to 11:
