Beatles Mockumentary
« on: September 17, 2005, 01:23:52 AM »

I was watching Monty Python's Life Of Brian, and I was reading the actor bios and i found out that one of them made a mockumentary of the beatles called the Rutles (a.k.a All You Need Is Cash) and I went to the website and some of the songs titles are freakin hilarious.

http://www.rutles.org

its funny as hell, like the ever popular "Hello Get Lost" or "Tragical History Tour"

Uh, not trying to be rude or anything, but almost all of us already know about the Rutles.

Sorry dude.

Heh. It's cute that someone just discovered it. I mean, there ARE people out there that haven't heard of it. Like my 7 year old students for instance. ;D

I just turned 15.

Don't take any offense, after all, we're here to learn.

I POSTED THIS ON A PREVIOUS THREAD:

The Rutles was a VERY accurate and intelligent spoof of The Beatles by Eric Idle, of Monty Python, and Neil Innes, from the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - you might recall the Bonzo's cameo in Magical Mystery Tour. Paul McCartney actually produced one of the Bonzo's hits (I'm The Urban Spaceman) under the splendid pseudonym Apollo C. Vermouth!

The Rutles comprise of:
Ron Nasty - Neil Innes - John character
Dirk McQuickly - Eric Idle - Paul character
Stig O'Hara - Rikki Fataar - George character (a session musician who has played drums with the Beach Boys)
Barry Wom (formerly Barrington Womble) - John Halsey - Ringo character (session musician)
and
Leppo - John Halsall - Stuart Sutcliffe character (a legendary session guitarist who played on most of the Rutles' recordings - sadly died about 5 years ago)

You can listen to a track here... sounds suspiciously like I'm Looking Through You!
