A Wikia article had this to say about that other band: The Beatles were a Rutles parody band and the only one recognized by Rutle Corps. The Beatles are comprised of John Lennon(Nasty) Paul McCartney(Dirk) George Harrison(Stig) and Ringo Starr(Barry). All The Beatles, just as the Rutles, were born and raised in Liverpool. Although being praised by Dirk, Stig and Barry, Nasty has been quoted as saying "God do those idiots have nothing better to do." The Rutles considered suing the Beatles in 1966 for copyright infringement but were too tired that day.
More of a pastiche than a parody, I'd say. If it's a good thing in its own right, rather than solely a piss-take, then it's a pastiche. But, yeah, The Beatles did some decent stuff too.
One band's civilization, is another band's universe. They say evolutions in the street. I'm dancin' with Amanda Peet, and ain't she sweet! Hey blimey, limey, Don't try and fine me..screww who de do Screw who de doooooo 😎
I thought it was "I'm dancin' with Samantha Peel, cor ain't she surreal!" Samantha Peel was, of course, the early character name concept for who eventually became "Emma Peel" on 'The Avengers' (or was it 'The Offenders'?), Dirk and Nasty's favorite TV show in the 60s. Stig hated it, though. He used to turn the sound down on it and say rude things.
To be honest the first time I watched the Rutles I didn't really get it because it seemed to be a very accurate simulation of the actual Beatles rather than a parody. Didn't help that the actual Beatles were actually more often eccentric/weird/surreal than the Rutles.
If there is one Rutles song i actually prefer to the original...it is this. The outtro is absolutely brilliant. 3:17 this little piggy went WOOOOOO omg thats so good
RIP Neil Innes you are a legend. Absolutely brilliant lyricist and musician. Saw you and the Bonzo's in the 2006 reunion, and grew up listening to yours and Vivian's songs during High School. 👏👏👏
If you guys go to George Harrison's 'Crackerbox Palace' video, that's Neil (in drag) pushing George in the baby carriage. Also, Eric Idle directed that vid as well.
+Joe Cheap The difference between a pastiche and plagiarism is so fine that it's been buying Rolls Royces for copyright infringement attorneys for a many a decade.
+Buffalo Springthorpe Heh. Neil Innes said that e had not, in fact, listened to any Beatles music in a year or more when he sat down to write the songs - but he still came up with more than one that were TOO close.
It wasn't the strongest idea for a Rutles film - four Oxford History professors on a hitchhiking tour of tea shops in the Rutland area - and was slammed mercilessly by the critics.
@@whiteshadow59 I suppose the Let's be Natural scene didn't gel well with him. Shame it's my favourite scene. For a Brit I guess he wasn't too good at taking a piss at himself.
@@meghnasaha4349 He wasn't, unfortunately. But his wife, Linda loved it. Yay, for Linda. I'd like to think this may have turned McCartney around, at some point C'mon Dirk, larf it up, it's only a bloody joke! John and George really, really dug it. I think Ringo was ok with it too. Oh well, 'that's showbiz'.
@@waynej2608 George helped make it. John loved it so much he didn't return the tape they sent for approval. Ringo said it was fun but got sad at the sad scenes. Paul didn't like, but apparently changed his mind later when Linda said it was funny
This is actually "I Am The Waitress". However, the BBC banned it for the scatological chorus line "do a pooh pooh". To get over the ban, the Rutles renamed the song "Piggy In The Middle", the BBC didn't notice and it got massive airplay and was a massive hit.
John kept the video and music album. He just couldn't part with 'em. Lol I often wondered why John hadn't at least a cameo, like George. John too, was a huge Python fan and dug this whole project. I realize he was in NYC at the time, but so were Belushi, Akroyd, Murray and Gilda. Oh well, at least he got to enjoy it. 😎👍😆
John loved it and Paul hated it. One reason is that the guy who played the John character was better looking than the guy who played the Paul character. Plus the Paul character didn't sing or play or write any songs.
Interesting factoids - the Bonzo Dog (doo dah) band (of which Neil Innes was one of the rignleaders) was in "Magical Mystery Tour", performing as the strip-club band. The song? "Death Cab for Cutie".
Notice that the song on the album cover says 'I'm the Waitress' which is this Piggy song. . Would have been great to hear the'Fool on the Pill' song too... Anyway great work by Neil Innes.. Cheese and Onions is my favourite.
I had long forgotten how utterly brilliant this movie is. It must have been much harder to recreate those Beatle clips than it would be today. No CGI, no easy TH-cam lookup of old footage. I had also forgotten Barry Cryer was in the film. I am glad to have lived at the same time as Neil, Eric and Barry to witness their genius. Bill Murray the K. Ha! Piggy In The Middle is quite unreal. I hope the BBC will celebrate this comedy gold in 2018. Is Dirk the waitress? Thank you to all involved. Mesmerising.
Leave it to these creative superstars to turn a children's nursery rhyme into an excellent song. I just lost it when the bit with Eric Idle as the reporter who had to run into a full gallop when the tv truck sped up, appeared on Saturday Night Live. Little did I know then that two hours of such comedy would be enjoyed later. And of course to close the monumental docudrama from his hospital bed, the reporter Idle asked Mick Jagger if he thought the Rutles would reunite the quick reply of, "I hope not"
Just love how all the extras for the ‘Tragical History Tour’ segment look thoroughly miserable! A wry dig at the infamously ‘chaotic’ and often incoherent production of _Magical_ Mystery Tour methinks! Regardless, genuine kudos to the late, great Neil Innes for this as it is by no means easy to parody a parody (I.e. the wonderfully irreverent ‘I Am The Walrus’). Even harder to do it _well_ ...
Saw The Rutles a couple of months back at The Komedia Bath. Still brilliant! Neil Innes is a genius. He was arguably The fifth Beatle, the seventh Python... and certainly a dog (called Bonzo).
Apparently John and Yoko pissed themselves laughing - especially at the "shower scene". Paul, however, was not amused. Especially since Linda thought it was hilarious. (According to Eric Idle's commentary on the DVD).
I was going to the University of Cincinnati. It was either late and my freshman year or The beginning of my song my year in 1978. We had a new thing called a video room in the student union building where they would show a video on 3/4-in tape for the week. And one week, it was The Rutles. I got hooked immediately.
Steveo L No, he actually sang "E burres stigano", which before Google Translate, was thought to be very bad spanish for "Have you a water buffalo?". With Google Translate we can now see it was just Ron Nasty using nonsense words in the manner of Edward Lear.
+Steveo L Actually, it's in the movie; no need to embellish with Google references. Idle [as Melvin Hall, we find out his name in the second movie] just explains it exactly as SuperNeville has it sans Google references. Barry isn't dead, he wanted to become two hairdressers, honestly. [He did wind up having two hairdressing shops, honestly.]
+clasystems Actually, the rumour regarding Stig's death, originally came out of "clues" in Sgt Rutter lyrics. Apparently someone thought if you sang "Sergeant Rutter's Lonely Darts Club Band" backwards it was supposed to sound like "Stig has been dead for ages honestly", as intimated by Steveo L above. In fact it sounds uncannily like "dnab bulc strad ylno srettur tnaesgres". Barry's death rumour came from the fact that he stayed in bed for a year as a tax dodge. The Rutles press officer, thought that Barry had either received appalling financial advice or he was desperately trying to start a "Barry is also dead" rumour.....honestly.
"Bible punching heavyweight, evangelistic boxing kangaroo." One of the great lines in rock history. Innes is a genius.
That is poetry, brilliant wordplay
I dissigagry, it is " I'm out in my underware and I don't care"

@Truth & Justice Indeed.
The Beatles did a great parody of this called I Am The Walrus. Check it out.
Which was a dig at Bob Dylan by John Lennon.

😂😂😂
Somewhere else in several parallel universes The Rutles changed the face of popular music and The Beatles were the parody act.
One band's civilization, is another band's universe. They say evolutions in the street. I'm dancin' with Amanda Peet, and ain't she sweet! Hey blimey, limey, Don't try and fine me..screww who de do

Yes Karmic! It certainly could go that way. Beatles spoofing Ruttles! 'Cause Ruttles are just as good if not better!!
To be honest the first time I watched the Rutles I didn't really get it because it seemed to be a very accurate simulation of the actual Beatles rather than a parody. Didn't help that the actual Beatles were actually more often eccentric/weird/surreal than the Rutles.
Corny but funny
This has actually gone from being a Brilliant spoof of a Beatles track,to being one of my favourite songs EVER!!!!!
For some reason I'm thinking of pig in a blanket.
Agree - I prefer it to Walrus.
It's legitimately good lol.
Same !
Oasis is one of the finest Rutles tribute bands. Ever.
They couldn't carry Nasty's luggage!
Actually true
Is an all
So is Quagmire.
Yeah, but only draggy George Harrison dirges.
RIP Neil. I think I've listened to this ten times in a row--it is its own animal, and brilliant at that 😎
One man's civilization is another man's jungle, yeah...Neil Innes is a total genius.
yeah)
Yeah
I nicked that for the headline of an article I wrote once - it's a great line
Innes for President!
That line is Bob Dylan in quality.
I think these guys should be in "The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame"
+Michael Lantz Agreed...best parody band ever. BTW, is Weird Al in the rock in roll hall of fame? He's done some BRILLIANT parodies.
+Buffalo Springthorpe Sadly,No
I wholeheartedly agree! Get the pre fab four in the r & r hall of fame. Geeez talk about your month of Sundays!
The Hall of Shame but that's supposed to be funny
They're way better than Green Day ever was.
If there is one Rutles song i actually prefer to the original...it is this. The outtro is absolutely brilliant. 3:17 this little piggy went WOOOOOO omg thats so good
Their first Album was recorded in 20 minutes, the second Album took even longer!
I never realized that the Beatles actually got their ideas from the Rutles. Truly the Rutles most under rated band ever!
Rip neil.
The closest to John
That we ever had.
Gonna miss you neil.😢
Only Neil Innes could do this, true genius.
Neil Innes, you, sir, are a genius!
Noel Gallagher wishes SO HARD he'd written this. Oasis were the world's best Rutles tribute band.
Noel wrote this for 7 albums straight
a perfect mix of irony and respect
Absolutely magnificent parody of Walrus along with the spoof of the scene from Mystery Tour. The whole Rutles album stands on it's own.
The unintelligible words at 1:13 are backwards "This little piggy went to market." God, I love this song!! It's so brilliant 👏 🙌 👌🏼 😄 😍
RIP, Neil Innes. A true genius.
RIP Neil Innes you are a legend. Absolutely brilliant lyricist and musician. Saw you and the Bonzo's in the 2006 reunion, and grew up listening to yours and Vivian's songs during High School. 👏👏👏

The art of writing a song that sounds so much like another but is actually totally different must have a name.
Yes, it is called a 'pastiche.'
+joe paluka Thank you captain!
+Joe Cheap It's called PLAGIARISM. Just ask George about MY SWEET LORD and HE'S SO FINE. Ironically, GEORGE GOT SO FINED....

Sad to hear the news of the death of the great Neil Innes

'Yeah. Well, the damn BBC showed it on Boxing Day and in black and white, not even in color.' - Barry Wom
I rest my case.

The sheer magnificence of Neil. Bewildering.

John Lennon thought the film was hilarious

Unironically one of the best outro's in rock music.
Right up there with Sheep by Pink Floyd in that regard.
Bye Ron Nasty. Enjoy your tea with John Lennon
This is actually "I Am The Waitress". However, the BBC banned it for the scatological chorus line "do a pooh pooh". To get over the ban, the Rutles renamed the song "Piggy In The Middle", the BBC didn't notice and it got massive airplay and was a massive hit.
Wow, REALLY? :)
Absolutely - Nevile would never tell a lie, would he?
A regular Nevile would. Not sure about a SuperNevile.
Yeah, until Nasty blew it up!
This was a big hit in the USA too. !! My fav Rutles song
John Lennon totally loved it! He refused to return the videotape they sent him for approval, and watched it over and over again!

The song? "Death Cab for Cutie".
And Paul Macartney produced Urban Spaceman.
James Fnordner Death Cab for cutie..
Every time I think of I Am The Walrus, this is what I hear in my mind. Neil Innes is an unrecognised musical genius.
I am a Beatles Fan. but this is fucking good
"but"? you mean "and" right?
Every Rutles fan is a Beatles fan !
Complicated production really well mixed. This has all the signs of a Beatle involvement. Excellent work.

One of the best parodies ever. The pig snorting cracks me up. Neil Innes is brilliant.
RIP the great Neil Innes
Creeping like a bogey man, getting up my nose! Priceless. Anyone spot the numerous clues indicating that Stig died?
Stig has been dead for ages, honestly.

Brilliant and loving parody. Fantastic!
All you need is cash is still better than many Beatles "serious" documentaries.

The music for All You Need Is Cash is staggeringly excellent. The c.d. re issue of The Rutles album is super and Archaeology is equally wonderful.

RIP Neil. Thanks for the great stuff.
This is the most bizarre and disturbing part of the entire film. Still gives me shivers...
This was actually a much better film that "Magical History Tour" - lol! Not that that's hard to do.
Saw The Rutles a couple of months back at The Komedia Bath. Still brilliant! Neil Innes is a genius. He was arguably The fifth Beatle, the seventh Python... and certainly a dog (called Bonzo).

Apparently John and Yoko pissed themselves laughing - especially at the "shower scene". Paul, however, was not amused. Especially since Linda thought it was hilarious. (According to Eric Idle's commentary on the DVD).
Paul maybe had guilt and shame for patterning "Penny Lane"(1978) after Ther Rutles's "Doubleback Alley"(1967).

Being a fan of dairy produce, I was put off when the Rutles claimed to to be bigger than cheeses.
Brilliant after all those years
I felt they coped quite well without Leggy Mountbaten.
They were okay once they got over being shocked…yeah, shocked…and stunned…yeah, stunned…very stunned.
Pure stable genius
I was a HUGE Monty Python fan back in 1996, so I ended up being introduced to The Rutles before The Beatles...and I prefer the former.
I don't blame you... people have the natural distate for any music that was composed before they were born... unless it's classical
It's hard not to love these guys, for doing this..
The singer actually could be john lennon with a dry throat if you didnt know otherwise
