Musicologically and ethnically the Rutles were essentially empirical melanges of a rhythmically radical yet verbally passe and temporarily transcendent lyrical content, welded with historically innovative melodical material transposed and transmogrified by the angst of the Rutland ethnic experience which elevated them from essentially alpha exponents of, in essence, merely beta potential harmonic material, into the prime cultural exponents of aeolian cadenzic cosmic stanza form.
I bought my first VCR in 1988, aged 18, the Rutles being one of the first movies I played on it. I have a vivid memory of using the movie to silently determine whether my brother's then wife, who used to bang on about what a great (and kerrazy) sense of humour she had, actually had a sense of humour. No. She didn't. My love for The Rutles and Neil Innes' brilliant songwriting has been tempered over the years by Eric Idle's money-grubbing and thievery.
Listen, look at very simply, nusicologically and ethnically, the Rutles were essentially empirical melanges of a rhythmically radically yet verbally passe and temporarily transcended lyrical content. Wilded with historical innovative melodical material transposed and transmogrified by the angst of the Rutland ethical experience which transcended which elevated them from essentially alpha exponents in essence merely beta potential melodic material into the prime cultural exponents of a Aeolian cadenzic cosmic stands at four
It's a brilliant jab at what silliness the Boomers were into in the 70s. Christopher Lasch took this on in his amazing book The Culture of Narcissism written in the late 70s. This is when they earned the name "The Me Generation."
I feel sure that Stanley J Krammerhead III, Sr. would have been proud of his son.
does the university of please yourself california currently offer a degree program in applied narcotics?
Yes.
The Rutles music is not an easy thing to simplify, but he did a pretty good job.
I think Prof Krammerhead has drunk a little too much tea.
while smoking a weed roll up and his cocaine-cutting razorblade worn round his neck.
Sounds like he writes for Rolling Stone Magazine.
That's easy for professor Krammerhead to say.
Thats the degree course I wish I had chosen.

He played that very well while subduing his own accent. My friends from California talk like that.
Uni of Please Yourself, California.....wonderful!
What's funny is that he's absolutely right... XD

one of my favorite scenes!!
University Of Please Yourself California
School’s motto was” If you can remember the school, you didn’t really attend it”
this explains it all to me
"...prime cultural exponents of aeolian cadenzic cosmic stanzer four." ROFLMAO!
Concur wholeheartedly. Now pass the weed!
Eric is so cute lol.
The Rutles, the best band ever.
Best bandage ever
I have a theory that it's Vivian Stanshall playing Krammerhead III Jr.
With any luck, they’ll never get together again
That nose sniff at the end cracks me up. Yep, time for another toot Stanley.

Followed up by Al Franken who in 1979 declared the 1980s to be the Al Franken decade
Wonderfully put in layman/woman's terms! (Now where did I put that dictionary!)
