Truly impressive how Innes captured the different phases of the Beatles sound. This is so perfect for the early 60s period. A rare example of a loving parody reaching the level of the original.
My favorite Rutles tune! I've heard that Eric Idle was laughing out loud when he started thinking of the idea to do the whole Rutles thing. Comedic genious! Neil Innes did a great job with all the songs as well!
The unique pedigree of the Rutles carried over into their solo careers. Dirk McQuigley, with his wife, Lydia, released an awesome album titled "Stag", which featured great hits like " Too Many Steeples". Barry's best solo song was clearly "I Don't Groan Easy". How can anyone forget Stig's great album "Oil Rigs Not Gas". Nasty's best album was "SPF 9 Cream". Incredible musical careers.
always a big monty python fan and Beatles fan.. This was very cleverly produced and with the help of George Harrison himself!... I always tried to analize the songs and try to hear which Beatles songs they were immitating.. They were apparently written from memories of the sound rather than studying recordings.. I always liked the middle 8 of 'Number one' It sounds more like the Beatles than any other track... The chord structure, I realised later is very reminiscent of 'Hey Bulldog'
I wish I could have seen The Rutles live. Oh well, Im just going to sit in a dark room. Play their music on full blast, and eat a massive cheese and onion sandwich.
Recently I watched The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (TABM) with my folks. And I said to them, "Hey that guy looks like Paul McCartney!" My parents laughed and said well not really. Later I found my dad's old Rutle CD and I burned it. Then I found out the guy I thought looked like Paul, Eric Idle, actually played Paul in The Rutles. I WAS SO RIGHT!
Oh... I Had A Limited Edition Vinyl Off Of "Terripean Frong Records" Label Of "The Quids", A BRILLIANT, But Short Lived Pop-Band Of 5 Boys From Leeds,GB. The 1964 Album, Their ONLY Album "Pink Bobbies" Had The #1 Hit Single In Britain For Two Weeks(!!) With The Name Of "Ooh- Laa Lamp I Lit", Which Was A Big Smash With The Oxford Crowd At The Time. "Pink Bobbies" Songs Were: 1- Ooh- Laa Lamp I Lit 2- The Sweater Is For You 3- Plum Pudding 4- She Knew My Name 5-Ashbury Park 6- Raspberry Johnson
YOf course I dont talk about the main rif.... its in millions of spngs. but rather the one in 1:25 that goes du,dudu,dududu which is also quite a common chain of notes... I can't say a song right now that exactly follows this melody but I'm sure hundred or thousand does since it's such a basic scale run that I played even myself on my guitar hundreds of times. I never heard Herats or whatever their name might be, but I'm sure there is a lot more story behind the riff than 1976... :)
I spoke with Leggy on the "tele" just yesterday, and he is taking hardcore legal action against Apple Corps, partnered with Billy Gates for copyright such and such! They plan to pick apart the company and pretty much make a club sandwich out of it!
Hey, you can find that riff in many songs... now and in the past... its a riff, not anything more. I think someone in the 20's probably came up with it... it's not like rocket science you know :)
Their first album was made in 20 minutes. The second took even longer.
indeed

So good he got sued for plagiarism, all you need is cash is apt, money grabbing record companys.
To the point of lennon and McCartney being credited for writing cheese and onions
@@davehoward22 Yeah - that was beyond bizarre...
Yes it is so!
He more or less copied their songs, not really that impressive
My reason for loving the Rutles : I love the Beatles.
Odd... my reason for hating the Rutles is the same.
@@c.a.t.732 The Rutles is the kind parody made with a whole lotta love, you can't be bitter because of it.
@@PhilShary You have your view, I have mine. The difference is, I won't tell you what you can or can't feel.
@@c.a.t.732 Why did you watch this video if you don't like the Rutles? Seems a bit masochistic.
@@fyshwick6032 I just watched enough to be turned off. To each their own.

George Harrison had much more fun with the RuTles than the other group he was in.
You are right!👍🥰
@@tracyjacoby2382, and what about the Traveling Wilburys?
Neil Innes captured John's voice uncannily!!!
And his songwriting style. Brilliant!
Yes that flat, scouse, self important, accent. Innes had a great ear
Indeed. Nailed it. Even the voice cracks like Lennon.
One of the best parodies ever.
best parody ever.
i bet if they were an actual band in the sixties in stead of the beatles, they'd be world famous.
Teacher couldn't teach me... what a brilliant break in that song!!!
+Zip Pain thank The Beatles
Zip Pain totally agree, unexpected and brilliant chord and melody change, lesson to all budding music writers. Neil you are a genius.
The middle eight sounds like it was sung by McCartney himself. It always sounds like part of a Wings song to me.
I had no time to school
Their follow-up single "Number Two" was never released... rumor has it, they only got as far as "Number One-and-a-Half" ...
I wish I had seen this earlier but. They had a four track EP that got to number three on the singles chart two of the tracks were number one.
WileERobby Good one!
number nine
I find myself thinking about these songs. Sometimes I can't get them out of my head...and I don't mind.

Eric Idle, he really looks like Paul, the same moves and eyebrowes :P LOVE THIS MOVIE!
I also have been lifelong Python and Beatles fan..when I need a laugh I just get my Rutles DVD out and things are sweet again!
This track was produced by the famed Bruce Dickenson, yes THE Bruce Dickenson. He has a fever for the cowbell.
I had lunch w/ wilt chamberlain earlier today & the rutles are his favorite group.
That’s totally believable right there.
I wish I could have seen The Rutles live. Oh well, Im just going to sit in a dark room. Play their music on full blast, and eat a massive cheese and onion sandwich.
All I can say about The Rutles and their creators is: brilliant and absolutely hilarious!
More cowbell, Barry!
the early beatles were always smiling so it is funny that they pick regular guys and have them smile when playing, just like the beatles.
lol i loved George Harrison's cameo as the reporter.
The other Rutles should be proud that Barry is making an effort to sing!
They were big in the UK in October 1962 when Love Me Do was released.
This clip and song is cool.
This song was The Rutles first hit single
But only in Britain. This was before they hit the USA.
They even have cowbell!
The world famouse Bruce Dickinson approves.
This record better than the Crap we hear Now......thanks for Posting........👍🇬🇧🤓
Ha ha ha!! Great line: "Teacher couldn't teach me / I had no time for school / No one there could reach me / But baby I'm no fool, no fool"!!
Change of key at 40 secs is so Beatles, very clever and catchy
Another nice number
With A Girl Like You, that song was so good that the parody of this song was created by The Beatles when they wrote If I Fell !
George Harrison helped big time with the project
He and John loved it; Paul didn't like Eric Idle's smarmy impression of him.
haha i love The Rutles Rikki Fataar(george) looks so young! Hes acually a great drummer too,play drums for The Beach Boys on their 72 hit album!
This was the best Beatles
Spoof i ever saw.
Their songs sound even better than beatle songs
Lol
Nice high-water pants on "George" at the end!
This song has just enough cowbell!!! -- Unknown
Ron Nasty had some good solo stufff too. "Last Tuesday in Boston" was fab.
Twist And Shout!
I love the Cow Bell.
More COW BELL !!!!!
0:41-0:56
The bass line always gets me.😭
OMGOSH! I LOVE THE RUTLES!!! XD
The pre Fab Four. I think the tribute band was called The Beatles
Recently I watched The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (TABM) with my folks. And I said to them, "Hey that guy looks like Paul McCartney!" My parents laughed and said well not really. Later I found my dad's old Rutle CD and I burned it. Then I found out the guy I thought looked like Paul, Eric Idle, actually played Paul in The Rutles. I WAS SO RIGHT!
いいねぇ
Allegedly John Lennon, loved this.
You had me at Leggy Mountbatten
"A Cellar Full of Goys" had me howling.
RIP Neil Innes
More COW BELL!
Just as good as any Beatles song
The Beatles...always imitated, but never equaled, period.
The Beatles imitated The Rutles
@@marknewbold2583 😎
this song is SICK!@
I Like Their Hit "Im Only Chiefing" and lets not forget "A Day in My Wife" lol
Let's not forget Scrambled Eggs
I’ve just seen the chase
very true
sounds like something the beatles would sing!
Captures banal early Beatles lyrics perfectly.
Gotta love Leggy Mountbatten getting into a fight with...someone. Oh Terrence Baylor.
someone needs to post the clip "i must be in love". it was on youtube but they removed it :(
What about the song they gave to Willy K Jamer, "Bad Tummy"?
They were supposed to. This was a parody, a satire on the beatles.
Oh... I Had A Limited Edition Vinyl Off Of "Terripean Frong Records" Label Of "The Quids", A BRILLIANT, But Short Lived Pop-Band Of 5 Boys From Leeds,GB.

@alexinitalics Twist and Shout

That's a pretty good song!
Your my second to none! Number One!
Whoooo! Funny Fake lyrics! 😂🤣😆!
Is that John "Stumpy" Peeps on drums?
Nope, it’s Barry Wom (Barrington Womble).
Twist and shout...jaj
Big Ruttling Orange Peel influence there
Please Please Please Tell me that KestrelCloud is on the wind up
_Twist & Shout_ with a bit of _I Want To Hold You Hand,_ to (maybe over-)generalize how this song sounds

The funnny version of Twist and shout
Funny stuff
HAAA IMAO
Twist and shout!! jaja
1:21....MORE COWBELL !
Why are people mentioning those Rutle-wannabe's ? Dirk, Stig, Nasty & Barry are the tops !!
LEGGY MOUNT BATTEN! LOL!!! ❤❤❤ HE LIKED TIGHT PANTS!!😂
Girls love English guys who can sing and play
they are even better than the real beatles!
Well, now we know what Gene Frenkle was doing 14 years before "Don't Fear the Reaper."
right...the year suggests so too

can someone tell me which Beatles song this is a parody of? thanks
...have you ever heard the word "parody"?
Bounty Leggbatten indeed!
MORE COWBELL!!
I think you're mixing up "Pasty" with their other album, "The Rutles", but I like to call it "The Violet Collection" based on the albums color. Haha.
i didn't need a jobe-----haha!!!
when brian epstien was writing his book " a cellar full of noise" john said he should call it "queer jew" or " a cellar full of boys"
John had slepy with brian
Epstein on his yacht out in
Gibraltar
Eric Idle looks like George Harrison at 0:08 - 0:13
More cowbell as of 1:30
Huh Number one and a Half ?
Hey, you can find that riff in many songs... now and in the past... its a riff, not anything more. I think someone in the 20's probably came up with it... it's not like rocket science you know :)
This song might actually need less cow bell.
