It is; they are half of the Rutles, their pseudonyms are Dirk McQuigley (Eric Idle) and Stig O'Hara (Ricky Fataar who played with the Beach Boys). If you're unfamiliar with the full Rutles, they are a parody of the Beatles, check out "All You Need is Cash"

I can remember singing this around the campfire on a cub scout adventure to Chelwood Gate in the 70s.
Suddenly I'm 8 years old and on cub camp in Eastnor Park again :D
Used to sing it as a Round in the girl guides a million years ago.happy days

OG brainrot. 1st Shalvey rep!
lol I remember this from cubs haha
Absolutely hated singing this lmao
And Ron went into retirement so he didn't take part in this? Whatever happened to Chastity?
It was released as a 7" single on khaki coloured vinyl.
Side B was Mr. Sheene.......or was it Sheene Said, Sheene Said?

Still, it could have been "I've Just Sheene A Face". You're missing the joke here, aren't you?
@@akadventuring It might've been Sheena Easton come to think of it.
Wow. Soon a Generation Z will start making a Generation Z era song about Ms. Sheena and say Ms. Sheena is the sleeping dude at 1:05.
Dort geht ihnen die endliche Ruhe

Am I on drugs or is that Eric Idle at 00:47 ?
