3:10 for those who didn't get it, that was a reference to The Rutles' film All You Need Is Cash, made in 1978 by George's friend Eric Idle, of Monty Python fame. "The trousers" is a recurring joke in the film, which features a cameo by George.
I love at 1:12 where he talks about all the things about George that he loves and they it just starts zooming in on his nose "But most of all, I've always loved... YOUR NOSE! WOW WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT NOSE" that's me whenever I think about George and just think of more things to love about him. He does have a nice nose
@@calsavestheworld I'll find a link to the place where I heard a whole explanation once I find it.

For those who don't get the reference, George was sued by Bright Tunes Corp, Owner of The Chiffons music claiming that George plagiarized their song "He's so fine" when he wrote "My sweet lord". It went to court and he was found guilty of "unconscious plagiarism". By that time though, George had purchased Bright Tunes Corp who were suing him, so effectively he was suing himself and everybody got so confused that they all just shook hands and went home. Rumour has it that his legal team are still trying to sue his estate for damages. Good man George!
Weird Al was huge. But, I can’t even imagine how colossal he would be had he and Vine, UA-cam etc started around the same time. These types of edits are making UA-cam /Tik Tok kids millionaires in a week. 🤣😂
My favorite part is when he has to refer to his notes to remember "The Beatles," then looks up at George for confirmation to see if that's right. Weird Al is great at taking superstars down a peg or two.
@@subg8858 kicking off a George Harrison interview by admitting you don’t know who The Beatles are, then ending it with asking him if he has time to stop by and wash the dishes is a power move on Al’s part (I know these interviews aren’t real but still)
@@joepermenter7228 Yes, in some places he sings seven words and in others he sings six. It could be said either way, so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt as the title is written in six. Funny thing is that none of the Beatles wrote that song and being that parodies legally fall under “fair use”, Al didn’t even have to go through George to record it. Whether he did or not, I have no idea.
@@louismazzei5862 What a load of shit, the entire composition musically from Harrison; right down to the sax and guitar solos get nicked by Al. There's no way in hell the original lyricist's composition is nearly as upbeat and cool. Also, I've listened to it dozens of times and he literally never says This song's just six words long.
“You’ve been doing parodies a lot longer than me… you did that parody of ‘he’s so fine’ “ :**) (“my sweet lord” by Harrison was found in court to have taken its melody from the Chiffons song of that torle)
Wait a minute. Weird Al did a parody song of his called "This Song is just six words long" but I swear I remember as a kid watching Weird Al's music video of it. It was similar to George Harrison's version with taxidermy animal heads singing to the music. I listened to a hell of a lot of Weird Al around 1986-1989 and I didn't like the originals of most of the songs at the time. But I can't find any information on Weird Al's music video of the song. The beginning of this video has Weird Al's version dubbed over George's video, but I'm fairly sure that Weird Al did his own version of it. Where is it? Am I misremembering?
I've been looking for Al's video too. I was about 10 when that video was out. I had Al's album on cassette with the parody song. I remember seeing Al's version of the video with talking animal heads that were a little more cartoony than the ones in Harrison's video.
Oh this is SO much funnier than the edited one I just watched. The best parts were taken out, and you had no idea what was supposed to be in the mug he tried drinking from.
That PeeWee Herman comment . . . it's like Al saw into the future xD LOL I know Harrison was talking about something or someone else when he said "he's a very naughty boy" but damn
I presume the “very naughty boy” would have been Brian, from Monty Python’s Life of Brian, which George helped fund and in which he also made a cameo appearance. “We shared the same wife” - I presume was referring to Eric Clapton, who later married George’s ex-wife Patti Boyd. (The full story is much more interesting but is best left for other videos)
I don't know why people are saying you are wrong. "This song is just six words long" is 7 words. Original... " I've Got My Mind Set On You" is 7 words... unless you want to call it 8 because I've is a contraction
What year was this interview? Something's telling me that this predates the Paul McCartney interview. I could be wrong though. It was definitely done in the 80's at the earliest, since it literally has 'Got My Mind Set on You' at the beginning.
For those of you under 50 who didn't get that "He's So Fine" joke, George Harrison lost a copyright infringement lawsuit for his song "My Sweet Lord" which was a pretty blatant ripoff of the Chiffons song. Not exactly a parody, but close enough to make the joke work.
I'm under 50 and I get that joke. Plus the Rutles one ("the trousers"). And the possible one to Monty Python's The Meaning of Life ("the big fat guy who vomits all over the place").
Aside from Queen's cover of Imagine, I don't think I've ever heard another best cover of a Beatles/solo Beatles song. I am so grateful that you introduced me to that, it's glorious 😍
No, sorry, but these are edited clips from real interviews. You can watch the actual interview on youtube, in fact. The interviewer was a woman who isn't on camera. When he says "you want the truth? It was a pain in the ass" he was answering "what was it like working with Madonna?"
It's not real haha, he takes interviews and recreates their backgrounds. He even created a new online series of it, Face to Face. Honestly they'd all have laughing fits. Plus he asks some people really intrusive and embarrassing stuff they probably wouldn't actually answer. Also some parts, you can tell, are edited from interview footage because it doesn't make sense out of context. But for sure this isn't real xD
Dream job: actor portraying just George Harrison's hands
RIGHT?
Right!
Must be alright
I can drink large quantities of wine because I'm not an alcoholic
It's really for everyone, I mean ya don't even have to be an alcoholic.
Harry Painter. ROFL!
Weird Al certainly does a great job editing these interviews, because it really does feel like George Harrison's talking to him.

"the big fat guy who vomits over the place", it wasn't until I saw Monty Python's The Meaning of Life until I understood that line.
It's so funny out of context
Didn’t George produce that movie? I know he produced Life of Brian.
It’s only wafer thin
No Life of Brian was the first movie he produced and formed his film company from there
That great parody of 'He's So Fine'... ouch! XD
Paper Sun lol rekt
Best parody song ever.

At the end: Basically "I don't like your music or this interview but I'll help you do your dishes."
This is every George interview of all time.
The use of the mug was brilliant
😪☕ Cheers
THAT CUP OF RAT POISON!!!
I'M LAUGHING SO HARD THERE'S TEARS IN MY EYES

HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
Yes, the same for me when I found it a few years ago!
"is it ok if i wash and you dry?" "absolutely, yeah. yeah" has me doubled over
Awww my god! Enjoyed these videos so much as a teenager and enjoy them even more now as an adult. Love George!

Yeah, but the original is called "Got My Mind Set on You", and that's six words.
On the album Even Worse, the title reads “This Song’s Just Six Words Long”. The contraction makes it six, on a technicality... ;)

3:10 a Rutles reference. 😂 “I think it was the trousers”
"I think it was the trousers" hahaa, rutles references! :D
I feel like if George were actually there, the answers would’ve been the same
He's going crazy about GEORGE's nose? Man, do you even know who Ringo is?
Ringo's nose always showed up for an appearance 5 minutes before he did.

@@m1994a3jagnew Ok.
@@cloverjones7035 why are you gay?
@Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre I was listening to Al in the late 70's, so he was popular with me. I think your calendar is off.
George is Georgeous ❤️
is it me or this interview would be the exact same if it was real
"Is that good or bad?" Haha.
The parody of you’re so fine lmaoo
You mean "He's So Fine"
George's droll responses make this.
George "It's probably my aftershave." Lolololol
Legend has it Al forgot to check in on George back in 2001

"George it says here in my notes you started with a group called 'The Beatles'?"
ah yes time for my cup of rat poison
This interview should have been six words long.
After all, he’s the Quiet Beatle.
Why doesn't this have more views? It's hilarious.
Oh this is SO much funnier than the edited one I just watched. The best parts were taken out, and you had no idea what was supposed to be in the mug he tried drinking from.
wine is fine, but rat poison's quicker, suicide is slow with liquor
I can never decide if this or the Paul McCartney one is funnier...
Wow, I didn't know Weird Al saved George McCartney's life.
THE RAT POISON BIT IS SO FUCKING FUNNY
Few a moment I thought there was a gas leak in my kitchen while I was watching this video. Had to pause to make sure.
I wish he would do an interview with Ringo Starr

The song is actually 7 words long...
"This Song's Just Six Words Long" is six words long.
GoodGamer3000 he never said “song’s” he said “song is”
@@mayjarsh6489, no, but it's the title.
GoodGamer3000 the title doesn’t change the actual song

Goodbye George
I might've died a little when he said the parody of he's so fine.
Weird Al also did one with Paul McCartney that's really funny.
I loved when he took over MTV.

Weird Al made like YTPs before YTP’s
“I’m just reading what it says” …Al absolving himself of any blame for the insults he’s leveling at George RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM 😂
Al looks like Howard Stern’s better looking, more talented brother...
Why is this the only interview with poor sound quality?
5!!! lmfao
Check Weird Al Yankovic cover of what is life 👍
I love that song and was VERY impressed with Al's cover.
Aside from Queen's cover of Imagine, I don't think I've ever heard another best cover of a Beatles/solo Beatles song. I am so grateful that you introduced me to that, it's glorious 😍
Al is so weird sometimes
He should incorporate it into his name
There was a guy named Dickie Goodman who did this bit in mid 70's on a few records with snippets of songs. Perhaps Al borrowed that idea.
Weird Al is so funny 👍👍
So which was the deleted scene?
I think it was when George Harrison told Weird al his interview was a pain
@MsMoonTheLoon Indeed.
Did he rub a dead beaver under his arm?
Weird Al saved George Harrison's life. Remember that, always.
@BeatleManiaEandM edited. he did it with a lot of stars
What's the interview George Harrison's footage is taken from?
What did he say when al asked him about his wife? it sounds hilarious but idk what he said
She married 70,000 yobbos (lower class people haha)
It's real- Weird Al interviewd a bunch of celebrities- some played along with the spoof better than others. George here dida pretty good job

Isn't it pretty obvious? He does a masterful job but....come on....
How many dead babies???
al could have dumped out he poision
He wanted to drink it himself if he made a silly interview, then chickened out and did not swallow the poison.
George was a very interesting beetle until this interview.
Lol
this is fukked up
Fake but funny! :D
Like Tara Reid!
Got to give it a thumbs down.
