The Rutles was a wonderful send-up, and Death Cab For Cutie was a good addition to Magical Mystery Tour, which should have been better conceived and scripted.
We went to see Yellow Submarine at a West End cinema in 1968. I was 16. Viv Stanshall came and sat next to me. I would've asked for his autograph but I either didn't know or couldn't remember his name. He had an attaché case for his sandwiches.
11:57, Fucking Sony own every thing now! CBS/Columbia Entertainment including, Bell/Arista records, RCA, Including the entire Elvis.Presley Recordings, not mentioning all of the beatles recordings!
yep, its a bunch of BS. also the monopoly Ticketmaster has on concert ticket sales really sux. i'm only assuming that monopoly still exists because I refused to patronize ticketmaster and haven't even tried to go to a concert in decades!
In 1988 Neil and I tried to get a show up and running called 'The Barkers', the Archers but with dogs. Bonkers! We couldn't get it going because of the difficulty of reconciling human and dog facial expressions; the same sort of problem that Cats the movie seems to have run into. A generous and kind man, and a genius of focussed idiocy.
So the phrase “Death cab for cutie”, like “Frankie goes to Hollywood” - as well as “Weasels ripped my flesh”, I just remembered - all were the titles of articles in ‘40s and ‘50s magazines.
Great clip....reminds me what a wonderfully talented / funny lot the Bonzo's were...sad that Lennon was too far up his own ass to acknowledge how good they were.
Neil Innes said in a past interview that Lennon had contacted him when lawyers acting on behalf of Apple insisted the tracks on the 1978 Rutles LP had joint credit for Harrison, Lennon & McCartney. Lennon apologised and told Innes there was nothing he could do, but The Rutles songs were very close to The Beatles. At least Innes got some recompense from that well known plagarist Noel Gallagher and got joint songwriting credit for Oasis's Whatever, which was lifted from Innes's How Sweet to be an Idiot.
Since all the lemmings here are going on about what a twat Lennon was for not liking the Bonzo Dog Doodah band on first impression the fact is he LOVED the Rutles film despite the fact they pissed on him and Yoko. I LOVE the Rutles too and ironically it was Paul who did not like it in the end. So just as usual in these 'sensitive' times the 'triggered' are off jumping sharks, clutching pearls and climbing up the wrong tree. John was NOT perfect but he was not only a genius but a true mensch!
Haha. Paul wrote the cheese part, while John wrote the onions one! (Sounds about like Sony, the fckers.) RIP, Mr Innes. Not many like you, or Mr Stanshall.
I used to write cartoons while I was at school. I invented a group called the ruttles. (taking the piss out the Beatles.) I now realise that I was before my time.....
except for the I Am The Walrus segment the Bonzo segment of MMT was the best part. and that Rutles film was simply wonderful and Innes not only did an excellent job sending-up beatles' songs he did a great job acting in the film too! its kinda ironic. Eric Idle's filmed parody of the beatles was actually better than a film made by the beatles. thanks for the clip. (and if this channel really does belong to Innes; hi Neil!
It´s not ironic at all: Eric Idle is a professional and The Beatles were amateurs. Comparison is as unfair as chastising Eric for having less musical prowess!
Actually the fact that he lost a chunk of the copyright is actually an honour. How many other artists wrote a song and had it retroactively credited to Lennon?McCartney, even although they had nothing to do with it. I would actually die a happy man if that happened to me.
The Rutles were birthed via a Rutland Weekend Television skit, and a few of the songs were then reworked and featured in All You Need Is Cash. great stuff.
Atsasukeral its from a documentary called "the history of the bonzo dog doo dah band" or something like that. it used to be avalible on dvd a few years ago, if it still is I dont know
Are you talking about Get Up And Go/Get Back? Lennon didn't have any direct involvement but that's why the track was cut from the Rutles soundtrack LP...
I have to say, this lowers my opinion of John Lennon a bit. Like, these guys are fellow artists and they're extremely talented: give them their due, Johnny! At least Paul was nice about it. The Beatles might be the most popular band of all time, but they aren't the exclusive possessors of talent.
jealousy.....look the fab four were great..but Lennon was always uptight and THREATENED when he was around other talent..a fact...a huge shmuck Lennon was..talented but a shmuck.....could not take it that they exposed the 1960s counter culture put on
But John Lennon LOVED the Rutles film. They gave him and Yoko and preview video tape of the film and he wouldn't give it back because he kept watching it over and over.
More alt Right myth crap. Please spare us the dribble. There was nothing put on about the counter culture which was the last creative era the West has seen. It's been all down hill since then precisely because the uninformed, like yourself, fell for the propaganda put out since. Reagan, Thatcher and now neo Nazis. Indeed in the USA to which Lennon fled in the 70's, the counter culture continued until Reagan's era while 70's UK had Glam. Lennon was a great if flawed man!
It's also a very clever send up commercial '67 pop. (They sent-up all the then current bands: Cream, Hendrix, The Nice, Traffic, Pink Floyd. I love all those bands, but it was clever of the Dog to send them up.) But NOTHING like Penny Lane, but a lot like some of The Zombies', Hollies' and other poppy psychedelic stuff from '67. If Innes was trying to send up Penny Lane, he missed. "Sometimes you just can't win."
The Bonzo Dog Band was just a trip....I'm sure the acid heads of the day would have loved this. The gags operate at many different levels, from the highly intellectual to the basal 'fart gag' thinkers amongst us.
I don't understand whats going on in this??...Is it like Gwar being upset Metallica isn't taken them seriously or like Dr. Demento not happy how Wierd Al stole his material????

RIP Neil Innes. We were so lucky to have had him in our world.
A lucky planet indeed...
Sounds like The Beatles because they have the same writer and producer at this time. BS.
And bee gees?
R.I.P. Neil. You were an amazing writer, humorist, and music genius. I hope you're smiling up there with the Urban Spaceman.
Brilliant! It's probably a bit of a cliche but Mr Innes is seriously underrated.
All You Need is Cash is a mini-masterpiece.
"I just got finished reading Jean-Paul Sartre's 'Nausea'..."
Great opening line for an interview.
Naw. A loud wet fart does the trick.
@@SmithMrCorona But without smirking, "Who let the FROGS out?!?!"
@@TheSnowballEarth Is it worthy of a smirk, though?
Neil Innes is a genius
Was, sadly...
Better than William?
The man who played 'Vivian Stanshall' replaced Paul McCartney in 1966.
Rubbish
The Rutles are my kind of band. Obviously the Beatles were very influenced by them. You can hear it clearly in the songs.
✌🏽
The Beatles clearly copied The Rutles
@ The Beatles never existed.
"Sincerest form of flattery", blah blah blah
Oasis were clearly a pathetic attempt at trying be The Rutters
You must have been smoking the high quality weed I was back then!😉
"...here comes the twist. I don't exist."-
Neil Innes, "Urban Spaceman."
Cheese And Onions is a masterpiece … the piano note at the end is to die for: thanks Neil!
Apparently it is a Lennon and McCartney composition . I saw Neil Innes talking about it🤪
First time I saw All You Need is Cash I almost peed myself, and had a stroke from laughing so hard.
Likewise
The Rutles was a wonderful send-up, and Death Cab For Cutie was a good addition to Magical Mystery Tour, which should have been better conceived and scripted.
RIP Neil 😢
Have you heard The Tweatles? ua-cam.com/video/idJeu8qLM-I/v-deo.html
Just learned of Neil's passing. May his memory be eternal 🔥
RIP Neil Innes

I’ve always thought, in the back of my mind, cheese and onions. RIP Neil!
A millstone in pop music history

Neil was a very gifted songwriter....i dont think he ever recieved the recognition he deserved....
Neil will always be Nasty to me..💗💗my favorite.
Same here. The shower scene with his Nazi girlfriend STILL makes me laugh out loud 👍
was viv ever pictured with paul McCartney? I never have seen it. kind weird they were friends
Yawn.... watch the Magical Mystery Tour and .....
@@skcollob2 Paul doesn't share the screen with Viv in TMMT either, only John and George are present for the Bonzos performance
He wont be photographed with viv because he is viv and paul same guy thats why theyve never been pictured together

A huge talent. Underrated songwriter and lovely bloke
So pleased to have see n him earlier in 2019 at Exeter uni Rutles gig May your afterlife be filled with Cheese & Onions Neil
Great clip....reminds me what a wonderfully talented / funny lot the Bonzo's were...sad that Lennon was too far up his own ass to acknowledge how good they were.
Actually, he said he loved it; Ringo liked the first half and Paul was described as 'miffed'.
That was before he saw them perform. It was exactly Lennon's sense of humour, as it turned out.
"Twenty million dollars and a killer whale each". A terribly witty man, sadly missed. R.I.P Neil.
at 4.34 only Lennon and Harrison watch the Bonzo's Viv Stanshall, where is Paul, oh yeah, on the stage as Viv
William Campbell
Correct
What documentary is this from? Love to see the rest.
"All You Need is Cash." Available on dvd. Advise against "Can't Buy Me Lunch", IMO it's not half as good and nearly as much music.

To be fair the Bonzo's weren't much cop. Sort of a budget Mothers of Invention but without the interesting music.
Haha. Paul wrote the cheese part, while John wrote the onions one! (Sounds about like Sony, the fckers.) RIP, Mr Innes. Not many like you, or Mr Stanshall.

stanshall´s performance is the best part of the entire movie
love him so RIP

My favorite part was when they went down the stairway in that posh ballroom.
They prob sound alike cause the same fuckin guy wrote both.
I just found out of his death two days ago man a shock R.I.P. Neil Innes the Bonzo's will always have my a place in my heart peace

Rutles paved the way to britpop.
And there is where the remake of the Beatles came from! Sheppard had introduced the horn sections.
Common knowledge that shepherd was viv as well as paul
CHEESE AND ONIONS ooooh noooo 😢
They appeared in magical mystery tour because Billy is the guy who’s playing Paul…
Nope
Neil wanted to tell the truth, cause he knew what happened, but just like with Lennon and Harrison, Billy silenced him
Ever in the same scene??
The Rutles were birthed via a Rutland Weekend Television skit, and a few of the songs were then reworked and featured in All You Need Is Cash. great stuff.
Neil's song for the Rutles, I Love You, is stunningly beautiful. It truly surpasses quite a few Beatles songs.
Let's be thankful then that the Beatle's influenced him to write it.
if you dont get the bonzos you are probably an abba fan or worse
I´m an ABBA fan and I dig the Bozos. What´s the problem?
I don't see it either.
45 years I’ve been a Beatles fan, and 25 years a Rutles fan. But first time to ever heard of the Bonzos?!
@@shizuokaBLUES Do some research - you'll soon be a fan.
Cliff Hughes you are already right because since hearing them and finding more on UA-cam, I’ve become a fan indeed.....

I ♥ The Rutles! Saw it when it was first on tv. Years later got the cassette then the cd, then the dvd.

Before all the plastic surgery.

Earl Grey, the michuocan (sp?) of tea. Bloody strong stuff, man.
Talent doesn't grow on trees. There aren't enough people like Neil Innes in this galaxy. No doubt about that.
Lol I thought it was weird that I thought it was "the roo-tells"
They earn all credits in the music history.
The rest of bands ever excist or will come is just a
ordinairy sideshow. 😂
“tea” lmao
Rumour has it that John had a song cut from this because it was too close to the original.
Are you talking about Get Up And Go/Get Back? Lennon didn't have any direct involvement but that's why the track was cut from the Rutles soundtrack LP...
He suggested that Get Up and Go was a little tooo close to Get Back and advised Innes to remove it.
@@eoghanlyng5074 it was George that said that...
I feel bad for Neil...not only did Eric completely do an about-face on him, now the publishing company says that he did not write 'Cheese and Onions'.
I think he might be referring to Innes having to fight for royalties from his songs being used in Spamalot. Innes used to write for Monty Python.
Neil Innes - a definite fifth Beatle candidate...
Also, seventh Python
I remember...Do Not Adjust Your Set...I was a fan
Neil Innes was such a good composer that Oasis stole from him.
we all know the beatles stole neils music
I totally agree with Neil Innes re. Sartre’s book ‘Nausea’... it’s absolute rubbish!
F'IN BRILLIANT - So f'in brilliant, my first name comes from the Bonzos? … and it's ALL LEGAL? - YES - (applauds briskly)
'Cheese and Onions' I thought that was Oasis.....
Hardly surprising Lennon didn't like the Bonzos. Their act sent up the counter culture JL thought he was responsible for.
What d`you mean? He wrote Walrus with V.
Rubbish, Lennon unlike McCartney ended up LOVING The Rutles. So much for you BS ignorant meme theory. Dribble!
Just imagine if Neil had been injected into the beatles.
RIP Mr Innes cheese n onion forever
Do I have to spell it out??

I think John hadn't seen enough of them at that time to get the joke. Later one, as New Falconer Records points out, John enjoyed the Rutles.
