- Neil Innes sings a protest song for a spoof of The Old Grey Whistle Test, on BBC's Rutland Weekend Television, that originally followed a sketch by the Fabulous Bingo Brothers.
Neil Innes was associated with, and Eric Idle part of, the earlier Monty Python's Flying Circus before formulating the now cult Rutland Weekend Television, that featured the Beatles spoof 'The Rutles.' - Комедії
"I've suffered for my music and now it's your turn."
azapro911 The best intro ever! ❤️ 😂
OUCH!
He may be accused of being confused, but he was average weight for his height.
Rest In Peace, Neil. You were brilliant, funny, and sweet.
If McCartney gets a knighthood, and Dylan gets a Nobel prize, then Innes deserves to be Emperor of the universe, with a constant, free supply of crisps.
Cheese and onion !
@@johnenglish929 DO I have to spell it out?! 😅
"I've suffered for my music. Now it's your turn." :lol:
“...sound your horn, if people get in your way.”
Genius.
My favorite Neil Innes song ever! RIP, you silly, silly man.
I always got a kick out of the way he tries for the higher register...and immediately gives it up.
Jennifer Schillig - That's the best part.
So damn funny!
This is so fucking funny. And yet respectful - but so fucking 😂 😂 😂! It is such a shame that history records Neil Innes as a Monty Python bit player. He was a great songwriter and satirist in his own right! ❤️
This gets my vote for best Dylan parody ever.
if not for Dylan this Genius would be on everybody's lips
You should check out "My Polka Dot Undies" by Bowser & Blue.

I have been looking for song this since I was 17 years old when I first heard it on rutland TV. FOUND IT .....YES. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.. SO FUNNY. The first time I heard it on TV my boyfriend & I belly laughed together, it was ace.
We love your music and the world is slightly darker now you've gone. RIP Mr Urban Spaceman.
RIP and Thank you Mr. Innes. You will be missed.
"and have me a f*cking good time" was what he sang live at the Hollywood Bowl...
That's how I always remember it....
Don't think the BBC would be happy with the correct lyrics :-(
Live at the City Center actually. He didn't sing this song at Hollywood Bowl. He sang "Urban Spaceman" and "How Sweet to Be an Idiot".
I laughed out loud, all over again. Many thanks RIP.
"I may be accused of being confused, but I'm average weight for my height, my philosophy like color tv, is all there in black and white..."-lol! Idle and Innes were gold.
RIP to the great Neil Innes
The beginning is classic : "I've suffered for my music. Now it's your turn." Brilliant !
That harmonica playing made me laugh so much I nearly had a hernia! :)
Sounds like a Innes or Bonzo song! I Nearly Had A Hernia 😂!
I got to see him sing this when Monty Python played the City Center in New York back in the 70s and I haven't heard it again since that day! Thanks for posting this!
@PookaDude42 That album is the best! Bryan Adams is one lucky dude...
So sad to hear of the death of Neil Innes today. Had to listen to this song as it's the one I remember best from Rutland Weekend TV all those years ago. Never been able to listen to Bob Dylan without thinking of "rain on a tin roof..."
ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE YOU COULD MEET BLESS YOU MATE j Vincent Edwards love and peace
innes, a genius. Thanks for everything - keynsham was superb.
Sad to hear we've lost a genius. RIP Neil.
Clever fellow, most entertaining. Did some excellent stuff.
my hero
Bless you, Neil. Thank you.
I had forgotten all about this song and knew every word once it started.
Thanks Mr Innes,for all of it,the Bonzo's, Rutles, monty python etc etc.
I love this song. Saw Neil Innes in Phoenix back in the 90's. I loved all the songs he did in MP. What a genius
Listening to Keynsham and remembering Neil and the Bonzos at Bournemouth O2. He will be missed.
You either get it or you don't, but for me it sums up that mad Englishness that you see every weekday morning in Hyde Park between seven and half past nine.
It's fairly explicitly Bob Dylan. It's ironic more than earnest.
No one like Neil
Miss you
Neil also played the part of 'Ron Mcnasty; in 'The Rutles' and adapted and scored all the music in that film, as well as singing and playing in it.
This man is a genius.
Genius? In the same way Crossroads was a RADA masterclass.
"i'VE SUFFERED FOR MY MUSIC NOW ITS YOUR TURN"
Simply, Neil at his best. Classic.
I remember the first transmission of this in 1975 - doing my A levels, full of anxiety. It was so unexpected that evening on telly - and just so very funny. Thanks for posting, Jimmy - a truly great artist. Wonderful to see Bob Harris. OGWT was part of our lives then.
That is just SO funny and SO clever. Does anyone else think that, aside from all the deliberate laugh places Neil Innes went for, there's a great harmonica play in there?
I've just been reading through and enjoying your comments on this. :)
Sorry, I meant to say about the tuning up the guitar stuff at the beginning. Just brilliant. Nowadays everyone seems to rely on their electronic tuning devices to keep themselves in line. There is no reason for guitarists not to just tune by ear even though it saves us from many minutes of the 'tuning drama'. ;)
A very talented person
We really need another.
Who else could have rhymed "mise en bouteille" with "birthday"? Genius.
Surely Innes should have gotten the Nobel price!
Three and sixpence.
I do like the introduction. A classic.
But, he was the guy who sang to "Sir Robin" in "The Holy Grail", right? I love him. He's a genius.
"I suffer for my music, and now it's your turn". Love it.
You're absolutely right.
The one musician who never took himself seriously, presented by the one TV presenter who never allowed his ego to ruin his programmes = "whispering" Bob Harris
Yes! *jumps up and down*
🤔🤣👍❣️🇬🇧
That's soooo funny!!! I wished, there were more ppl like neil innes in the media!!
I don't know what is better--the intentionally horrible harmonica playing or the lyrics or the voice. It is all just brilliant. Mr. Innes does not get enough credit!
He's definitely the "Eighth Python" (Carol Cleveland is the seventh).
@tuttt99 ... and the 555th Beatle
All the best Neil RIP.
OMG, what perfect parody! I had never heard this song before. I love you even more now Neil!
Brilliant through and through - and that final clunking into the mike stand at the end was the absolute cherry on the cake. RIP, genius 💓
My Dad had a great sense of humour. He introduced me to tgis is a song.
Here's to you Dad. I hope you're having fun wherever you may be up there.
Anyway, thanks for the memories. 🤗
Neil is such a great musician. I love him!
I saw Neil do this one live with MPFC at City Center, NYC in 70's. Brilliant!
"Uh, this next number is a protest song." He sounds like he wouldn't protest if you put four million volts through him!
Nobel prize material.
A class act. Funny when I first saw this thirty-something years ago, and even funnier today.
And "The Secret Policeman's Ball" where I first heard it! Brilliant Bob Dylan send-up! Particularly the single note played on the harmonica! Probably an audio test pattern parody. Genius!!!
Love it! Great memories. Neil Innes is SO underrated.
RIP Neil. :'(
It's great to see this. I had the LP back in the seventies. Innes does a great John Prine imitation.
Un amore. I love it. Neil Innes supreme genius and artist parodistic. GREAT!

I think I've just been run over by Rosa Parks driving the freedom bus.
fab, thanks Neil.
I haven't heard this in years. I use to have Monty Python Live at the Civic Center I think it was called. I believe it came out in 1976.
Brilliant.
RIP😢
Dat mouth organ sounds so brill I´m SHREDDIN tears .
I love him
So talented and funny.

"Turn on your headlights, and sound your horn," (Beep beep on the harmonica).
My favorite of his was Twyfords Vitromant (the name on my toilet). RIP Neil
That's the spirit!

2:44 cracks me up. My favourite UA-cam upload ever - thanks for posting.

😔 miss you Neil
Wonderful!
RIP Neil Innes. See you in Shangri-La, man x
Well, he was in the Holy Grail. And yes mainly live shows. And the Concert For George. So he's an honorary member.
I knew it would happen. I went into a panic attack as soon as he started playing that Mouth Organ.

Absolutely Fab
Yes indeed, one and the same, and he's Monty Python's singing minstrel and Ron Nasty of the Rutles too.
Genius vx
This always KILLS me!

Waaaahhhahahaha...the harp!!!! OMG *screeeeaaaaam* :-D
R.I.P. Neil

From Rutland Weekend Television.
Another hero of mine now gone..
This is great.

@poptartjen
It's even better on the "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" performance. here he doesn't get the pause quite as well as he does on the album
Can this be forgotten? He nailed n
So true.
