- This clip is from the 1970s BBC TV Series Rutland Weekend Television. George Harrison hijacks My Sweet Lord to sing his Pirate Song. All credits to the rightful content owner. I am showing this because it is such a good clip and it's existence is unknown to many George Harrison and Beatles Fans.

Now I understand all the people who say that George had the best solo career
And the purest soul.
But his Beatles career was a memorable journey
Who would win
Pirate song
Vs
TEMPORARY SECRETARY

Ahh yes, "My sweet pirate", my favourite song.
The title "My Sweet Pirate" sound actually really good
I didn’t realize this was a joke at first😂
Best song name since "Stairway to Batman" which is also a real song.
My sweet baby prirate.
I have a cat named Pirate and she is indeed very sweet. Black and really skinny with one bad eye, hence the name (not originally mine).
John may be the walrus, but George is the pirate
The walrus was Paul.
John was a dreamer (but not the only one) and The walrus was Paul
@@depressedprincess1227 Actually, John was the walrus, but then after some time he became John, and told his dear friends they just had to carry on, because the dream was over.
Ringo was the drummer.
@@weeaboogurra9275 and pete was the best
George took pirating songs to a whole new level.
Which is even funnier due to this exact song (My Sweet Lord) being sued for plagiarism.
My pirate lord oh captain Jack Sparrow is my lord😂😂🤣🤣
Hey, if Ringo can sing about octopuses, George is within his right to sing about pirates...
And strange new places
@@corndog4848which was the biggest most dumbest cash grab in the history of law suits.
The band: *about to start singing My sweet Lord*
Harrison: nah i dont feel like that, i feel like a pirate
@@azryxthefolf6331 THEY ALL ARE JUST LIKE: 👁👄👁uhhh-guess we don’t have a choice, do we...
yeah thats the joke, you are describing the joke, well done.
@@dontevenlook I was about to say..but you said it :D

Wow!! I didn't get the joke until I read this thank you!!!1
I like how what I assume to be the host walks up and George Harrison just pokes him as if to say, "Fuck off, I'm a Beatle."
😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻
Dude, do you know the host? It's Eric Idle :)
The “host” is a Monty Python actor
@@nickhueper2906 Yep, as stated above, it's Eric Idle
The host replied, "No you Fuck off, I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok, I sleep all night and I work all day!"
Can we all just take a moment to just appreciate George's immaculate hair?
Do you like being a sheep?
@@carlmarks8170 why yes, yes i do
I showed this video to my mom and this is basically what she said lol
he used Head and Shoulder for sure.
Dude was 27 years old here. You too probably had good hair at that age
You mean George’s PIRATED “My Sweet Lord”.
That reminds me of George Harrison's Lawsuit. Since someone claimed that it sounded a lot like "The Chiffons - He's So Fine"
@@Angglio - The judge agreed with the lawsuit and awarded the Chiffons (the studio, actually) damages. The judge however called it “Unintentional Plagiarism”. Not likely.
Jesus, oops, I just violated someone's trademark.
I- your phone please 😂
I don’t care if it’s pirated or not, My Sweet Lord is a million times better than He’s So Fine
1:06
George wears a smile that's says "I'm going to get in SO much trouble for this, but I don't give a damn."
the "host" walking up to him is Eric Idle a member of Monty Python lol it's staged but still great
@@MrKJ444 Even if it were real, he would be able to get away with it. No sane talk show host would have the balls to stop a Beatle mid song.
@@TheBlackQueen you obviously don't know about Monty Python
@@MrKJ444 Oh I know, hence why I said no "sane" person. Eric Idle is not one of those people.
staged in case you were wondering
I can now officially confirm after many many years he's my favorite beatle.
ehehehehe i had this same reaction!!! george harrison is the best beatle :))
second favorite for me, i simply cant get off the ringo train.
but george is still a bad ass
Same
@@Gary-Eng SAME Here. It's tough but I gotta give Ringo the Edge; "Dig That Crazy BEAT.!!!"
Took you way too long bruh U a fake George fan
who could possibly dislike this. this is hilarious. as i get older George gets cooler and cooler
E. g. me. Because it's fantastic, but not complete here.
@@slouhend ah lol. Fair enough
Yup. The coolest Beatle. Not the most talented one, but the coolest one.
Has always been me fav fab four.
"gets cooler"? I think he's cold as ice now.
Fun fact: The guy playing Acoustic Guitar to the left of George is the same guy who was pushing George in that baby stroller in Crackerbox Palace dressed as a middle aged lady
Wow
Neil Innes, right?
@@kerajohnson1922 CORRECT
Ron Nasty?
@@applescruffs2894 I knew George was a big Monty Python fan but I never knew Neil Innes was so close with him.
Eric Idles face was amazing when he realized he couldn't do anything to stop George's dream to become a pirate
Only a former beatle could get away with such a thing
Am I the only one who thinks Eric Idle looks a bit like Roger Daltrey
No one:
George: AHRRRRRR I LIKE TO BE A PIRATE
Yeah he can join the Somali pirate's
no "no one" pls
He's even got the looks and the accent for a pirate!
A scouse Pirate?
George rick rolled everybody in the room before rick rolled was invented
Pirate Rolling or something
George: gets sued for piracy on "My Sweet Lord"
Also George: Literally turns it into piracy on live TV
you
nailed
it!!!
I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that ...
Its existence was unknown to this Harrison & Beatles fan till now. Thanks.
Kept very low key for some reason.
Same here
It’s a comedy show from the 70’s with Eric Idle after Monty Python ended, I think it’s called Rutland Weekend
This is the same show The Rutles came from. Brilliant stuff.
Kid: Mom can we get My Sweet Lord?
Mom: We have My Sweet Lord at home.
My Sweet Lord at home:
Brilliant
Which is just as good as the regular one
George is not only my favorite Beatle but he just might be my favorite human being
Favorite pirate?
That would imply that some of the Beatles are not human
jshdau
@@kathann6608yeah, cuz John is the walrus
@@johnc3179 john is the eggman
Some of you may not know that George was not only one of Monty Pythons biggest fans from their very beginning, but he financed one of their movies and became close friends with Eric Idle. Eric was at George’s funeral and spent time with him at his bedside while he was going through cancer. This whole skit was one big hoot for both of them to make as friends, not just coworkers or collaborators.
On a side note, for the Concert for George memorial concert in 2002 I’ve always felt Eric Clapton should have introduced Jeff Lynne to do My Sweet Lord, and Jeff secretly go into The Pirate Song. Only those of us who know this skit and we’re George’s closest friends would get it, and Eric would have died (in the funny slang way) if he could have come out, ask Heff what he’s singing, and Jeff poke him and keep going.
Thank you for that insight, very much appreciated.
George would have loved this.
The Beatles + Monty Python = The Rutles = Awesome 😍😁
Harrison loved Monty Python. He thought that the Rutles were hilarious whilst Lennon hated them and wanted to sue them for plagiarism. 😄
@@jchis9852 I love that George was so close with Phyton. He also saved and financed The Life of Brian. He was such joyous person :)
@@jchis9852 Nah John actually loved the Rutles.
@@jchis9852 John Lennon didn't hated
The Rutles..he liked what they did.
Matter of fact..When a news reporter asked Lennon that what is his opinion on the Rutles,John Lennon answered the question by singing Cheese and Onions (a song by The Rutles).
When John Cleese (I think) asked why George was giving money to them, he said "I want to see the movie."
I thought it was about the plagiarism case for “My Sweet Lord” but turns out to be a real pirate song. This is so sarcastic and hilarious.
I think the bit is also a reference to the lawsuit.
This is the most George Harrison moment ever
Imagine watching this live back in a day.
THAT'S JOHN NOT GEORGE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
what?@@qwertyiuwg4uwtwthn
@@qwertyiuwg4uwtwthnthat's clearly not John's face, mate.
George would have still been a great musician in the 1700s
This is the best thing he ever did!
Agreed :)
Of course not.
Just when you thought you had a handle on Harrison, he reaches up and drags you back in: ua-cam.com/video/T0i9rjTxhpY/v-deo.html
Idk I think cracker box palace has this beat
You’re right. That whole
Bangladesh benefit concert
just doesn’t compare to this.
I love the bands reaction then they just join in
A couple of pros right there just joining in a completely different genre unrehearsed
I'm guessing this was all rehearsed.
Of course this was rehearsed! Sheesh.
@@chasbodaniels1744 well duh, it's just funny
@@makeadifference4all I dunno the band looks pretty legitimately confused
Love his sense of humor!
Indeed
Then why you marry it?
@@mtnmotoadv ik ben een beetje op de site te maken
For context, George had dressed up as a pirate for a skit and all, but the host told him he had to sing, so the madlad did sing.
Why is this suddenly being recommended to me now? I mean I'm not complaining, but why?
Yes, it’s been on for a while but views were only a trickle, then whoosh! Someone must have stood on a button or someone in YT likes George Harrison.Anyway, I’m not complaining either.
It’s a calling from the sea, it’s time to join the crew
Yup me too
Because you listen to classic rock you stupid fuck
George comes not just when we want him but when we need him
The drop at 0:50 is legitimately one of the best I’ve ever heard. Not even joking.
I love how the band stops at first and then they just join in fully lmao
0:56 I can read the man’s lips. He’s saying “You were supposed to play “My Sweet Lord”
You just know if he was still alive, George would’ve been in pirates of the Caribbean
You think he would’ve been in it with Paul?
Ahhh, Georgie you're hilarious 😂🤭
This melody is My sweet lord ?
Yes. Eric and George played a trick on the band by telling them he was going to sing "My Sweet Lord", so they actually were confused.
@@mikewarns That’s genius lmao 😂
He sold his soul to the devil
To put this in context: "Rutland Weekend Television" was a sketch show on the BBC with Eric Idle and Neil Innes (and the show where the Rutles started). This episode has a running gag where guest star George has been booked to sing but all he wants to do is to act in a pirate sketch, an ambition frustrated until this takes place before the show's final credits.
You are correct
I want to be a pirate
A pirate's life for me
All my friends are pirates
And sail the b. b. sea
I've got a jolly roger
It's black and white and vast
Get out of your skull and crossbones
And I'll run it up your mast
With a yo-ho-ho
And a ya-ha-ha
And a ye-hee-hee-ho-hum
With a yo-ho-ho
And a ya-ha-ha
And a yum-yum-jum-jum
MANY THANKS
I remember this. I waited up all night to watch Harrison do My Sweet Lord and he did this. Hysterical.
"Introducing George Harrison as pirate Bob"
This was the ending credit 🤣😁😍
0:57 I love how the presenter goes on stage furious with George, but George just presses his suit...
"Sail the BBC'" :D That pun is hilarious
He said BB sea as in the big blue sea not what your thinking lol
@@certifiedlampost8587 Hmm, I didn't know about that. But I think that makes that line even funnier, because it can be heard that way or another. :)
@@certifiedlampost8587BBC is the television show…. Not what you’re thinking. ;)
Y’all…it’s a pun. So like, it has two meanings that both work simultaneously. That’s…that’s what a pun is lmao
I really wish we got a serious studio recording of this.
May be possible with AI
my sweet pirate mmm my pirate
This was my favourite one piece opening
He sold his soul to devil said pastor Joe schimmel
YA YO YA YO
Let's be honest here George Harrison is the true pirate king even if Mr. Elastic ora-ora guy fight in chapter 2,000 George Harrison is just unbeatable
The guy walking onto stage like “WTF are you doing??!!???” is everything 😂
I was a big George fan at this time and stayed up late because he was the guest star on the show. He came on reight at the end and I actually thought we were getting a lve version. Fell about laughing!
The 14 people who disliked this were the people working for the BBC
This is a pretty hilarious way of getting back at the people who sued George over the melody for “my sweet lord”
That slide guitar is so amazing!
Roger Rettig, backed many big names in the 60s and appeared in Carry On films when they needed a band. Now lives in the US and recently retired from touring.
And you're still asking me why George is my favourite...
It’s even more funnier now that I think about it because ‘my sweet lord,’ as everyone would of known, was accused of copying ‘he’s so fine.’ So the fact that he’s singing a pirate-themed song, when pirated means reproducing work without permission, just makes me LOL
I have watched this an unhealthy amount of times
This is very crisp compared to the other clips I've seen of this, though it does fade out too early
Appreciate your comments.
dude, this is a masterpiece.
Bence de
😂 George had a great sense of humor I'll bet he's still entertaining in his new life 🙏
He sings
He plays floor
But most importantly he is a pirate.
What makes it for me is the way George is acting like a naughty boy, glancing round as if he were expecting the producer to any second cut the power and studio lighting
Younger George : Humorist Boyfriend
Older George : Humorist Dad
The minute he comes In with the pirate voice is so jarring and unexpected, its amazing and always gets me.
George and his great sense of humour- just live him
I found this on accident, and I’m not disappointed
"I didn't come here to sing. I came here to act!"
That’s gonna be everyone when The Beatles Get Back documentary series is released in November on Disney+
That will be one to watch.
In typical George fashion, he came back at them with the ultimate sarcasm. Well, done, Georgie boy. Stick it to them.
“All together now”
I knew he loved Monty Python but didn't know about this. Cool.
He financed near all of Life of Brian. He took a loan on his Friars Park to fund it, then made it back and much more. Just in case you didn't know.
Love the look of utter confoundment on that guy at the keyboard
Would've loved to see George play Captain Hook. Idk why, it just works.
I love how just two seconds after the other people playing instrument looked confused they were just like" oh so we're doing this now alright"
I can't explain how much I love him
Rutland Weekend Television is such an underrated gem, it bridged the gap between Monty Python's Flying Circus and Not The Nine O'Clock News.
Always let a Beatle do what he wants with a song.
George living his boyhood dream of being a pirate🤗
Ladies And gentleman,Now .. George Harrison's MY SWEET PIRATE !
Out a site! Being a total Beatlefreak, how did I miss this fabulous clip? Thanks so much for sharing it.
RIP My Sweet George
He did a little trolling
No one sings "Argh" better than George Harrison! Right, George?
Best Comedian, that GEORGE! 🥰❤️💯
He was such a powerhouse you couldn’t shut him down people would stop watching
George was so funny I've heard from so many people that met him that he was a very funny guy
John "I Am the walrus"
George "I Am a Pirate"
The band jumped on that tune quick and with immense taste haha
It cracks me up whenever he starts singing
I just got hoodwinked twice by a deadman, and i enjoyed every second of that
I like how even the band wasn’t expecting it. George just completely loses his mind haha
George could have read a phone book and I would still be amazed by this great man. RIP
That's one of the things I've always loved about George Harrison. His nutty sense of humor. Great clip.
The 12 dislikes are from the the pirates that aren't George's friends.
almost forgot to come back here today
Джордж не только замечательный музыкант. Он, оказывается, ещё и пират! И друзья его-пираты тоже. Сегодня,25февраля 2023 года, Джорджу Харрисону исполнилось бы 80 лет. Добрая, светлая память,и благодарность моему любимому битлу и пирату Джорджу Харрисону.
Can't believe how many people thought this was serious.
Sweet George ❤
Holy hell this is the best thing I’ve seen all year
Bold to say that after barely two weeks
My Sweet Lord
when it was just George singing it sounded very Australian
Meh I don’t hear it he’s not dropping his rs
Maybe his pirate impression and aussie impression are very alike
We Australians are convicts, not pirates
@@peterwallace411 YARRrrrr exactly
All the Beatles liked to mess around and just have fun. It’s a lot of fun to mess with TV hosts and news journalists especially when they have to just roll with it and try to be professional
Cheers to the band for playing along
George and Monty Python: two of my favorite things coming together :)
And they called it The Rutles :-D
This is the ringtone on my phone...
Now that’s a good idea!
i have seen this video 5 times today and it still gets me
It is exhilarating to see George Harrison do that which he loved to do during his earthly existence. What a sense of homour! But my fave is from a clip of George is from Help. "It's a thingy; a feindish thingy".
I am nearly sixty-eight, and I have never yet grown weary of that line!
My favorite part is when his shirt was ripped off during the bathroom scene 😁😍
