Rutles, what is their legacy?*

Their latest Greatest hits collection, available on CD, Vinyl and as a suppository.

 

Neil Innes is a treasure, for sure. "I'm the Urban Spaceman" did make a 50 greatest songs of the '60's list a few years ago.

 

Tea has been legal in Canada for six months now. Wouldn't have happened without the Rutles. Now if only they would legalize sugar...

 

And bisquits!

 

Notice every time he sings "get up and go" he's looking right at Chastity Hitler

 

Saw this once years and years ago. It was ahead of its time, and too smart for the room my TV was in.

 

The Chinese drank coffee until The Rutles, since then it's been nothing but brew, brew, brew.

 

It's gonna be a long time before they legalize biscuits. Look what biscuits did to Ron during the recording of Let It Rot...sad

 

They will be remembered long after The Beatles reputation has waned and forgotten..

mainly for the tight trousers...

 

Biscuits have undermined many a fine artist's career....

 

I don't like the Shabby Road remix. At all.

 

a great Beatles parody...

 

"Cheese and Onions"
Do I have to spell it out ?

 

It didn't need remixing. The mystery is why Tragical History Tour was passed over.

 

C-H-E-E-S-E-O-N-I-and yes-ONO

 

and CAKE...Dirk flirted with cake during the Sgt. Rutter's sessions, I recall

 

for a long time I preferred the Rutles over the Beatles - it wasn't until I deep dived on the latter, thanks to a Beatles fanatic friend, that I became a fan.

 

Brilliant !
The play on letters never occurred to me like that for some reason !


* seriously ! It's so obvious now that you pointed it out - it's hard to believe, I just never thought of "Ono". We hear John's great "Oh Yeeaaaaaaah !" on "Glass Onion", I just thought Neil was merely inverting that to "Oh no". (!)

that's really great

 

The best scene in movie history.

 

She didn't break up the Rutles, but she did invade Russia

 

The hilarious fact that Innes sued Oasis and now gets a songwriting credit on one of their songs says everything about The Beatles and the their top two tribute acts.

Dirk and Stig should've continued on as a duo.

 

I love the Rutles!!!

I've heard of a Rutles tribute band that is supposed to be very good. I think they call themselves The Beatles........for some odd reason.

 

I think it was their trousers.

 

No real legacy. Just fun.

 

They made the sixties what they are today!
