Rutles, what is their legacy?*

The most celebrated group of the 1970s and culturally the most influential. People will still listen to their music long after Beethoven and Mozart have been forgotten.

 

They made up the money on the suppository on the back end......as I remember they really pushed that version...

 

A Musical Legend That Will Last A Lunchtime

 

Did I ever mention:
My love of "Wacky Packages" & "Hardware Wars", plus knowing Python & SNL pretty much 'primed' me for "All You Need Is Cash" & the album, which I bought immediately after watching the show, when it first aired!
Loved it ever since, AND....
though it took a few years later, I found "Meet The Residents" and Zappa's "We're Only In It For The Money", and bought them for the same reasons...
LONG LIVE PARODY!

 

OR....AS THE CHINESE WOULD PRONOUNCE IT LIKE ROU LEED....BLEW....BLEW... BLEW!!

 

'Trowsus da iawn,' as they say in Wales.

 

A legacy that'll last many lunchtimes.

 

A Damn good album and a fantastic film

 

the fact that we're still discussing them is a fine legacy of years of laughter....love the Rutles!

 

and they will forever keep the Beatles relevant!

 

Love he even has the Lennon cap on as well.

 

Rutles, what is their legacy?*

What I wanna know is
What is The Rutles signature song?

 

Their legacy? That obvious ... I think it was the trousers.

 

He was very active from the Bonzos up until the early 80's. All those albums are worth checking out. Not to mention, his television show The Innes Book of Records, other film work, and he even directed a video for George (Blow Away, I think). He's out on the road at this moment.

 

Questionnaire.

Put your tic in the appropriate box.

 

So weird this comes up.

My 7 year old daughter just discovered them on YouTube an hour ago. She has been watching the movie and loving it.

Weird timing.

 

Legacy?

I think they'd scoff at the very notion.

 

No kidding, I absolutely adore Neil Innes's work. it is by far the best musical work for a parody I have ever seen. some of it is Lennon McCartney tier

 

I have always thought in the back of my mind there'll be nothing to explain, time goes by, as we all know - hour after hour - in this day and age, something tells me loud and clear there's nothing to it. Yesterday has gone, maybe a week or a year, looking back with 20-20 hindsight , just another piece of modern art.

 

Do I have to spell it out ? "C-H-E-E-S-E A-N-D O-N-I-O-N-S", oh no.

 

Maybe it's just the shared reference to the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea but that sounds increasingly like later solo George as it goes on.
At first it sound weirdly like if Oasis tried to imitate the old/new sound of Free Of A Bird & Real Love but accidentally copied Sowing The Seeds Of Love instead. That last line hurts

 

They’re still making music...........

Still a very underrated drummer, mostly because Dirk played almost all of his parts
