I've seen the TV movie 'The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash' made a couple of years later but not the original sketch. 👀

Rutland Weekend Television (12th November 1976). The Rutles created a musical legend that will last a lunchtime.

I saw Neil Innes play a solo gig in a pub in Auckland in 2002.

I love the harmonica on this. 😆

I'm still feeling a bit "Rut-ly", so here's another, from 1994, Chicago B Fest. #NeilInnes #Rutles #Beatlefest www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C5V...

Neil Innes wrote all the songs for The Beatles parody band, The Rutles. This one is from their mockumentary, "All You Need Is Cash." Here, on the piano, he plays "Blue Suede Schubert."

If you've never heard of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, you're in for a crazy treat. This is where Neil Innes came from, who later wrote all the music for The Rutles, The Beatles parody that included Eric Idle of Monty Python. Here's "I'm The Urban Spaceman."

If The Rutles seems similar to The Beatles, it's intentional. Eric Idle of Monty Python, Ricky Fataar, John Halsey and Neil Innes created their impersonation. Innes wrote the music and Idle wrote the mockumentary All You Need Is Cash that came out in 1978.

There are probably not too many blogs in which Ronald Blythe (Akenfield, The Age of Illusion, Word From Wormingford) and Neil Innes (How Sweet to Be an Idiot, Urban Spaceman, Shangri-La) appear together. But here's one.
