Hard Days Rut

Under discussion:

The Rutles  (1978)

 Obviously i have loved this since 1978.. Neil Innes created such brilliant ,affectionate parodies/pastiches of the entire span of the Beatles catalogue. I'm prompted to add a few lines,after spotting a glaring error in the above review. .. To work properly ,each song has to be a slightly "off" version of the original.  So It's "Please please Hold MY Hand".. as opposed to "i wanna hold your hand".(It's certainly NOT "please please let me hold your hand" ).soppy inadequacy ,replacing assertive sassy presumption. All the Beatles totally approved of and loved "the Rutles" George Harrison appears adding a further layer of irony ,as he reports on the looting of "RutleCorp" ("Apple").. Some of the songs are  as good,i would contend as the "real" thing... from "Number One" to  "Get up and Go"  Neil ,singing "Cheese and Onion" on Saturday Night Live was ,apparently mistaken by many for John Lennon ...
