"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 ...

"This week, thanks to The Rocker, we can add another fictional band to the long list of music groups created solely for the movies. They’re called Vesuvius, and they’re an ‘80s hair band with a hit song titled “Promised Land.” As part of the film’s marketing, the track was offered as a free download for play on Rock Band (see the clip above). But if you ask me, the wrong tune was used in the promotion. Another song from the soundtrack, also credited to Vesuvius, is called “Pompeii Nights,” and it’s definitely the better of the two. I’m not surprised, though. While most people favor the songs of Spinal Tap, a once-fictional band that has become popular enough to evolve into a “semi-fictional” performing act, I’ve preferred such gems as “The Whites of Their Eyes” by PEZ® People, from The Big Picture.

"I love this parody of the Beatles! This Rockumentary got my head bobbing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and the music is funny and definitely Beatles style. "
