The Rutles - Piggy In The Middle

[HoolaHoopKid]

HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE PIGGY IN THE MIDDLE!

[MrSlitskirts]

On the DVD there's the Extra's/Audio Commentary, and they explain that the glider wasn't scripted/part of the movie ! Also that it came very close to the "Police" up on the wall. Regards.

Are there any good tv shows coming from the UK anymore? I remember all the great stuff like Monty Python, Benny Hill, Here come the Double Deckers, the Wobbles etc. What's coming out of England that is good now?

[theFishy70]

@RetroGoop Doctor Who, but as far as comedy goes I'm not very sure. However, Doctor Who.

I heard this on the radio... years ago... and thought it was a real song!

SNL and Monty Python. Thanks Eric and Mick... and Mr. Simon.

Buy the damn movie... it's good for you.

[dlawrick]

Just discovered this again after probably 25 years. Innes was absolutely brilliant. All of these songs were well crafted and well recorded and captured the absolute essence of the Beatles sounds. Absolutely awesome.

[TeekiesPlace]

THE RUTLES is such a brilliant parody of the Beatles...if you've never watched it, give it a shot.

[yokai1968]

Shit that glider was a bit close!! 1:57

[wallofvideo]

if you play 1:11-1:14 backwards does it say anything?

[Chazticus09]

@wallofvideo It actually says"This little piggie went to market.."When I first bought the album,I just had to play it backwards to see what it said..

[Pokal777]

Fantastic!

[nostalgiahistoria67]

Piggly Wiggly groovy!

[element7795]

You guys know this is from 1978, Gilda Radner is in there somewhere.

[BggProductions]

Damn, this is almost as good as Walrus. Innes is a genius.

[deepvoodoo]

"Bible punching heavyweight/ Evangelistic boxing kangaroo/ orangutan and anaconda/ Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse/ even Pluto too!"

I try to be apolitical, but TELL me nobody could make a Bush joke out of that!

[damieandark]

the best spoof film ever and that includes Spinal Tap.

[hectorr91]

This little piggie went to market

[weeniebeenieboo]

I love when the glider flies over the wall as the "outro" starts...is it just me?

[SamBuddwing]

@weeniebeenieboo No, it's not just you - I thought it was a brilliant bit of empty, pointless symbolism in keeping with the spoof. I was astonished to hear that it was *not* a planned moment - apparently, the pilot was harassing the production crew. (Considering there's an airplane that buzzes past the Beatles in the "I Am the Walrus" video, I could have sworn this was totally deliberate.)

[weeniebeenieboo]

The Rutles film and music is GENIUS

[alramone1]

love the shot at 1:58

[vosjeroen]

"Their first major flop, the Tragical History Tour"... Haha, brilliant

[ZeTubb]

The coda is pure genius, I can't stop listening to it.

[coxtriggs]

i can have me brother in stitches with this song ('specially the 2nd verse), cos he thinks it's mad that i know all the words, he's right, mad but brilliant

[Pokal777]

"i'm dancing in my underwear...and i dont care" Excellent video!

[Bizarronumber4]

This sequence is such a brilliant parody of both Magical Mystery Tour (film) and

I Am the Walrus (song).

[Canadianabanana]

I love the end. "this little piggy went WOOOOOOOOOOO"

[theultimateducksfan]

@Canadianabanana I always try and catch that so I can just randomly yell "WOOOOOO!" lol

[Pokal777]

Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse..Even PLUTO TOO!!!

[discojosh69]

What a great movie.
