Actually I realized I'd mispelled it the second after I typed it but in YouTube's infinite wisdom they don't allow you to correct your posts so screw them. LOL ... I guess I'll just have to say "what's with these crazy kids and their rock and the roll and their crazy names anyhow? You kids get off my lawn!!"
nothing comical about it, or serious either. Magical Mystery Tour represents an acid trip pretty well - very generous-hearted: this stripper scene is all about that - honest - what the guys really would like to see. What's GREAT about it is that IN THOSE DAYS a girl "getting topless" in public was still a REALLY BIG DEAL - which is proper. Mainstream culture got very jaded after that. The stripper is incredibly classic; the band, and the editing of various angles and textures is psychedelic!
@andy86i good call andy - you're probably right. Are you aware that John and Paul saw fit to sing "tit-tit-tit-tit" as a background vocal in the Rubber Soul song "A Girl"? John said, much later, that they put that in just to see if anyone was listening. (Well my high-school friends and I were certainly listening - knew every note and nuance of that song and all the good Beatles songs - but it never occurred to us that they might be saying THAT. We just innocently thought "dit-dit-dit-dit".
@dakersting in live performances John would sometimes replace words when the screaming was so loud they couldnt be heard. he sang " i want to hold your gland" a line which made it into the film" I want to hold your hand" by robert zemeckis
I mean even the song "Death cab for cutie"...who was always considered "the cute one"? The clues could not be more plain if it was announced the whole thing was a farce to cover up Pauls' death. The ole "let this all come out in '69 and then so long as no Beatle says otherwise,we'll sink the reality of what really happened. TAVISTOCK INSTITUTE is probably still rolling on the floor laughing at their greatest achievement of mind manipulation {at the time}.
Of course that's where the band got their name. Where else have you heard a reference to Death Cab for Cutie that could have influenced the bands name? Also, the woman is really a professional stripper that was hired just for this one segment. They had to censor the film because it was being aired on BBC TV.
This song and performance can be best appreciated when you keep it in historical perspective...this was 1967! Virtually no one excepts the Bonzos (and the Mothers Of Invention) were making fun of 50's/Elvis-type songs and lounge singers. There are good reasons why the Beatles and the guys in Monty Python were influenced by them and supported them.
And the CENSORED banner is there because this premiered on British TV at Christmas time in 1967!!
This song is about Cutie who goes out on the town to make her boyfriend jealous. She ends up making out with the cabdriver while he's driving. He either runs a red light because he "can't stop" or the cab gets jealous and kills them. Hince the line "Don't you know that baby, cabs can kill".
@debjorgo - If it's "curves can kill", that kind of makes the cab seem less at fault. The cab driver is distracted by Cutie and loses control in the curves, or,,, more likely, he gets distracted by Cuties curves.
The whole point of this scene was that The Beatles themselves used to perform onstage in Strip-Clubs in Hamburg & that strippers used to join them onstage & remove their clothes. It really is that simple, no big mystery! P.S. You don't have to pretend to like the song, everyone is entitled to their preferences & opinions. For me though, its excellent!

@TheAlienesque I fucking grew up with the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. I'm going To Bring A Watermelon is brilliant. How this sleep walking Elvis parody qualifies as a good song is beyond me. Just because they were a wonderful band we have to pretend they were uniformly good at writing songs? Those two things are not at all the same thing. Musically it's without an idea, like Allan Sherman.
Actually, can't decide which bit is funnier... John Lennon's eyes popping out of his head, or Viv Stansall pretending nothing's happening right next to him?
@TheOneartist Remember The Beatles in the early '60s PERFORMED as a strip club band in Germany for several years. No idea if the girls knew any of that though. Suspect Brian Epstein kept the Beatles' past as quiet as he could.
@cfortunato58 Though moderately unwise of Paul McCartney to allow a talented group with a sharp sense of irony and pastiche to show up the woeful absence of it in the majority of this film. The closing, Beatles-performed pastiche (Your Mother Should Know) manages to be particularly lifeless after this performance.
Vivian Stanshall was the lead singer for this song. Among the Bonzo Dog Band members, I consider Viv to be Lennon of the group. Neil Innes, who played piano, is considered the McCartney of the Bonzos.
John seems to genuinely enjoy this, whereas George seems to sit there and applaud indulgently as if a 9-year-old had just given a fine speech on the history of the stapler and he felt he needed to seem encouraging. I'm not sure if the timing on this idea would have been right but I kind of imagine him thinking, "well I certainly don't want to be rude or seem un-hip but...*sigh* there really isn't anything new under the sun. Can I just go back to the bus and meditate now?"
@zephiloyd The Beatles put a lot of secret messages and hints in their music saying Paul is dead. It's obvious the messages were put in on purpose, but I think it's more of a joke they played. I'm pretty sure the Paul we have today is the real deal.
@finalconsecration If it was such a joke why did Lennon get all nervous and awkward when posed the question, and McCartney just dismiss it as a crazy theory, as though there was no substance to it, when there is over 100 clues. Have you watched the Winged Beatle?
@finalconsecration No way dude. Paul died in a car crash and it drove John crazy with guilt. The plot was hatched by MI6 and was brilliant because they kept it secret through all the years as all the Beatles agreed to do. But when John talked to George about comming clean in 1980,he got snuffed. Faul could care less about Lennons' murder. He was relieved actually. As he said himeslf,"Well...it's a bummer ain't it?"
"Magical Mystery Tour" was a BBC Christmas special from '67 that bombed so bad that Sir Paul became clinically depressed over the whole thing. It sucked out loud then and it's even worse now.Neil Innes was the absolute best part of the video.I have a friend who watched this clip for 72 hours straight then signed himself into rehab.
I like in his description, Bonzodofans writes that this was "probably" where the band got their name. Like, where else would that name have come from?
@Wormtongue13 If you don't know it already, please check-out..." We are normal " from the album The doughnuts in Granny's Greenhouse on youtube, my favorite Bonzo number. Elvis couldn't touch Viv for star quality and sex appeal.
@funkyalfonso In the US the album came out titled Urban Spaceman. It's one of my all-time favorites. All the songs are great, especially "We Are Normal", and "My Pink Half of the Drain Pipe". Cheers.
Something to think about. This song was recorded in 1967. It precedes Joseph and the Amazing Tech......the show was first presented as a 15-minute pop cantata at Colet Court School in London in 1968. In Joseph the Pharaoh's song has a suspiciously similar tune and is also sung like Elvis. Did Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber steal the music concept from the Bonzo's??? They were just kids then and could have heard their fellow Brits Death Cab for Cutie. Just asking!!
So Bonzo Dog Doo Da Band appears in The Beatles' MMT and goes on to BBC's Do Not Adjust Your Set from which fellow cast member Eric Idle goes on to Monty Python who then goes on to make The Rutles with Neil Innis who's in the band and playing piano in this video. That's kinda cool.
@njgothgirl I'm afraid there is already an american rock band named this. They were formed in '97 I think and actually did name the band after this song.
@descendents4life just cz you stick a smiley on it don't turn it into sarcasm DUH.. it means smile not sarcasm. if you had put lol or had it in inverted commas that would have been more appropriate.
Oh my God - I just discovered this - lol. I thought I knew just about everything about the Beatles - how did I miss this for so long! I saw Magical Mystery Tour many times - and still missed this - sigh. I am just glad I found it now - thanks so much for putting it on You Tube - you rock - lol. Thaniks so much - love it .

@njgothgirl I'm afraid there is already an american rock band named this. They were formed in '97 I think and actually did name the band after this song.
