For me this is the best song / segment in the entire film! Frankie Howerd, retro arcade videos games, Lurch from the Adams family and vocoda synth / funk base!!! ...it dont get much better!!!
They tried to make a reasonably genuine homage to the Beatles - Using the glitz, glitter & glam of the 70's. Part of me wants to dismiss it as a " polished / golden turd ", the other part really wants to like it.
It's been a long time since I've seen this movie. I had it on VHS back in the day.

I have to admit I actually like this song! It's funky, and totally different. It's really not bad, and what a time capsule! Frankie Howerd is off the wall as well. Some things just make your mouth hit the floor and star in amazement. This video is one of them!
@jc1305us I like this a lot too. Max Middleton and Bernard Purdie are on it, so that's half of one of my favorite '70s groups Hummingbird. Plus George Martin produced and arranged it,

@Trogdor250 - I agree. The more celebs & plot devices they jam into this,the crummier or campier ( or both ) it gets. A Beatles homage by 80's musicians sounds like a recipe for disaster,a la Captain Hazelwood & the Exxon Valdez. I still liked some parts, though, proving that a turd can be polishable.
I loved being a kid in the '70's. There were plenty of freaks, and plenty of weird things going on (this film included), but it was all in the spirit of fun.
The Computerettes actually had names, y'know. :-P They mentioned 'em in the novel, though they didn't say which was which (especially since there were three in the book). I think two of them were Martha and Irma...
This is from the movie "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band" starring Peter Frampton, The Bee Gees and George Burns, with guest appearances by Aerosmith, Steve Martin, Billy Preston and Earth Wind and Fire.
this movie just proves the cosmic certainty that something can suck and be gloriously entertaining at the same time. (and i think 90% of the music is genuinely cool.)
Here's the kicker: the producer and director was the same guy who did Saturday Night Fever and Grease...I guess the third time's not the charm, lol. And you're right: it really wasn't that bad...some of the songs were done well.
Oh, I know. He did "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Tommy" as well.
Unfortunately, after this, Stigwood's luck remained bad - "Staying Alive", "Times Square", "Grease 2"... I never saw TS, but Staying Alive was AWFUL. "Grease 2" is surprisingly good, even though it tanked - better than the original, I think.
Sir Paul had nothing to do with this movie, despite several websites claiming he (and George) made cameos at the end. I'm not actually sure this is the Bee Gees though, they were never credited for it. (They DID, however, do "She's Leaving Home" - note how different that sounds from this.)
Frankie Howerd in his first and only Hollywood film!! A long way away from playing Lurcio in Up Pompeii!! :P But, it's worth it to see him in the same film as the Bee Gees, Steve Martin, Aerosmith and Alice Cooper!! :D

It's actually the Bee Gees (along with Steven Tyler, I think) singing through a vocoder.

I read somewhere that The Bee Gees, Steven Tyler and possibly Sir Paul himself may have combined on all of the robot's singing vocals. Cool thought!
