This song alone not only influenced Monty Python with music parody, it trickled to the early years of "Saturday Night Live" (US). In music circles, there would be no "Honey Pie" on The Beatles "White Album" without this song. There also wouldn't be those infamous Jeremy Spencer 50's tribute songs during the best period of Fleetwood Mac (with Peter Green). That trickled into bands such as The Who, and Deep Purple, closing shows with old 50's cover songs. Brilliant!

Viv Stanshall was a big friend of that other great English eccentric Keith Moon. Imagine that!

This was the song the Bonzos did in Magical Mystery Tour (when John and George go into the tent) and inspired a band name, Death Cab For Cutie (later a Monty Python record bit narrated by Idle would serve to inspire the name of the band Toad the Wet Sprocket)

Doesn't one of the tenor sax players look like John Lennon - the one in the hat & shades??
