I went to see Nirvana in about 1992 in Newcastle, UK. They had a support band called shonan Kinfe ( I think) some little japanese girls, they did a cover of goose step momma. I couldnt believe it.
@sica424 That was Shonen Knife. When Kurt first heard them he reportedly said "Now i know what its like to be a screaming teenage girl at a Beatles concert! " They are still playing wildly fun and happy pop-punk music and 2011 is their 30th year anniversary. Check them out here on Youtube (sorry I can't link). My favorite band live (no kidding!).
This woulda been the Beatles 1st hit if the Germans won the war,lol except it'd be goose step Hitler.Errm yeah haha I do think it's best Hitler did'nt win.
This is from about 20 years ago, right? I remember seeing a TV movie or something, in the '80s, wasn't it? The trousers, very tight. Left nothing to the imagination! So that was maybe even 30 years ago, The Rutles documentary farce. Greetings from France.
@TrekToons I remember it in the 1980s. I saw it when I lived in Brooklyn, but may have been a rerun. I'd kind of like to see it again. I didn't really get into the Beatles seriously until the 1990s! I was born in 1957. I think a lot of that farce went over my head. Egad, I went through a Beatles phase in the early 1990s, I sure must have been annoying! I played FOR NO ONE while putting on my makeup and getting ready to leave for work or fun from the husband I was breaking up from . . .
@MontyPython93 So did Leggy Mountbatten (a retail chemist from Bolton) their first manager. When he first saw them he hated their music, he hated their hair, he hated their noise, but he loved their trousers.
No, "Some Other Guy" was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, the same team responsible for writing such classics as "Hound Dog", "Jailhouse Rock", "Yackety Yak", and "Kansas City". Hope that helps.
John Lennon had a mind of his own, and he could make his own decisions. He and Cynthia's marriage was always troubled, and it was probably for the better that they split up, rather than stay together unhappy. John was a great man, but he could be a real bastard too, don't blame others for his own choices...
excuse me, but which country are you from ? I'm from Britain, and can tell authentic crows from recently filmed crowds. The first 20 seconds might be original, but after that they're wearing 80s style clothes. I know cause I grew up in the 1980s.
You should hear SHONEN KNIFE do it, especially the mis-translation of certain lyrics, "you've got nothing to eins, zwei, drei, fear" to "you got nothing to ein zwei dry with." Classic. Great cover too.
It's a shame they couldn't have got the exras in the crowd to dress a bit more appropriately for the early 1960s. Surely fining 1960's style clothes couldn't have been that difficult. The crowd clearly look very 1976'ish. Apart from this small detail: absolutely fantastic !!!
Yes, this is a parody of a Cavern-era song called "Some Other Guy." There's footage of them performing the song in the Cavern in August 1962 -- believed to be the first video footage of the Beatles performing. Search for it here on YouTube.
Everybody knows that tea is illegal in Massachusetts with the whole tea bust in the Boston Tea Party. I can't stand going everyday without tea! At night I put on my Rutles album and I drink tea. It feels so good too.
Well, actually, he did play and sing, he was the most musical of the Pythons, he played the guitar and sang most of their songs, but no, in the RUtles, some one else does the singing n everything... Ollie someone...
Are you kidding? In the early days they did a ton of covers, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Broadway musicals, you name it (It wasn't until "A Hard Day's Night" that they did an album composed completely of originals, and on the next one, "Beatles For Sale," they had to fall back on alot of covers for a lack of originals).
i totally agree they enjoyed singing their fav singers groups
if i'm right i hope
paul was a fan of little richard
george besides carl perkins was chuck berry, john alot of people but he admired ray charles that's where love me do come from the opening john said he kinda borrowed it from ray
Actually the opening harmonica from "Love Me Do" came from a song from 1962 called "Hey Baby", by...I think his name was Georgie Fame (you can hear the song in the movie Dirty Dancing).
Oh, oops! SOrry, i just read about that somewhere. Thanx for setting the record straight.. I only became a Beatlemaniac a couple of weeks ago, so i don't know that much. Hey, is it true that Bob DYlan was the one who introduced them to pot?

"The Beatles Live at the Star-Club" (Hamburg, germany) is 4 sides of covers. In their bar-band days in Germany, they played many hours a night, and had to know all the popular songs. That is where the Beatles became a good band, and didn't know it-when they returned to England, they blew everybody away.
I saw Shonen Knife in 1992 too, in Norwich?!?! But not with Nirvana, although I did see them at Reading Festival.
