Post Monty Python, Eric Idle had a tv show about the Rutles, aka the Prefab Four: Dirk, Nasty, Stig and Barry, who were quite a lot like the Beatles, only sillier. Here, Eric Idle introduces the phenomenon and shows some of their highlights.

One question: When are the Rutles Remasters coming out? ;)

That's funny. I thought that the earlier comments indicated that people reading and responding to them have already seen "All You Need Is Cash!" My apologies to the two or three people in the world who have never heard of The Rutles for ruining The Surprise Ending of This Hilarious Film!

I saw this sitting in the offices of WEA music in Brisbane in 1978 ... it slipped into distant memory until today....wow

Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Evidently John loved this movie so much that when Eric Idle ran it by him and let him watch he refused to give it back and watched it several times in succession.
-
Why can't the PreFab Four unite again now that Oasis have split up. There is a gap in the market.
-
Perhaps it was never broadcast in Australia due to the unspeakable tragedy of Leggy.
(still shocked and stunned...)
-
My favorite Rutles single has always been "Hurt Back", with the flip side "I Warned You (She's Quite Heavy)".
-
Maybe someday they'll do another "mockumentary and give The Stones the treatment. The group could be "The Gathering Moss". With such "hits" as: "Let's Shag Your Wife Together" "As Beers Go Bye Bye" "(I Can't Vet No) Sadist Faction" "Deep Knee Squat Flash" "Wild Divorces" "Under My Bum" "Can't You See Me Buzzing?" "Let It Scab" "Time Ain't On My Side" "Sympathy For the Lawyer" and my personal favorite- "You Can't Always Get Rid of What You Don't Want" (It's not "Hippy Rock", it's "Herpie Rock"!
