Was this an actual movie that got a lot of publicity at the time, or was it just a little side project that Eric Idle and the other guys did?

[SgtRuttersClubBand]

@MontyPythonFan55 It was a Rutland Weekend Television sketch turned into a made for tv movie that bombed in its first airing, later got better publicity from a SNL sketch.

Are all these songs original or are they actual beatles songs with different lyrics?

[SgtRuttersClubBand]

@Squadillah Depends on the song, "Get up and go" "Double Back Alley" and "OUCH!" was almost a exact replica of the Beatles song with new lyrics, "Back in 64" and "Major Happy" give a similar vibe and tune, but are different or add elements of other songs. "Living in hope" "Shangri-la" "Hold My Hand" and "Questionnaire" Combine a lot of songs into almost a medley. "Now She's Left You" and "Unfinished Words" are mostly Beatle sounding. Check the descriptions of the songs i posted for more info.

And more Rutles hits:

"While my guitar gently warps"

"Eight delays a week"

'The continuing colonoscopy of Bungalow Bill"

"The salad of John & Yoko"

"Got to get you into my van"

'Maxwell's silver hamster"

and 'You never give me your monkeys"

This kind of musical comedy is far more interesting than most "humorous" TV or films - because it is Art! Awesome!

[Melchersson]

@SgtRuttersClubBand They are all great musicians in real life Neil Innes, Ricky Fataar and John Halsey. Eric Idle only play the piano from what I know. Or....

[zuneslave]

This is the greatest mocumentary ever made...

The tunes are great, the back stories are pure comic genius.

I would love to start a Rutlemania band !

[fuckthecuntsonyoutub]

This is all true. The biggest conspiracy of all time. The Beatles copied The Rutles. I was there with my cousin Colin. Colin could put a whole mars bar in his mouth and still snog his girlfriend Sharon. Sharon was a tart and although she said I set fire to her knickers she was a liar.

Not enough people know about this.

[ScarySadFlan]

I think it was the trousers...

[Studmasterify]

Forget the Beatles. This IS the music that inspired OASIS!!!

[wvdpanhuysen]

This is a very well documented documentary about this world famous popular music quartet; I live in hope that they will re-unite some day, but because Dirk established the Punk Floyd after the Rutles sadly split, I fear that they will never play together again.

This is comical genius. Any fan of comedy must see this at least once.
