And George Harrison gave "the Rutles" both his blessing, and he played a small cameo as an interviewer in the movieTo say that the music is satirical is to completely miss the point. Innes, along with his own band, had served as the "music director" for Monty Python (that's him singing "the mighty brave Sir Robin ran away/when danger reared its ugly head, he turned and tucked his tail and fled" in "Holy Grail," too), and his absorption of all FOUR Beatles musical talent & tastes made the music for the Rutles sound frightenly like an "undiscovered Beatles album." My personal favorites are "Good Times Roll" with the lyirc, "like ice in a drink/invisible ink/or dreams in the cold light of day/the children of rock and roll never grow old, they just fade away," "Get Up and Go" which, according to legend, kind of "bugged" John Lennon, due to its near direct "reflection" of "Get Back." And the best song on the record/tape/cd, your call, is "Piggy In The Middle." If you are making a "personal tape" or cd or something, and you sequence "Piggy In The Middle" immediately after "I Am The Walrus," honestly, it sounds like the Beatles "paused briefly," dropped the key of the song down two steps, and continued with a fourth & fifth verse. Brilliant. I had the opportunity to view this on/in its inital incarnation as a TV special with a Beatles fanatic. My buddy had warned me that he'd "86 th' TV if it got too stupid." Evidentally, it didn't...by the end of the viewing, we both had our acoustic guitars, and were madly trying to learn/remember the material.Again, this isn't satire: it's more of a reverential "thank you" letter... I gave it "5 Stars" because "500 Stars" wasn't an option. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And now for something completely different....The Rutles! *by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 8, 2003* You will love The Rutles as much as I do if you;1 Love The Beatles. Or, at least have enough knowledge and understanding of Beatle history to appreciate the humor in this clever "mockumentary".The Rutles, or the Pre-Fab Four as they are called, are four lads from Liverpool, England, who make it big, not because of any musical talent, but because of their tight-fitting pants. Rutlemania is born! They are introduced by Ed Sullivan himself (cleverly dubbing the word "Rutles" in place of "Beatles"). The Rutles soon conquer the world! They make hit films like "Hard Days Rut", "Ouch!". But when Nasty (the Lennon-esq member of The Rutles) makes his coment about being "bigger than God" , things soon fall apart for The Rutles. People burn their Rutles records, and record sales go up as people buy records to burn them.Then they make films such as "Tragical History Tour", and "Yellow Submarine Sandwich"(excellent animation, by the way. Looks extremely similar to the actual "Yellow Subarine" film animation!)The George Harrison-esq member is believed to be dead (considered to be the "quiet one" he hasn't spoken since 1966, so people assumed he was dead, and that The Rutles had gotten a wax-dummy replacement) because he is not wearing any pants on the cover of the "Abby Road"-like album; and on "Sgt. Ruters Only Darts Club Band", he is leaning a certain way.Special cameo apperences include Mick Jagger, Paul Simon, George Harrison (keep your eyes open for him. I almost missed him. He plays an interviewer), Gilda Radner, John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, and others.And, 2, if you enjoy British humor, like Monty Python's Flying Circus. Eric Idle, of Monty Python fame, created the Rutles. He plays a few characters in the film, such as the McCartney-esq Rutle, Dirk McQuickly, as well as the documentary interviewer. It is funny when, as the interviewer, he is standing there talking, and the camera moves away, and he has to run to chase after it.Also, this DVD offers, as one of the special features, Eric Idles memoir of making The Rutles; it is good reading. I found out former Beatle, George Harrison, supported Eric Idle all the way, and encouraged him to make the movie. I learned all four Beatles had enjoyed watching The Rutles movie; Especially John and Ringo. Yoko Ono has a good enough sense of humor, as well. She didn't seem to mind being portrayed in the film as "Hitler's daughter"!So...Love and appreciate The Beatles? love to laugh? are in the mood for good humor? Then buy The Rutles now. (Come on, you know you want to) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It Almost Works *by B***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 13, 2005* And in many ways it does. Neil Innes' songs are the clear highlight, and his portrayal of Ron Nasty - a wickedly absurdist version of John Lennon - makes it clear he was drastically underutilized in the Monty Python films. And there are some genuinely uncanny recreations of classic "Beatle Moments" that come perilously close to making you believe you're watching the film biography of an actual band.But if there is one thing that stands out as both the film's primary asset and major detriment, it's Eric Idle. He can take the bows for tapping Neil Innes, for the many spot-on jibes at the whole Beatles legend, and getting the job done in the first place. However, he must also take a few brickbats for his overly broad twitting, as Dirk McQuickly, of Paul McCartney, which diminishes the uncanny genuineness that suffuses the rest of the production. As for his obvious incapacity on the bass (he's not even trying to pretend he's really playing), this is a jarring incongruity when he's shown playing with his "bandmates" - who are all portrayed by professional musicians, including Innes, and look it. The fact that he also shows up in other roles further compromises the realism.Plainly, Idle should have stuck to playing the presenter/narrator/interviewer, a fine creation that could have only benefited from Idle's undivided attention as a performer. McQuickly would in turn have benefited from being given to, say, Ollie Halsall, who did McQuickly's singing (and only got a fleeting moment onscreen as "5th Rutle" Leppo). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/20918539-the-rutles-all-you-need-is-cash](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/20918539-the-rutles-all-you-need-is-cash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
