The Rutles (album)
The Rutles is a soundtrack album to the 1978 telemovie All You Need Is Cash. The album contains over 14 of the tongue-in-cheek, pastiches of Beatles' songs that were featured in the film.
Multiple listenings are required to discern all the sources referenced in titles, lyrics, melodies, and song structures. The primary creative force of the Rutles music was Neil Innes, the sole composer and arranger of the songs. Innes had been the 'seventh' member of Monty Python, as well as one of the main artists behind the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band in the late 1960s, who had been featured in the real Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour movie performing "Death Cab For Cutie".
Innes himself credits the three musicians he recruited to assist him on the project as having been enormously important in helping him capture the feel of The Beatles. Guitarist/singer Ollie Halsall and drummer John Halsey had played together in the groups Timebox and Patto. Multi-instrumentalist Rikki Fataar had played with The Flames before joining the Beach Boys in the early 1970s.

The Rutles
The Rutles (/ˈrʌtəlz/) are a rock band known for their visual and aural pastiches and parodies of the Beatles. This originally fictional band, created by Eric Idle and Neil Innes for 1970s television programming, became an actual group (while remaining a parody of the Beatles) and toured and recorded, releasing many songs and albums that included two UK chart hits.
Created as a short sketch in Idle's UK television comedy series Rutland Weekend Television, the Rutles gained fame after being the focus of the 1978 mockumentary television film, All You Need Is Cash (The Rutles). Actual Beatle George Harrison notably appeared in the film and assisted in its creation. Encouraged by the positive public reaction to the sketch, featuring Beatles' music pastiches by Innes, the film was written by Idle, who co-directed it with Gary Weis. It had 20 songs written by Innes, which he performed with three musicians as "The Rutles". A soundtrack album in 1978 was followed in 1996 by Archaeology, which spoofed the Beatles' Anthology series which had recently been released.

THE RUTLES - I MUST BE IN LOVE.
The Rutles' 'I Must be in Love' from the 'The Rutles' spin-off from Rutland Weekend Television. Neil Innes and Eric Idle starred as the Lennon and McCartney figures. Neil and Eric produced many comedy characters including the Fabulous Bingo Brothers, while Neil Innes is noted for his hilarious take on protest singers in the 'Old Grey Whistle Test' spoof of a Protest Song. Rutland Weekend Television was a television sketch show on BBC2, written by Eric Idle with music by Neil Innes. Two series, the first consisting of six episodes, the second of seven, were broadcast, in 1975 and 1976. A Christmas special also aired on Boxing Day 1975.

Interview with Neil Innes (Part 1) - The Rutles
The late great Neil Innes talks about the wonderful The Rutles - The interview has been unedited. It was originally used for a short news item on Neil Innes - but as the interview is so good, I think it's great to hear the whole interview as Neil was so fabulously entertaining. Neil Innes was an English writer, comedian, and musician. He collaborated with Monty Python and played in the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and The Rutles. Terry Gilliam called him the Seventh Python. In the 1960′s Neil Innes started the Bonzo Dog Band which had a song featured in The Beatles film, Magic Mystery Tour. In the 1970′s, Neil worked closely with the Monty Python team, playing a major role in performing and writing songs for their sketches, even appearing in the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail as ...

The Rutles' 'I Must be in Love' from the 'The Rutles' spin-off from Rutland Weekend Television. Neil Innes and Eric Idle starred as the Lennon and McCartney figures. Neil and Eric produced many comedy characters including the Fabulous Bingo Brothers, while Neil Innes is noted for his hilarious take on protest singers in the 'Old Grey Whistle Test' spoof of a Protest Song.
Rutland Weekend Television was a television sketch show on BBC2, written by Eric Idle with music by Neil Innes. Two series, the first consisting of six episodes, the second of seven, were broadcast, in 1975 and 1976. A Christmas special also aired on Boxing Day 1975.
It was Idle's first television project after Monty Python's Flying Circus ended the previous year. The show is perhaps best known as the catalyst for The Rutles. The show/s have never been made available for DVD but can still be obtained in video format.
Rutland Weekend Television or RWT centred on "Britain's smallest television network", situated in England's smallest (and mainly rural) county, Rutland.
The show's title alludes to the small and real television broadcaster London Weekend Television . A Rutland TV station would be pretty small, so a Rutland Weekend Television would have to be ridiculously tiny. The joke was doubly meaningful, as instead of a light entertainment budget, Idle had accidentally been granted a presentation budget — not sketch comedy — so the weekly patter about their inability to buy props and sets was quite real. Indeed the last show of the first series featured Idle and Innes, stripped and shivering in blankets under a bare bulb, singing about how the power's about to be shut off. Idle speaks bitterly about these conditions now but his attempts to overcome them formed the basis of a lot of the show's best jokes.
Idle, in a 1975 Radio Times interview, remarked, 'It was made on a shoestring budget, and someone else was wearing the shoe. The studio is the same size as the weather forecast studio and nearly as good. We had to bring the sets up four floors for each scene, then take them down again. While the next set was coming up, we'd change our make-up. Every minute mattered. It's not always funny to be funny from ten in the morning until ten at night. As for ad-libbing, what ad-libbing? 'You don't ad-lib when you're working with three cameras and anyway the material goes out months after you've made it.'
