Neil Innes sounds EXACTLY like John Lennon!


Their singing voices are eerily similar. Maybe the production has something to do with it but his version of John's interview voice is pretty spot on too. Anyone agree?

reply

I agree. In particular, the scene where the reporter asks him why they've been away from Liverpool for so long as well as the scene where he explains why he and Chasity are sitting in the shower.

Neil has to be John's lost brother; maybe they were separated during the Blitz? Seriously, his resemblance was so uncanny in looks, voice and mannerism is makes you think that the old saw about having a twin somewhere is true.

Dark Knight.. yes it's great; I can't wait for the sequel "Dark and Stormy Knight."

I got the song 'Cheese And Onions' on a Beatles bootleg - I think it was 'Indian Rope Trick' - and was never quite sure if the bootleggers were playing a joke or really thought it was a Beatles outtake. Luckily I had watched The Rutles long before, and spotted it right away, but I'd be curious to know if anyone else got it on a bootleg and actually thought it was a long lost Beatles classic. Anyone care to admit to this?

That's brilliant! I keep expecting to find the song "Get Up And Go" listed as an early version of Get Back on a bootleg, seeing how it basically is the same song, as opposed to a pastiche like the others.
