Hey, what do you think each song is supposed to be, and from what album? Here's what I'm guessing:
1) Major Happy's Up And Coming Once Upon A Good Time Band: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)...Album:Sgt Rutter's Only Darts Club Band (why isn't the song called
that?!)
2) Rendezvous: With A Little Help From My Friends (Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)...Album:Sgt Rutter's Only Darts Club Band
3) Questionnaire:
(Magical Mystery Tour)...Album: Tragical History Tour
4) We've Arrived! (And To Prove It We're Here): Back in the U.S.S.R. (The Beatles-The White Album)...Album: The Rutles-The nutse Album (even though it appears to be about their arrival in 1964)
5) Lonely-Phobia: Things We Said Today (A Hard Day's Night)...Album: A Hard Day's Rut (even though it's sung by Stig, there was no Dirk on this album)
6) Unfinished Words:
-(what's the deal with this song? it sounds like its circa 1966 like it would be a single from the Revolter era or on the American Yesterday, Tomorrow...and Lunchtimes, or possibly even Rutle Soul (could be Nowhere Man))
7) Hey Mister!:
-(obviously a later Rutles track, probably from Shabby Road...could be Let it Rot or nutse album too, i guess...someone said it could be I Want You (She's So Heavy) but part of it sounds like Revolution...)
8) Easy Listening: Act Naturally (Help!)...Album: Ouch!
9) Now She's Left You:
-(another confusing one-sounds like an early track, possibly a demo or single or from Please Rut Me...any ideas?)
10) The Knicker Elastic King:
(obviously from Sgt. Rutter, most likely Getting Better (perhaps Fixing A Hole or Mr. Kite)...i know this wasn't written to be a Rtules song, but still...)
11) I Love You:
-(obviously an early song, probably off of Meet the Rutles or Please Rut Me or a single...same opening as With A Girl like You and Between Us...perhaps Till There Was You??)
12) Eine Kleine Middle Klasse Musik: Come Together (Abbey Road)...Album: Shabby Road
13) Joe Public.....Tomorrow Never Knows (Revolver)? or perhaps Rain....definitely 1966........from Revolter?
14) Shangri-La...sounds like a whole bunch of stuff combined such as: Hey Jude, A Day In The Life, For No One, Mr. Kite, Magical Mystery Tour.....etc.-this one's supposed toactually be from 1996 though...when the "thrutles" got back together)
15) Don't Know Why...another reunion song....souinds like Free As a Bird (1996)
16)Back In '64 ......uhh obviously When I'm 64 from Sgt. Pepper, although its another reunion song that's actually supposed to be from 1996)
uh....let me know what ya think...yes, i do have a life...but i was bored....and i know that a lot of the songs weren't originally intended to be rutles songs, but it's still fun......
Barry sounds so much like Ringo! I like his Rendezvous & easy listening!
(Magical Mystery Tour)...Album: Tragical History Tour
