Or did he? Did Neil Innes ever ask Lennon or McCartney for his opinion on the Rutles? Do you think they were annoyed that they hadn't added such sublime songs to their own back catelogue? Or were they happy that a pastiche put them back in the spotlight in the mid-seventies when their solo torches were burning.
It doesn't matter anymore really. Just please respect the song writing genius of Neil Innes. Anyone who can write a song called Cheese and Onion is pretty special. Anyone who can make a song called Cheese and Onion sound like A Day In The Life is a legend.
And so to get you through the night I would like to take this moment to inform those of you who can read to sing along with me.
"I have always thought in the back of my mind, Cheese and Onion."
Because the Rutles have given us the best song ever. Guess what it's called?
That's right. Get Up And Go which sounds more like Get Back than Get Back does.
