Deeply. :-)

If you're a fan of British comedy (esp. Monty Python) and you're familiar 
with the Beatles story, The Rutles video is absolutely essential viewing. 
"The Rutles" (aka "All You Need Is Cash") is a brilliant parody of the 
Beatles career. Eric Idle (from Python) and Neil Innes (from the Bonzo Dog 
Band) star.

There's two official Rutles albums. The first is basically the soundtrack for 
the video and has 20 superb Beatles parody songs. Some are outright lifts 
(like "Ouch!" for "Help!" and "Get Up And Go" for "Get Back"), the others are 
just so "Beatlesque" that it's sick.

A few years ago, Innes got the other two living Rutles back together and did 
a reunion album called ARCHAEOLOGY, presented as the Rutles equivalent of the 
ANTHOLOGY series.

As you can probably guess, I'm a big Rutles fan. Weirdly enough, I probably 
listen to The Rutles more than I do the Beatles.
