Possibly a dumb Question

Is there any evidence for the Rutle Sole being the name of Rutles version of Rubber Soul? Both the original liner notes and Rutles website state it being Rutle Soul. I am asking this as I’m working on a Rutles project

Dirk credits

Since we are using real songs when should we credit Dirk McQuickly as a majority song writer only on Halsall tracks / the rare Idle songs that can be used or can we credit McQuickly mainly on songs that we know McCartney mainly or fully wrote like “Yesterday” even if it’s an Innes track. Should just try to use more Halsall / Patto / Timebox tracks?

Are we alowed to make up our own songs

Like if we are making a new page for an album or something are we allowed to make up our own songs for the album or are we not allowed to do that cuz I see other people making albums with real songs (ie. bonzo dog band songs, the flames) and I don't know if I can make up my own songs and lyrics and stuff instead?

Bit sadness

I was looking through some older posts here and through some of the older admin accounts and it's a bit sad where we're at right now. I do hope more people can come to the Wiki (though I doubt it), because I wish not for people's hard work to be forgotten.

Still, I am not sure where we'll go from here. Not as many people are active, and everything just seems a bit... dead. A few of us have already discussed going to separate websites, personally I'm using YouTube.

This Wiki is awesome though, I want to say that. I'm a big fan of The Rutles, ever since I discovered them around February-March of this year. Again, do hope more people can discover this wiki and continue to grow it. I'm not too sure why I'm making this blog, I suppose I just want…

Seriously I leave due to being tired out and now the new wiki is gone?! Rutlemania has reuploaded their old videos. Everyone seems to be leaving too. So how should we proceed?

A new Wiki

I thought that maybe a new, blank wiki would be a great way to drum up activity, considering the number of active admins would increase by at least 1. Probably wouldn't be too hard to start up either (relatively speaking); just copy-and-paste all the articles. Thoughts? Yeah, nah?

A fanart and bits from a Rutles animation I'm working on

I remade a slightly higher resolution logo for the wiki

Made it since the wiki doesn't have an official logo for the main page corner (top left boarder). Could an administrator add it if they're comfortable with it? It would be neat and make the Wiki look more customized. Here's the link too (in case you prefer it, I guess). Thanks

New Rutles fan and I am so intrigued by this Wiki I wish more people saw and interacted with it because this is awsome

also for the love of God make a discussions board like I thought that was mandatory for Wikis where did it go did it grow legs and walk away?

Edit: Just realized that I don't think any of the administrators can add the discussions board, as the Wiki was created before 2011 (before forums/discussion boards were added to the website), so I don't think there could be anyway to add the board. Guess we'll just have to continue using blogs.

So… is Stig really dead?

Stig O’Hara is the guitarist of The Rutles, and drummer for some bands. Some say he was replaced with a wax replica. Let’s debunk it.

Taken from Rutles: Tragical History Tour.

First, he never said anything in public. Even as the "quiet" one he had not said a word since 1962.

Secondly, on the cover of their then latest album, Shabby Road, he was wearing no trousers, and old Italian way of indicating death.

Thirdly, Nasty supposedly sings "I buried Stig" on the song I Am The Waitress from the Tragical History Tour album. In fact he sings "E burres stigano" which is very bad spanish for "Have you a water buffalo?"

Fourthly, on the Sgt. Rutter album he was leaning in the exact position of a dying Yeti (from the Rutland Book of the Dead).

  • Stig is the only R…

The Rutles Never Broke Up…

The following is an actual account of my experiences recently. The nature of what has happened makes me remain “Anonymous”. So as of now, Call Me James Womble.

On 4/12/2024, I experienced something weird that I am still having trouble believing if what I experienced actually happened. I came into the possession of a tape containing a Rutles Album that was never released on the earth, infact, it was also recorded years after they “broke up”. (No, I’m not talking about Klrutu.)

At this point, this is where the story becomes slightly unbelievable. It’s almost embarrassing to explain what actually happened to me, but in the name of Stig, I’ll do it anyways. I’ll tell you what, I’m not on tea and neither am I insane, and hopefully the tracklist ma…

I’m a fan of the Rutles, I even have an entire Apple Music account made for their fictional albums. (Image of the account right there) I want to talk about the rutles here, but There’s no discussions page. My FAVORITE ALBUM is The Wheat Album, and I, am in need of a discussions page.

Semi Automatic track list

This is a post where everyone can post their ideas for the new track list for Semi-Automatic. I do think think “Readymades” has to be “For No One” because apparently Neil made a demo of it around the time of “All You Need Is Cash” Also I remember hearing Neil talking about how “Piggy Bank Love” was inspired by “I Want To Tell You” but I can’t find the original audio

Hard to Get vs. Body and Soul decision

I'm gonna put my comment up here as a blog post so that it can be seen more easily.

I decided to give Body and Soul the boot, as part of its story seems to be that it's just a rerelease from Nearly Really which is quite boring, and the other half is just copy-pasted from Hard to Get. Also, Hard to Get has 5 times more views than Body and Soul on YouTube, and while the Body and Soul cover mock up is high quality, it's just the Now and Then cover with Now and Then replaced with Body and Soul, and we have been trying to avoid portraying the Rutles as just The Beatles with Beatles replaced with Rutles if that makes sense.

So what's the final Rutles song, "Hard to Get" or "Body and Soul"? They seem identical in purpose but one doesn't sound like "Now and Then" and one isn't actually a Rutles song (being a Nasty solo song).

Keep Parody Song Titles or Reuse Neil/Bonzo Doo Daa/The Flames Songs

Edit: The decision was to go with this

I've noticed on YouTube that people have made playlists for the Rutles parody albums. Here's a full list of the good ones I've found:

  • Please Rut Me
  • Meet The Rutles
  • A Hard Day's Rut
  • Rutles For Sale
  • Ouch!
  • Rutle Sole
  • Semi-Automatic
  • SRODCB
  • Tragical History Tour
  • Yellow Submarine Sandwich Soundtrack
  • The Triangular Album
  • Shabby Road
  • Let It Rot
  • The Singles (the playlist calls itself Vast Bastards though we could just use this for pages about Rutle singles)

From what I know, all of these playlists only use songs from Neil Innes (Ron Nasty), the Bonzo Doo Daa Band (a band Neil was in), the Flames (a band Ricky Fataar (Stig O'Hara) was in), Ollie Halsall (player and singer for Dirk McQuickly on the real Rutle tunes), or John Ha…
