As you probably know, The Beatles music was used by Cirque Du Soliel for a show in Las Vegas called “Love”. It’s a great show and I highly recommend seeing it. The Beatles music was remixed and mashed-up, overseen by Beatles producer George Martin, so that the music is both familiar and fresh.

The Rutles (learn more), on the other hand, were NOT asked by Cirque Du Soliel to do anything. They are always in the shadow of the other fab four, it would seem. So there is no Rutles Vegas show. But what if? Luckily, some enterprising person DID remix and mashup their music and it’s now the soundtrack to their non-existent production, “Lunch”. Ah, if only it were meant to be. But we DO have these (click “continue”)…

The Beatles “Love”:

 

The Rutles “Lunch”: (note – there is nothing much to watch, except song titles, but mainly you should just listen. The Rutles are perhaps the best music parody ever done and capture the feel of the Beatles while playfully and lovingly making fun of them)

 

Thanks to our friends at Clicks and Pops for letting us know about this one.
