Testing - Neil Innes & Fatso (1975)

Mr. Innes turns 66 today, so in his honor, we’ve got a track from the short lived Eric Idle helmed television program Rutland Weekend Television. 

A Bonzo Dog Band alumnus and frequent Monty Python collaborator, Innes has dug out quite a career for himself. In 1978, he wrote the bulk of the tuneage for The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash, a project sprung from the RWT episodes. Each tune is a brilliant Beatles pastiche, so check those out.

Here’s to Neil, may his idiotic sweetness resonate loud and clear.
