Fair use rationale for Image:Rutles1.jpg[edit]

Image:Rutles1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Frontloader and Back breaker[edit]

What about the song Frontloader? It sounds like a pastiche of Not guilty, Old brown shoe, I me mine, Savoy truffle, While my guitar gently weeps, and Long, long, long to me (plus maybe some Happiness is a warm gun). Does it belong to the OST recorded in 1978, or the 1996 Archaeology? My copy has some crackle and many pops on it, like it came directly from vinyl. And then there's also Back breaker which sounds like a pastiche of all The Beatles's covers of classic 50s rock'n'roll, plus some of their own in the same 50s style, Back in the USSR, Why don't we do it in the road?, Everybody's got something to hide 'cept from me and my monkey, and One after 909. --79.193.49.199 (talk) 22:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Purely co-incidence. The only song, heard in demo form, recorded during the original Rutles sessions, not expanded upon and used, is a song called "Plenty Of Time". ( Neil recorded a version with GRIMMS.) The Rutles version would've been a pastiche of "Because". But, oddly enough, a song recorded after The Rutles sessions, "Montana Cafe", sounds similar to "Piggy In The Middle" ! ( There's also "Give Booze A Chance" & "Ready-Mades" by The Bonzo Dog Band ... one being an obvious parody of "Give Peace A Chance", the other said to be a parody of The Beatles "For No One".) 75.107.98.166 (talk) 19:09, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Massive WP:OR[edit]

I have removed the massive amounts of original research from this page, specifically the "guesses" at what songs are being parodied/pastiched. The section itself attributed it to guesses made by anonymous Wikipedia users, which is clearly original research, and therefore does not belong here. If someone can find a reliable source stating what songs are what, then they should be re-added. I've also removed the massive over-linking on the page, there is no need for The Beatles or The Rutles to be linked at every occurance. This page still needs a ton of work to fix the unecyclopedic language and other issues. 72.37.244.28 (talk) 16:17, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another Day[edit]

"Another Day" is sung by Neil, not Ollie (as currently credited in the article). 64.61.9.232 (talk) 18:11, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Goose Step Mama" = "Some Other Guy".[edit]

If you've watched "All You Need Is Cash" & "The Beatles:Anthology" ... there's no question. The Rutles visually parody the long seen performance of "Some Other Guy" by The Beatles in the Cavern Club. The song itself parodies the same beat and chord changes. ( For audio confirmation, look up "Some Other Guy" by Johnny Kidd and The Pirates.) 75.107.98.166 (talk) 19:15, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
