Neil Innes has died. Ron Nasty says good riddance.

Story - Neil Innes (Bonzo Dog Band, the Rutles, Monty Python) Dead at 75

His parodies (pastiches? original songs inspired by) of Beatles songs were nothing short of brilliant:

I Must Be In Love

Doubleback Alley

One of the great ones. A very sad day. I’ll just add my own personal favourite (almost like leaving flowers): Cheese And Onions.

j

Get Up and Go. (clever parody of the Beatles’ rooftop concert)

Major Happy’s Up-And-Coming Once Upon A Good Time Band.

And my own personal favorite, Back In '64.

“How Sweet To Be An Idiot”
