Saturday Matinee – The Beatles, The Rutles, The Troggs, The Jimmy Castor Bunch, The Ape Man

by

The history of the Beatles.  [Found here.]

“With a Girl Like You.” The announcer mispronounces the group’s name as “The Rutles.” Heh.

Here’s the Troggs’ original version of “With A Girl Like You”  from 1967. The Troggs got their name from Troglodytes, aka, cavemen, which brings us to this:

“Troglodyte” was one of the worst yet most popular funk trainwrecks ever. Recorded in 1972, the Jimmy Castor Bunch introduced us to Bertha Butt of the Butt Sisters. Boom shakalaka.

And now for our Feature Presentation: “The Ape Man.”
[Note that this is the 1971 original uncut version. Not for the squeamish.]

    cbull– No I didn’t. And that’s Ed Begly Jr. on drums before he exploded, leaving only a little green blob of plasma on the stool.

  3. cbullitt Says:

    Yeah, his explosion last week was funnier.
