This is a bit of good natured fun by animator Harry Partridge for BBC. I especially like the Ringo-like voice over and Oasis “Spat Mode”. You can even download the spoof Oasis song in the video here called “Fags n Booze.” All the bands mentioned have been accused in the music press at one point of being “a copy” of the Fab Four. It’s a common lazy critique by uneducated music snobs — when we all know these bands have more depth than that and the Beatlesque tag should be worn proudly, not viewed derisively. Otherwise… where are the Monkees in this spoof?

Harry’s drawing of his dad’s band (XTC) just cracks me up – especially The Grumpy Dave Gregory. I wonder if Andy clipped him around the ear for that one?
Well, it made me laugh. Much obliged, PPaholic, for letting us all know about it.
