Lost Gem: "Joe Public" - The Rutles (1996)
"...Sometimes they call me the great unwashed."
~ The Rutles ~
The Rutles are actually The Beatles from the Bizarro World. They simply share their love and respect for The Beatles with pinpoint, needle-nose apple-scruff precision.
Each song is carefully crafted with various sounds, instruments, vocal mannerisms and tricks that have become synonymous with the Fab...BUT absolutely unique in that wickedly tongue-n-cheek Monty Python style. Something completely different...but awesomely familiar.
Have you heard this gem?
My name is Joe Public - I'm sure you all know me
Sometimes they call me 'the man in the street'
but I don't mind.
I've got my place in society
I've got my feet on the ground
I've got my pride and my prejudices
No one can push me around
My name is Joe Public - I'm sure you all know me
Sometimes they call me 'the proletariat'
but I don't mind.
They know me for my common sense
They know they can't please all of me
They know I can't be fooled - all of the time
I am what I am and I'm happy to be
Joe Public, that's me
Joe Public, that's me
I put my faith in the powers that be
Joe Public - that's me
My name is Joe Public - I'm sure you all know me
Sometimes they call me 'the great unwashed'
but I don't mind.
Sticks and stones may break my bones
but names can never hurt me
I've got my pride and my prejudices
I am what I am and I'm happy to be
Joe Public, that's me.
Joe Public, that's me.
Joe Public, that's me.
Joe Public, that's me
I put my faith in the powers that be.
Joe Public - that's me.
Good stuff!
