[edit] Song for MP Light Entertainment War

Wasn't the name of the song When does a dream begin, not where? Fkh82 23:21, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How odd

Considering what a cult figure Innes is, you'd think this entry would be better written. --62.255.236.92 01:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hunting Tigers!

No! No! No! Innes did not write this song. It is a genuine old music hall number credited to (Evans/Damerell/Hargreaves). The Bonzos used to trawl the markets for old 75s and then do camped up versions - this is how they started off before writing their own songs. Other favourites include Jolity Farm, My Brother Makes the Noises for the Movies and Ali Baba's Camel.

I've removed the section referring to the song as an Innes original - what a pity you chose this one to hang so much of your analysis on!

I've also changed "early 1970s" to "1960s" which is more accurate here. But this is a ramshackle page! Commas everywhere! 86.20.55.243 08:09, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Graeme

[edit] Secret Policeman's Ball

You meant 78s. More importantly, Neil was on at least one of the Secret Policeman's Ball albums. (I only have the 1979 one.) Let's see how long it takes me to think up the best way to mention that in the article. His The World isn't on here either. Don't worry, kids; I'll be back. IanHistor 10:27, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interview

Hello,

I did a very recent interview with Neil Innes- can I add it to external links? No advertising, I can just upload it somewhere. He doesn't interview often. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Razamatazz (talk • contribs) 02:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC).Razamatazz

[edit] "I've suffered for my music. Now it's your turn."

I've also heard this quote in a video by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, but I don't know who took it from whom. If anyone can help... --Gorpik 15:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Douglas Adams quote

Just heard Neil Innes on the radio mentioning a certain well known band. Someone asked if they were 'as good as the Beatles'. Douglas Adams replied, 'as good as the Beatles! - they're not even as good as the Rutles!' Ian Dunster (talk) 13:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
