2. The guy playing Paul is Eric Idle.
3. Interesting...I'm gonna have to say "Hey Jude"

Merseyside truck rental or something like that.
Stig? John Halsey? Dang! Never heard of them, but I was bored enough to Google it!
Dang! Sounds like a knockoff of several. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds/Strawberry Fields Forever/ Hey Jude?
I'm in my late 40's, so I'm no kid. I'm a Monty Python fan and a Beatles fan. I've even lived in England twice! How is is I've never heard of these blokes???

Ah, gosh...the Rutles! One of Eric Idle's better ideas!
2. The actor's who played "Stig" (a takeoff on Robert Stigwood)is Ricky Fataar...but I got a kick out of Robin Williams' cameo in the 2002 "Can't Buy Me Cash".
3. It sounds most like a parody of "All You Need Is Love". Eric Idle is the only one who knows for sure

1....Merseyside's Truck Rental
2.....Eric Idle
3.....Well, I don't see it or hear it, but according to several websites, it's a parody of "Magical Mystery Tour". I'm certain, back in the day, after I'd smoked a few, and downed some Boone's Farm...it was exactly that....lol

properly, the Fab 4 were the Beatles, for sure. And "pre-fab" refers to synthetic housing. i imagine it really is pertaining to the actual undeniable actuality that they were solid by using a producer to slot the idea he had for the seem and personality of the gang, really than coming together organically because of their mutual flavor in and ability for song.
