Battle of the Band Losers

I usually feature a song from among the winners each week from our Battle of the Bands, but I thought it would be more fun to watch a little bit of the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band (who were crushed by Led Zeppelin in the competition). These guys were good musicians, but seemed more interested in having a laugh, and even had connections with the guys in Monty Python. In fact, Neil Innes, the lead singer on this cut, would later form the Rutles with Eric Idle. The Rutles were the best ever Beatles parody band, but that's not the only Fab Four connection-- "Urban Spaceman" was produced by none other than Paul McCartney. Enjoy:
