Line 19:
** "Ouch!" and "Get Up and Go", in particular, are pretty blatant swipes of their Beatle counterparts, "Help!" and "Get Back".
** Which has led to a severe case of [[Misattributed Song]], because due to these credits, a whole lot of people think Rutles songs are "lost" Beatle bootlegs.
*** Absolutely true — the generally shoddy mid-1970s bootleg ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20180624161148/http://www.bootlegzone.com/album.php?name=fanbeat1§ion=1 Indian Rope Trick]]'' even listed "Cheese and Onions" as a lost Lennon demo. To be fair, Innes' take on Lennon's vocal style is uncanny.
* Sometimes this happens when a TV show is released on DVD and the production company didn't manage to secure the license to the original music<ref>In the U.S., one has to contract separately for the right to use a song for ''broadcast'' purposes and the right to include the song for ''distribution'' purposes. Even ten years ago, who would have thought consumers would [[It Will Never Catch On|spend good money on box sets of old TV shows]]?</ref>. For instance, the DVD release of ''[[Married... with Children]]'' uses an instrumental opening song that's very reminiscent of, but not identical to, Frank Sinatra's "Love and Marriage"... unlike the original broadcasts, which actually ''did'' use Sinatra's song.
** Also, the show used [[Queen]]'s "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" rather frequently. The DVD used Suspiciously Similar Songs.
