Shangri-La - Neil Innes (HD)

[@HoLd_My_Beer_Thanks]

BEST uncredited member of the Beatles - RIP Neil Innes ❤️

[@Optimalillusion]

Even pre-Rutles, this was a good song.

[@wonderrob3225]

this is by far the better version .

[@GreasyFilms-qc1xo]

Brilliant musical court jester of the 70s. We miss you Neil Innes.

[@HoLd_My_Beer_Thanks]

Neil Innes had a wonderful singing voice - He had talent by the bucket-loads!! - RIP Neil 🪦😢

There's a fresh aroma of ELO in this very clever piece.

[@davidcottis]

I love how the bumps on the slide are in time with the song

Did you ever get the feeling That the truth is less revealing Than a downright lie?...... YES i do almost every day and i wish so much that it wasn't so

[@williamcrowe2576]

Seems unlikely, but I think that's one of the many Superman costumes worn in the "Bicycle Repairman" sketch.

[@wonderrob3225]

What do the lovely girls and children say with their heads out the window of the monorail? It sounds like "polly dooh dahh. Polly wolly boop boop "

[@highwindsclarke2685]

0:05 Did Neil play the Superman character? It's interesting how this starts depressing then turns into paradise.

[@MattHawes]

Yep, that's Neil as Superman.

Did you ever get the feeling That the truth is less revealing Than a downright lie? And did you think your head was hip To certain things it's not equipped To qualify? All day long the sky is blue And everyone says "How'dya do?" In Shangri-la Everyday's a perfect day And you can go your own sweet way in Shangri-la In Shangri-la, in Shangri-la You can be whoever you are In Shangri-la Investment with a good return Provides the means through which we earn Our daily bread Insisting on an equal cut Some people even bust a gut To stay ahead All day long the sky is blue And no one has a lot to do In Shangri-la In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la!) In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la!) You can be whoever you are In Shangri-la

Butlins meets the Rutles

[@flimbar]

Weird as, I remember this creeping me out as a kid. Is that Butlins Minehead?

[@wonderrob3225]

It's Butlins for sure but im not sure which one

[@GoodOlGranite]

Most of the footage is of the camp in Minehead though the aerial shot at the very end is of the camp in Filey.

[@robbocat7643]

Definitely needed the Rutles treatment

[@akadventuring]

It got it. In 1996, they reunited and it got rerecorded.

[@robbocat7643]

@@akadventuring yeah ik lol, that's what I was referring to. Love it!

[@beatlefreakers]

[@AndrewsSister75]

I would love to cover this song at a LGBT pride festival with my band

Only a fool would say that.

Naturally. In Shangri-La obesity is just too silly to happen!
