That is possible. The title song and its reprise that bookend the album suggest some sort of framing device. After a performance of "Sgt.

He sings "A Little Help From My Friends" to test the audience's reaction, eventually backed by the band. I leave it to someone much more creative to figure out how to work the rest of the songs in, but it could theoretically work.

I've always found it ironic that my favorite performance in this movie is the one sung by the guys we're not meant to root for. I mean, the "Future Villain Band" is supposed to be the incarnation of all that's negative in the music industry, devoid of heart and artistry, right? But Tyler and his crew are the only ones who actually seem SERIOUS about what they're doing. They're visceral and engaging, there's an energy in them that none of the main characters really seems to have. Frampton and the Bee Gees, meanwhile, lack any real depth to latch on to. They're happy-go-lucky cartoons with standard issue good guy directives, without significant personalities or even stage presence. They're just putting on a show. It's only when Aerosmith comes out that things briefly seem to get REAL. I'm inclined to fantasize that the real motives of the FVB were far more complex than just "we're mean." What if these people realized that Heartland represented a pointless status quo that needed to be disrupted? The sweet dreams and facile happiness emanating from the magical instruments were brainwashing people into doing without the necessary complexity of life lived to its fullest. The FVB were a natural reaction against a superficial utopia. I mean, think about it... can you imagine people who enjoy hard rock or heavy metal living comfortably in Heartland's world? Maybe they were just trying to start a revolution because it was time to grow up and enter the Eighties! At least, that's how they saw it. Sure, every villain wants to take over the world, but they all think they've got good reasons for it. But no, Steven Tyler dies, the one really intriguing scene in the movie comes to an end., and all we ever know about the FVB is that they were the bad guys. Peace and love win, I guess.

Behind the scenes, it's visually brilliant, the Heartland set is a triumph, it was the last set built on MGM's Lot 2, before it was all sold off for real estate. Considering one plot point of the film has Mean Mr. Mustard selling off Heartland for real estate, that could be seen as an omen.

This would have been the perfect punishment for Robert Stigwood! "Line Stig up against the wall! Okay . . . Cream pies ready?" :-D

These are just my own ideas, but it MIGHT work if... - Sgt. Pepper's instruments went missing after his death so Heartland is already a herehole to begin with, making the Lonely Heart Club Band's voyage a recovery mission with some purpose - The agent B.D. is the main villain of the piece who seduces the travelling band with fame to derail them - B.D. secretly already has the instruments, which he intends to give to the evil F.V.B band, which he also runs, to corrupt and spread hate and greed with. He distrubutes three of them among his henchmen to protect them. Maxwell Edison could be a psychopathic surgeon who makes the talent conform to the social idea of beauty. Lucy essentially remains a sexy decoy but is now a deliberate villainess. If you needed a sympathetic third, maybe Eleanor Rigby - a lovelorn young woman who, lacking love herself, felt compelled to steal it from others (Heartland restored would essentially act as her happy ending and second chance as well). Her name song could be a dream sequence in which she envisions her lonely and bleak future as an old lady. Rescuing Strawberry from the evil band could be her Heel-Face Turn, as she's seen true love between her and the protagonist and wants to save it. - Drop Mr. Mustard. Maybe give "When I'm Sixty-Four" to either B.D. or Maxwell to sing to Strawberry - as comedic relief, creepiness and an attempt to seduce her to the dark side all in one.

Hey now, George Burns's performance of "Fixing a Hole" was a cute little homage. Pretty sure Steve Martin wants to forget his performance ever happened... Also.. why hate on ABBA? Surely you've seen "Chess" by now... (music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the pop group ABBA)

“Nobody goes out in the world with the intention to do evil!” Sad, the things said honestly that can get a dismissive chuckle nowadays…

I know this movie. I was a teenager when it came out (roughly) and I vividly recall George Burns’ last grasp at fame before he was dead. He did a big tv special celebrating his (I believe) 100th birthday, when he was actually about to turn 90; he had a song on the country western radio stations; he was God not once, but twice (that were good movies); and besides, that’s not strictly a soft shoe he’s doing there (tho if it were, I’d excuse it on the grounds of Vaudeville and how he was a big star there-him and Gracie).

She wrote "Kiss Me In he Rain" for Barbra Streisand. Maybe I shouldn't refer to her in past tense . . . I figure she's still alive. She was born Sandra Feldman; Farina is her married name. Awkward, having a name that sounds like bran-heavy hot cereal.

Man, I never would have known that wasn't Frank Zappa if you didn't tell me that was Alice Cooper.

The Sgt. Pepper movie was an obvious ripoff of 'Yellow Submarine.' Aerosmith simply replaced the Blue Meanies and Mean Mr. Mustard replaced Max. Father Sun was an Apple Bonker.

A little afraid to ask what kind of scene would come from "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"

Maxwell Edison uses his silver hammer to knock sixty years off the lives of his patients, which contradicts the song.

I had totally forgotten about "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", which is written slightly wrong in this episode's title, until now! 😅

Another thing about the movie, what was the villain's endgame with the "magic" instruments? The movie makes it look like: Step 1: Steal the magic instruments Step 2: ???????? Step 3: Profit

Best line in the movie: "Frankly, he was shocked."

I have an Unpopular opinion: I love this film. It's not perfect, let alone good, but I can't help it. I have a very soft spot for it

On another note, wouldn’t it have made more sense for Lucy to be named “Sadie” or even “ Day tripper” since sexy Sadie and day tripper were two songs about women “ who made fools of everyone and only played one night stands”?

Since I’m on a video reviewing a concept album, would untouchables ever do a musical hell on the film adaption of pink Floyd “the wall”?

I was in high school when this "film" came out, and even then we thought it was a cringy disaster. So here's the strange part for the younger folks... When Sgt Pepper came out (1978), the Beatles had only broken up 8 yrs earlier. To us, those 8 yrs felt like 30. That's how badly the Beatles were missed and that's how important they are to the history of music. On a positive note... the filmed killed Frampton's career (instantly) and put a serious dent in the reputation of the BeeGees. Win!

Also wrecked Sandy Farina's. Only other thing I could see her in was The Toxic Avenger, which would destroy anybody's career.

I think Mr. Burns did a 'Soft Shoe' because he was like 1000 years old when they made this movie, and due to that wasn't up to doing 'The Hustle'!

Strawberry pushing Steven Tyler to his death can also describe Aerosmith’s career between Rocks and Permanent Vacation

George Burns' soft shoe looks more like a needed diaper change.

I actually enjoyed across the universe, but opinions are opinions

Although I didn’t see the movie when it came out (I was 13 at the time), I remember Aerosmith’s cover of “Come Together” being played incessantly on the radio (it reached number 23 on the charts). Earth, Wind, & Fire’s cover of “Got To Get You Into My Life” was even MORE popular, charting at number 9 (it’s one of my faves).

Where can I find that creepy robot thing from the end of the video? I'm really curious.

It's from the movie MirrorMask.

I wonder what the actual Beatles thought of this movie.

Oh god the mirror mask reference.... you just dug up childhood trauma for me LOL

How many Beatles jukebox musicals are there? I know of 3- this one, Yellow Submarine, and Across the Universe

I only went to see it because of Aerosmith. Definitely a great cover, but I barely paid attention to the rest. I was looking forward to other performances but was disappointed. I picked up the soundtrack for like a buck because Robin Gibb does a great "Oh! Darling" :)

I remember watching this travesty on the big screen when it premiered. Strangely, the only two pieces I recalled afterwards were Paul Nicholas' performance (I've loved his work for years) and Robin Gibbs' "Oh, Darling" (for those of us who suffered through years of Barry and Disco BeeGees, it was great to hear the voice that gave us their early hits).

I believe the singing voices for the "FemBots" were the Bee Gees themselves. According to IMDB Trivia, the Bee Gees tried to get kicked off the movie after two weeks. (And I can understand why.)

Yes, they were the computerized voices of the Bee Gees. They had the robot voices sing lyrics that didn't fit with the "plot," because then they would have had to explain where Mr. Mustard's sister Pam was.

Oh, and if I might add...why not do Give My Regards to Broad Street in the near future? That one's an odd bird, but it does have its saving graces...the soundtrack, for the most part. And the "Eleanor's Dream" segment is beautifully scored and filmed. Matter of fact, there are two moments in there that give me chills. One's a bit of foreshadowing...Paul seeing Linda's ghost on horseback in the clouds. (Recall Paul's last words to Linda...) And then there's the bit where Paul watches a friend get murdered in the shadow of an imposing old building. Of course, there's no way of knowing whether Paul did this scene with that in mind, but still...

That part of mirror mask scared the shit out of me as a kid

So this was the video that brought me to this channel, and I have to say I'm glad it happened. Not only was this very entertaining, but it managed to put to words why this movie was such a mess (especially the ending, which I've told numerous friends of mine about and yet none of them seem to believe me about exactly how bizarre it is).

Thank you for pointing out how badly the film botched "She's Leaving Home"! One of my favorite Beatles songs became my most hated cover version of any Beatles song ever in this film. The song is one of the most human, sentimental (in a good way), and lovely songs ever, gutted by such an ironically inhuman, cold way of execution. Yuck!! I do enjoy a few things about the film, but even for a diehard Beatles fan it is hard to sit through. I do like that Billy Preston was given a prominent role, considering he nearly became a fifth Beatles at the very end of the band's existence, but I agree it was a cheat how his character was used. I have been enjoying your videos and recently subscribed. Excellent work! Keep it up! Thanks! Yayy!!!
