Hi all,

Here is a list of some artists and songs that were believed to be The
Beatles, but a little bit of research proves otherwise:


"Have You Heard The Word?" (Beacon). The artists were known as Fut, and
rumours abounded in the press that after the Beatles split, John Lennon
recorded this song with the Bee Gees. It was found to be false, and the
true identity of this band is still unknown.

Hi all,

Here is a list of some artists and songs that were believed to be The
Beatles, but a little bit of research proves otherwise:

"L.S. Bumble Bee" (Decca) - Issued in 1967 by the label that turned
down the Beatles, this is a novelty record that is a send up of
psychedelic rock with the lead vocals sounding uncannily like John
Lennon. It is in fact Dudley Moore with instrumental backing by
Peter Cook.


"We Are The Moles" (Parlophone) - Some people believe that this is the
Beatles under a psyeudonym because it was released in 1968 even
though the act stated in the press that if the record was a hit their
real identity would be revealed. Even though it wasn't, a few years
later the real act was found out to be Simon Dupree & The Big Sound
(who later became Gentle Giant).

"People Say" (London). Credited simply to "John & Paul" and issued
in 1965 at the peak of the Beatles fame, this song doesn't even sound
like them but it still crops up on many bootleg albums.

"Have You Heard The Word?" (Beacon). The artists were known as Fut,
and rumours abounded in the press that after the Beatles split, John
Lennon recorded this song with the Bee Gees. It was found to be
false, and the true identity of this band is still unknown.

Wow it's good isn't it?!

The middle bit where he goes "Who do you think you are girl?" sounds
very like JL......(Catch you with another man it's the end ...little
girl)...there's also the "Making me sad" which is the same as a lyric
from HDN LP isn't it?

There there's the Oooooohs! Very good. Who were they? Maybe I should
check out Wikipaedophile.

I've heard this song before and did assume, for a couple of
moments that it was the Beatles. I was fooled into thinking that
it was them until I listened to another song by Gentle Giant two
years later called "Pantagruel's nativity", which didn't have any
attributes to the Beatles except the complex lyrics. The band's
interest in medieval music always was a negative for me.

Lies is perfect, right down to the guitar solo that's not a guitar
solo.

As far as I know, the Knickerbockers were a one hit wonder.

They had another song "One Track Mind" that almost made the top 40. It's
pretty good and still sounds something like The Beatles, though he's not as
obviously trying to do a John Lennon impression on this one.

Overall, there not a band I'd go out of my way to hear more of, though.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks for the info. When I have a chance, I'll try to track down "One
Track Mind."
