Archaeology is the second album by the British parody band The Rutles, released in 1996. Like their previous, self-titled album, this one consists of pastiches of The Beatles' music, and is specifically intended as a parody of the band's The Beatles Anthology releases. Correspondingly, many of the songs have an "unfinished" feel to them. As the "fourth Rutle" Ollie Halsall had died in 1992, he only appears on two tracks that date to 1978 rehearsals. The remaining songs are mostly sung by Neil Innes, with two being sung by Ricky Fataar and two by John Halsey. This means that some Beatles songs that were sung by Paul McCartney are given parodies sung by the Rutles' John Lennon counterpart (Innes in real life; Ron Nasty in the fictional band). Eric Idle was invited to participate, but declined. Tracks parodied by each song: Major Happy's Up-And-Coming Once Upon a Good Time Band: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Rendezvous: With a Little Help from My Friends, Good Day Sunshine Questionnaire: The Fool on the Hill, I Am the Walrus, Imagine We've Arrived! (And to Prove It We're Here): Back in the U.S.S.R., Flying, Revolution 9 Lonely-Phobia: Things We Said Today, I'll Be Back Unfinished Words: Yesterday, Nowhere Man, Free as a Bird, Real Love Hey Mister!: I Me Mine, Yer Blues, Helter Skelter, The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill Easy Listening: Octopus's Garden, Don't Pass Me By, Act Naturally, Why Don't We Do It in the Road Now She's Left You: I Don't Want to Spoil the Par
