From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zombeatles are a zombie parody version of the pop group The Beatles. Stemming
from Madison, Wisconsin band The Gomers, the group's
2006 video Hard Day's Night Of The Living Dead gained
international status when horror film director and musician Rob Zombie chose it as
one of his top YouTube Halloween video picks of
2007[1],
resulting in over a million views worldwide. [2]
In 2009 they released an album called Meat the
Zombeatles and a mockumentary called The Zombeatles:
All You Need Is Brains as well as touring New Jersey[3] and
appearing with John Wesley Harding and Eugene Mirman in
their Cabinet Of Wonders Variety Show in April.[4]
Revealed in the Behind the Music-like [5] mockumentary[6] are
historical references to a past zombie apocalypse; however, in the
Zombeatles version a complete and parallel zombie universe is
proposed via The Fab Gore, the Dead Sullivan
Show, The Rolling Kidney Stones, The ZomMonkees, the Dead Clark Five, The ZomZombies, Boo Marley, Elvis Grisly, Dead Zeppelin, the Beach
Boils, and appearances by Ewwyoko Ohno, the ZomRutles[7], Fester Fangs, Bob Killin (etc.[8]
