Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr admitted that they initially found Yoko Ono’s regular presence at the Beatles’ recording sessions during 1968 unusual and sometimes irritating. The band normally did not welcome regular observers into the studio, and this included girlfriends and wives. Though Ono did not break up the Beatles, popular culture content since the Beatles’ demise is laced with references to Yoko’s supposed role in the band’s dissolution. The “intrusive girlfriend” character that Yoko is said to represent in the Beatles story has appeared, for example, in the 1984 fictional “rockumentary” This Is Spinal Tap, and in the US–New Zealand HBO TV series Flight of the Conchords (2007–09). The latter featured an episode in its first season entitled “Yoko,” whereby one member of the show’s musical duo is given grief for spending time with his new girlfriend who is referred to as Yoko. The notion that Ono had somehow single-handedly destroyed the world’s favorite rock band was also intensely lampooned in the British Beatles parody The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash (1978). John Lennon’s fictional counterpart, Ron Nasty, is shown with his new girlfriend Chastity, who is described as both “a simple German girl whose father invented World War Two” and an artist who champions “destruco art” — sculptures which are created by dropping them from tall buildings. In the one scene in which she appears, Chastity is dressed in a Nazi uniform. According to co-writer, British comedian and actor Eric Idle, a member of the Monty Python comedy troupe, both John and Yoko found making the “Yoko” character Hitler’s daughter hilariously funny. So excessive was the vilification of Ono during and after the Beatles’ demise that she and Lennon must have needed to laugh at the sheer absurdity of it all.
