According to an article in Goldmine (10/82), "Some Other Guy" was originally
recorded by Richie Barrett in 1961.  It was written by Barrett in conjunction
with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller (the team responsible for all the great
Coasters' songs and many of Elvis' early hits).  (Was Barrett the same Richard
Barrett who wrote all the great Chantels' stuff?  Does anyone know?)  Anyway,
an incomplete Beatles performance of the song was broadcast on "Beatles at the
Beeb" (Memorial Day, 1982).  A complete version is available on the bootleg
"Beautiful Dreamer".
 
PS: The Rutles special, "All You Need Is Cash" is now available on 
videocassette.
