Notes: George appeared as a pirate character on Eric Idle`s Christmas episode of his TV series "Rutland Weekend Television".
George appears in a few small sketches before taking the stage, as himself, to supposedly perform "My Sweet Lord" but following
the opening guitar chords George breaks into an original Harrison/Idle composition called "The Pirate Song" much to the
disgust of the host and his backing band that includes fellow Rutle Neil Innes.
