Beatles Rarity Of The Week – Nonsense (Alice In Wonderland Soundtrack)

Posted by on August 17, 2009 at 5:18 pm.

Welcome to this week’s edition of the BROW. It’s not quite your typical Beatles rock ‘n’ roll fare this time around, but you never know what you’re going to get into with these Beatle-people, do you? In early May of 1985, CBS began the filming of their account of the classic Alice In Wonderland. Playing the part of Mock Turtle was none other than Beatles drummer extraordinaire, Ringo Starr. The show aired on December 9th, 1985 and featured a clip of Ringo singing a song called Nonsense. A soundtrack was later released but this track was not included, nor has it been on any other of Ringo’s official releases, compilation or otherwise. There is a YouTube clip, if you’re interested in catching more of Ringo in his turtle suit here. By this time, Ringo had been in a respectable number of films, including Caveman a few years earlier with his soon to be Misses, Barbara Bach.
