Bob’s your uncle – And there you have it.Said at the conclusion of a set of instructions. Example from Wikipedia: “Left over right, right over left, and Bob’s your uncle – a reef knot”.
Many of the British bands were influenced by the blues of the Mississippi Delta (e.g., Little Red Rooster-Rolling Stones). And further influenced by the early Rock-Country fusion of early rock-n-roll. Hence their mimicking the way North Americans poke when singing. If you have visited areas like Baton Rouge or New Orleans, you often find yourself lapsing into that “s’uthern drawl” much to your embarrassment.
Yanks meaning Yankees? That would make sense because Bucky’s a Yankee sympathizer (according to https://www.gocomics.com/getfuzzy/2001/06/24) but what about Satchel? I suppose he’s Canadian and the message is said looking at him, so is Satchel a Yankees fan? Wow I’m good at this comic theory stuff.

Milli Vanilli had the advantage of 1980´s technology, the Beatles started in 1960 in local clubs… no electronic aids bar an amplifier.
