Eric Idle never gets enough credit for Python’s success. He wrote most of these songs. He hired the other guys to be on HIS kids tv show, creating Python. He came up with the idea for Life of Brian. Talked George Harrison into financing it. He talked the other Python into doing the stage shows and reunions and he talked PBS into playing their show on American tv. He wrote and Produced Spamalot , which kept them alive in the theater. He is the most significant of all of them.
That's why there should never put tariffs on Mexico. 3 things Mexico produces and America desperately is always in need off: 3: A year long, continuous and cheap source of avocadoes. 2: Tequila 1: BEER You can live on bread alone, but if you're gonna eat nothing but moldy old bread 3 times a day what would you drink American made beer..... sorry I mean water or a Corona, Dos Equis, Tecate.... or my favorite, Yucatecan Leon Negra😁🍻

The Bright Side of Life was the number one song at funerals for several years AND was the closing anthem at the 2012 Olympics in London. Masterpieces. And no one expects THE SPANISH INQUISITION.
During the Falklands war, the British and Argentinians each sunk each other’s ships. The Argentinian sailors sang patriotic hymns while waiting for rescue. The British sang this song.
Brave Sir Robin ran away, bravely ran away, away. When danger reared its ugly head he bravely turned his tail and fled, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.
Yes brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the Braaave Sir Robin!

Once I clicked on this, I had to listen to the end because it is jaw-droppingly amazing how the narration wrings every last drop of humor out of these songs.

Years ago, the Boston Gay Men's Chorus sang "Every Sperm Is Sacred" during one of their big concerts. They perpetuated it with flag waving, each adorned with smiling sperms, and everyone marching in unison. All in all, it brought down the house. Thank you, Monty Python.
Sang "The Galaxy Song" to my son when doing diaper changes when he was tiny, because he has a solar system light on his ceilings and he'd watch it. I love how the information contained in the song is actually accurate (or was accurate when they made it, and has been slightly adjusted since).
@ Frugal, Yeah, now all of it has been exposed as lies, like most of what they brainwashed the masses to think. Now they can get everyone to shut down the entire world over invisible plandemics and get paid for faking death certificates.
@@Dan-pf1jf , Coming from you that means nothing. Why don't you just say what you really want to say instead of hiding like some little girl behind someone else.
I'd never heard of them until the Holy Grail movie came out in '75, but they'd just started showing Flying Circus on KERA in Dallas.-the first time they were on tv in America. We never missed the show after that. They were also showing some other British comedies at that time-The Goodies and Ripping Yarns are the only ones I recall the names of. Loved those shows.
A long time friend and I went over to see the One Down, Five To Go shows at the 02 in London, back in 2014. The two of us had also seen all the Pythons live in 1980 at the Hollywood Bowl, the shows which were released in film format sometime after. Sadly, it's two down and four to go now. RIP Graham and Terry.
I'm so glad my mum introduced me into python. I'm 14 now and have been watching it since I was 9 (don't critisice she didn't let me watch the extra bad things) I was lucky enough to go to the live show and it's one of the best things ever.
I had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Terry Jones in person in Funchal, Madeira. He was there for the local film festival and everyone loved him.

Every Sperm is Sacred was wholly Palin and Jones - they used up most of the budget for The Meaning of Life in their big musical number. I think they also wrote the Lumberjack Song. But yes, Eric Idle was generally the most musically gifted of the official members and performed the majority of the songs, and Neil Innes contributed a lot behind the scenes (and in the case of Sir Robin's minstrel, on screen) for the TV series, movies, albums and live shows.
Great list. Some other great Python songs include I'm So Worried, Accountant Shanty, Oliver Cromwell, I've Got Two Legs and my personal favourite The Medical Love Song.
One thing I loved is how they managed to stick in as much actual information as they could in some of their stuff. Besides the universe song, the Philosophers song is a list of the most prominent ones of all time. Even the Cheese shop sketch (not in this list) mentions most of the cheeses around the world.
"This song aims to mock the idea that every drop of sperm should produce a child". Ehm ... no. It mocks the idea that the Roman Catholic church bans the use if contraception.
I can't argue with number one, Though I'm a little disappointed that "I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio" didn't even score an honorable mention.
Sit on my Face and The Lumberjack Song was performed at The Concert for George in 2002, a year after George Harrison passed away, and who funded Life of Brian, which made Always Look on the Bright Side of Life the number one song.

Neil Innes has much to answer for. Luckily for him, this Lehreresque lyric has much to commend it, including the aside "Hey you, you're such a pedant You've got as much brain as a dead ant As much imagination as a caravan site But I still love you"
My brother, Chris, had a land clearing business. Used to cut down the trees for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Myself and my brother Kevin used to work with him on occasion. One time, we are on this job site and one of us, don't remenber who, starts singing the lumberjack song and the rest of us just joined in. When we got done, we heard a car horn and turned around to see who it was. Well, it was my brother Kevin's wife, who used to bring us stuff for breaks and lunch. She was looking at us like we were the craziest bastards on the planet. She never let us live that down.
The one truly criminal omission from this list is "I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio." I also would have included the title song from Meaning of Life. But overall an excellent and well thought out list!

WatchMojo, did you ever check your faces, or even the credits at the end of the films? Neil Innes (the 7th Python) wrote a large amount of the music in the films.
Eric Idle never gets enough credit for Python’s success. He wrote most of these songs. He hired the other guys to be on HIS kids tv show, creating Python. He came up with the idea for Life of Brian.

I've been to plenty of funerals where everyone sobs their hearts out, but I've only been to one where we laughed a lot.

Pretty sure Idle sang it at Chapman's
I don't think that's a good idea.
I just want theres to be in an intercom going "I'm not dead yet" "Yes you are" "No I'm not, I'm ok"
would that funeral be held on a beach after you jumped from a cliff on account of being chased by topless women

If Monty Python had their own country, "Sit On My Face" would be their national anthem. 'Struth.
And the motto would be, "This 'ere's the wattle, the emblem of our land; you can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand".

Fun tidbit: Sit On My Face was also performed at George Harrison’s tribute concert. Tom Hanks then joined them for The Lumberjack Song.
"This song aims to mock the idea that every drop of sperm should produce a child". Ehm ... no. It mocks the idea that the Roman Catholic church bans the use if contraception.
What does the contraception do though.
Lighten up
does both
What if I told you a song is capable of mocking multiple ideas
And, the difference between the two points, IS.....?
"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is my ringtone. Makes me smile when it rings.
Neil Innes didn't even get a mention.
Elvis loved his Brave Sir Robin song, also Neil was in quite a few of these clips.
The highlight of the "Sit on My Face" in Hollywood Bowl is the end of the song, when they walk away exposing their bare arses.
"Sit on My Face" and the Philosopher's Song should both be higher, I mean, Spam? It's a catchy chant, but no where near as clever as those two.
The parrot scetch leads to the Lumberjack song. You know, the famous Norwegian Blue
I can't argue with number one, Though I'm a little disappointed that "I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio" didn't even score an honorable mention.
At least they didn't include "Traffic Lights", even as an HM. Smart move, really

Sit on my Face and The Lumberjack Song was performed at The Concert for George in 2002, a year after George Harrison passed away, and who funded Life of Brian, which made Always Look on the Bright Side of Life the number one song.

I adore MP and Blackadder and Fawlty Towers and other Brit humoristic series like Only Fools And Horses, they are just brilliant!
I have had the Galaxy song completely memorized ever since being a child. XD Only song I can sing completely from memory start to finish.
"it's fucking close to water was the best"
The one truly criminal omission from this list is "I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio." I also would have included the title song from Meaning of Life.
But overall an excellent and well thought out list!
we need a new monty Python movie based on this year and show people to laugh at things instead of getting offended by everything
Always look on Brightside of life. Is one of my favorite songs from them. The lumberjack song is also funny as heck. I like that song too.
"you come from nothing, youre going back to nothing. what have you lost?
.
Nothing!
The theme to "Life of Brian" was sung by Shirley Bassey, famous for the title track to "Goldfinger"!
You could have put in Brian's song in place of a couple of these, especially since you put in like 3 from The Meaning Of Life.
The Camelot song when the prisoner claps along lol and the penis song right before creosote. The universe song and the bright side of life song. Always has me flat on my ass laughing.
