"And Always look on the Bright Side of life.."*Whistle*

Wow. I have the big box set of Monty Python's Flying circus, and had basically memorized all of the songs. I also have most of the movies. So finding this little jewel was a real treat! Now I can play them on my trusty piano, and have the background music. This will make for some weird family reunions :)

Inflammation of the foreskin reminds me of your smile. . . .

This is a book for every Monty Python fan out there! It is really excellent, and includes almost all the songs, excluding a few of the lesser ones like "Sgnt Duckie's Song" and "The Window Cleaner Song" but just about everything else is in there. Admittedly, it's a bit annoying about some of the music being illigeble, such as "Eric the Half A Bee" appearing in a sphere shape, and "Bing Tiddle Tiddle Bong" being flipped...

Appalling--What's for afters?

One strawberry tart without much rat in it later...This book contains many great Python songs, including "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK," "Galaxy Song" (from "Meaning of Life"), "Every Sperm is Sacred," "Dennis Moore," "Eric the Half a Bee," "Always Look on the Bright Side," "The Philosophers' Drinking Song," "Money," "Christmas in Heaven," "I've Got a Ferret Sticking Up My Nose," etc. etc. It's musically and lyrically...

The mystery has been unravelled!

When I first saw that Monty Python had put out a song book, I knew that, being a devout Pythonite, I simply had to buy this book! As I flipped through the magazine textured pages, my heart's burning desires to know the melodies and texts of every Python song were quenched! Everyone who is a Python fan should own a copy of this book. The animation, the silly notes and the songs themselves are hysterical!!!
