Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Though this seminal comedy team is better known for authority-tweaking absurdist wordplay and surrealist visual hijinks, music has always been an essential element in the troupe's twisted universe. Monty Python Sings collects 25 musical Python nuggets from the team's album catalogue, including such beloved ditties as "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", "Lumberjack Song", "I'm So Worried", "Spam Song", "Bruces' Philosophers' Song", "I Like Chinese", and "Knights of the Round Table". With so much Python music gathered in one place, it's impressive to note just how many of the sextet's musical excursions have become cult classics. --Scott Schinder

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastically brilliant! The best CD I own! 26 Mar 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Ammuse yourself for hours. Wind up everyone who knows you by singing Eric the half a bee repetitvely for days. This CD is so funny, even better than I thought it would be. I recomend having it in the car so other road users think you have a mental disorder due to uncontrolable laughter on the M25! Have no doubt you will not be dissapointed when you get this album home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic british eccentricity 30 Jan 2004
By "i_adore_snail"
Format:Audio CD
This CD is an absolute classic! Indeed any motny python material is! although not something you would find yourself listening to whilst journeying or such, it is a CD that is extrememly entertaining to listen to and I have no doubt that if you buy it you will at least once a month think to yourself:
"Yeah, I feel like listening to Monty Python"! The only reasin I didn't give it 5 stars is that it doesn't have the Vagina Song on it. Other than that two thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Always Look on the Bright Side of Compilations 12 Feb 2008
By Ian Wood, Author of 'Here's 2 Absent Fathers'
Format:Audio CD
`Monty Python Sings' is a fantastic album collecting all the songs that populated the world of Python together in one place. It doesn't give a totally balanced view of the group with Eric Idle being the most musically versatile of the group, leading him into ventures such as The Rutles with Neil Innes of Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band fame. Again the balance is towards the eighties output of the Python's with the majority of songs from the Contractual Obligation album which included a great wealth of song writing and also the Meaning of Life soundtrack which as a movie conceived as a series of sketches relied on a number of set piece song and dance numbers.

Obvious songs from the original Flying Circus are of course present, `The Lumberjack Song' and `Money Song' holding up very well but `Oliver Cromwell' would perhaps have benefitted from being shoe horned as a song.

The Highlight of the album is, somewhat predictably, `Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' from `Life of Brian' and with support from `The Galaxy Song', `Not the Noel Coward Song' and `Eric the Half a Bee' make this a truly wonderful album.
