    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.

    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.

      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😁🍻

      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.
