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.
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!
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😁🍻

If I was forced to watch Mel Gibson's movie about Jesus, I think I'd start whistling Bright Side of Life at the climax. Thought: wouldn't it have been fantastic to song-bomb a theater full of rapt Christians with a male chorus appearing at the rear just as the cross goes up? I can dream, anyway...
I started singing this when i watched passion of the christ with my girlfriend and she started laughing her ass off because we were making fun of the movie

Tony was a funny guy and so it was only fitting that he should go out with songs that make you laugh.

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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our four...no... amongst our weapons.... amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.
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.
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"
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.

Always look on the bright side of life has got me through some tuff times.
why does she have to talk so much?
Because they are copyrighted...
Cause she doesn’t want people to enjoy shit

Thats how all of the watchmojo videos are. They give facts about what they are talking about even though you probably already know
I think the least amount of words you need to express a thought the better
"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is my ringtone. Makes me smile when it rings.
How did you miss out ‘How sweet to be an idiot’’? It was one of the great Python songs.and a brilliant tune.
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

The parrot scetch leads to the Lumberjack song. You know, the famous Norwegian Blue
I've always had a soft spot for Dennis Moore
Such a masterful collection yet it is spoiled by having a narrator interrupt and talk through every song.
How could they not have put the monks chant from the holy grail on here. "Pies lesu domine dona eis requiem." (Headbang)
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.
"it's fucking close to water was the best"
That was the most fun I've had watching a WatchMojo video in a while. Good one.
Neil Innes should have received some credit.
Well you know that these people barely do the bare minimum of research when they don't even seem to know that Wooloomooloo is real.
Let's be realistic, there's no other Python song that could have been no.1. Congrats watchmojo, you finally got a whole list perfect
My 2 favorite songs are: "The Knight's of the Round Table" and "Look on the Bright Side of Life".
Fun tidbit: Sit On My Face was also performed at George Harrison’s tribute concert. Tom Hanks then joined them for The Lumberjack Song.
Who's here after Terry Jones' death? 😞
All Python lovers. We're all around the galaxy.
The Galaxy Song always cheers me up
"The Liberty Bell *March*", actually, by John Philip Sousa.
