Aprt from the Parrot Sketch, The Ministry for funny walks (and the aquaducts) , the Holy Grail, The Life of Brian, The election special, the cheese shop sketch, the Hungarian Phrase Book sketch ("My hovercaft is Full of Eels"), The four Yorkshiremen, The Gumby's, And now for something completely different, the upper-class twit of the year, the nights who say ni, the lumberjack song, the Philosophers song ("Emanual Cant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable") and the slightly disappointing Meaning of Life, Mrs Niggabaiter, Denis Moore (And his Lupins) and the viaducts - or the Spin-offs Fawlty Towers, Ripping Yarns, Rutland Week-end Television, The Ruttles etc etc, not a lot really.

This is all getting very silly.

'The Philosopher's Drinking Song'

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
    who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
    who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
    Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
    who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
    'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
    after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
    'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
    and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
    "I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

Galaxy Song



Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving

And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,

That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,

A sun that is the source of all our power.

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see

Are moving at a million miles a day

In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,

Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.



Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.

It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.

It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,

But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.

We go 'round every two hundred million years,

And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe.



The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding

In all of the directions it can whizz

As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,

Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,

How amazingly unlikely is your birth,

And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,

'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Brave Sir Robin ran away,
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
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 brave, Sir Robin.

We dance when e'er we're able
                  
We do routines

We dine well here in Camelot

We eat ham and jam and Spam a lot!

Our shows are formidable

We're given rhymes

That are quite un-sing-a-ble

We're opera-mad in Camelot

We sing from the dia- phragm a lot!
