Subject: RE: This parrots dead! From: fiddlerdan Date: 11 Feb 02 - 07:36 AM I'm looking for the title and/or music to the Monty Python's Flying Circus opening theme music. It sounds like it may be a Souza march. Does anyone out there have an idea of what the name of the piece is, or have music to it? Many thanks, fiddlerdan |

Subject: RE: This parrots dead! From: Peter Kasin Date: 16 Nov 01 - 10:28 PM What a huge impact Monty Python had on American audiences, notably college students. When I was in college, we sat around the dorm room repeating sketches word for word. A small group of us did the did the lumberjack song in the dining hall and eveyone chimed in on the chorus. When Saturday Night Live had a Python on as a guest, it was an event (and a little disappointing, in that SNL sketches written by SNL writers were a big step down from Python's own comedy), and their live appearances in the U.S. were so popular it took the Pythons by surprise. The first episode hit U.S. television about five years after their original release. A year or two before Python we were getting "Doctor In The House," a good but not brilliant comedy that sort of set the stage for the great comedy to come. -Ken Shabby |

Subject: RE: This parrots dead! From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 14 Jan 00 - 10:51 AM Sorry Steve I don't remember that one, but the Bengal Tiger did shake a bit of rust loose upstairs. Perhaps it'll come to me if they ever invent something to heal dead grey matter from years of abuse; not that I had much to salvage to begin with.Yours, Aye. Dave |

Subject: RE: This parrots dead! From: Wotcha Date: 14 Jan 00 - 08:20 AM Steve (Latimer) ... Bert Fegg is *Dave the Ancient Mariner ...he's just in disguise ... "Bert Fegg's Nasty Book for Boys and Girls" was re-printed in the States but did not sell as well as it did in the UK. I take my hardcopy version with me everywhere in the world. It will come in handy for Pantomine season with the story of Depravo the Rat. As a newly single guy, I find the discussion of Sex Education to be most relevant: "The first thing you need to know about sex is where to buy the chocolates ... take precautions ... buy soft centres as well as hard centres ..." Cheers, yerluvinguncle Brian "Fegg" *not actually convicted, even though the circusmtances were against him ... |

Subject: RE: This parrots dead! From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 12 Jan 00 - 02:13 AM Daily News? month old? bloody luxury, the only werds i could read was Players Navy Cut, from old empty fag packets thrown at me, when me and mum were begging for crusts outside a pub. I used to think my last name was Russian (F@*kOff) for years. jumpers eh! I could only dream of having a jumper. |

Subject: RE: This parrots dead! From: Lonesome EJ Date: 12 Jan 00 - 01:13 AM Books? You were lucky. All we had to read was a month old copy of the Daily News, and that's only because Mum had knitted the baby's jumper from it. |

Subject: RE: This parrots dead! From: Steve Latimer Date: 10 Jan 00 - 11:36 AM Does anyone remember Bert Fegg's Nasty book of Knowledge? It was written by the Pyhton crew in the seventies. I had just changed schools and didn't know a soul at the new one. I was sitting alone in the cafeteria one lunch hour reading it and was laughing so hard that I had tears streaming down my face and I couldn't breathe. I'm sure that several people thought I was certifiable. I lost it (loaned it to someone) and wonder if I would find it as funny now. |

Subject: RE: This parrots dead! From: Wotcha Date: 09 Jan 00 - 11:28 AM Well, Stuck in boarding school one didn't see much telly in the 70s but I remember (the now rather racist and Brit-centric) humo[u]r of the revived "I'm sorry I'll read that again" (Python and Goodies combo) and "Hallo Cheeky" (Barry Crier et al). Someone mentioned Peter Cooke (may he rest in peace) and Dudley Moore -- while we are one-upping each other on comedies, maybe we should forget their late 70s comedy (?) routine as Derek and Clive (probably could have killed Dudely Moore's career before "10" and "Arthur" saved him ... God knows why). For pretty accomplished comedians they brought humor to a new low in 1977 ... they should have stuck to "Frog a la peche." Then Spike Milligan's song (getting back to the music slant here) comes back to me: "I used to talk to the trees ... till they put me away ..." Cheers, Brian |

Subject: RE: This parrots dead! From: momnopp Date: 08 Jan 00 - 02:01 PM Hey, someone found me on ICQ, saw that I like both Star Trek AND Monty Python, and wrote coyly, "So are you busy tomorrow? Want to get married?". So it just shows to go ya that humor can bond almost as solidly as music. . .
