Comment:
For many young Americans in the 1970s, Monty Python's Flying Circus was as much about mystery as it was about humor. This was a first glimpse of British pop culture, and it was full of odd references to blancmange, Clodagh Rodgers, egg and chips, lupins, Reginald Maudling, pantomime horses, and wainscoting. Many of the musical references were mysterious as well, and for hard-core fans the songs became strongly associated with the show.The music from Monty Python can be divided into three categories. The first is the original music, such as The Lumberjack Song, which is well-represented in commercial releases. The second is the library music, which would make a fine collection if you could ever track it down. The third category is the subject of this collection: the contemporary pop hits and classical themes that were used in the television series, which originally aired from 1969 to 1974. If there had been a musical soundtrack album of the TV series, it might have sounded something like this.

Frickin' tremendous, good sir! What can I do for a copy of such a fine melange?
Hmmm...one of the flay rods gone out askew on th'treadle. Excellent theme (something completely different). I started watching the W-NET re-runs at age 13 & cracked up at the Mouse Sketch ("I gradually came to realize that I was only happy when hanging out with other mice"). Nice work!
Blessed are the cheesemakers, and I mean by that to include all makers of dairy products. [That thought for the new year from The Life of Brian.]
Great mix!
Great mix!
Great! (in the voice of James McRettin, director of "Scott of the Antarctic/Sahara")
Brilliant idea. I'm sticking it in the trainspotter's exhibit. I'll have the lot.
God, yer mixes rock.
But what flavour is it? Superb!
Great theme and execution!
Great, Lenny!!!!!!!!
Yay! What fun.
i wish i was a lumberjack. well done.
Enjoyed bits of their comedy (some of it's brilliant...some of tad overly odd (for my tastes, anyqay)...and, some of their comedy comes off as longwinded and unfunny (just my opinion)...Also, I feel like I don't get all of it...like they must be "in-jokes" OR I'm just ignorant of British humor.
Either way.
...this mix, however looks like tons of fun.

This is fantastic! Great concept, well executed!
You're spot on as usual here Saaf! It was a revelation to my youthful soul, (and mind), to find out about Monty Python. It was *the* topic of conversation at school the next day around the schoolyard. Dandismore (sp?) & his damned lupins...
DINSDALE?
...& it's Dennis Moore, Valis- ("...soon every Lupin in the land will be in his mighty hand.")

Looks like you've given us the full Monty, Lenny. I'd off a limb to hear this, old friend.
If I may parrot some of the previous responses: I'm stunned by this prolonged squawk!!!
-------
Mr. Praline: STUNNED?!?
Owner: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
Mr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour
ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

WOW! What a great tribute. I just received a copy of the Pythons autobio as a gift - what a trip down memory lane. Saw Eric Idle live a couple years back - totally hilarious. I'm dying to hear this.
I am one who delights in all manifestations of the terpsichorean muse.
Cool mix; play on!

It would be hard to overstate how important Monty Python was to me during my high school years in the 70s. This looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
good stuff - obviously being English I grew up with Monty Python but I always remember having a 'job' on my hands to get my parents to let me watch it. Funny, I don't particularly remember the music being a huge part of the series (lumberjack song etc etc excepted) but I do remember references to Python appearing regularly in all the music press (but maybe with hind sight that was after the event). Anyway, excellent mix - we need more like this . . .
Brilliant - I'm a huge Python fan and yet it never occurred to me that they'd be a great subject for a mix. I kind of wish I had been around at the time it was first broadcast, so that I could appreciate the impact it had, but still, better late than never. I just watched the Clodagh Rogers episode with my brother so I'm glad that's on there! Yummy Yummy Yummy's a well-observed inclusion too. Great stuff.
