Monty Python and the Holy Grail soundtrack

We’ve had this on constant repeat in the car for the last month, ever since I introduced my 10 and 12 year old sons to the joys of Monty Python. It’s going to be getting even more play for the next few weeks now that we’ve booked seats at the theatre to see it performed in Spamalot – we go tomorrow and the tension is high!

You’d expect us to tire of it after a while but actually you get to hear another funny dimension in their verbal delivery every time you play it, and something about Monty Python lends itself to repetition, it’s so clever and funny.

Our most recent discovery, which made my 10 year old son fall about laughing, was when he noticed that when Sir Robin’s minstrel is singing his song, just at the point when Sir Robin cuts him short he says a rude word.

Another line that I could carry on listening to forever is when Michael Palin says “…we are now NO LONGER the knights who say ni!”.

What I would really like would be for The Album Of The Soundtrack Of The Trailer Of The Film Of Monty Python And The Holy Grail to be reissued on CD with more of the scenes still intact. It was originally cut short because it needed to fit onto a record, but now CD’s have been invented they could at least add The Tale of Sir Galahad back in.
