Am I allowed that as a blog title?? Well, we'll see won't we!! ;o)
Monty Python's Meaning Of Life was on ITV4 this evening and I had forgotten just how funny a film it was. I luckily managed to catch it right at the very begining with Part One: Birth followed very quickly by Birth - Third World Country (Yorkshire). Tears of laughter rolling down my face by this point.
I remember watching some programme recently that mentioned how when a child actor is used the parents have to check off a list as to what words they're happy for the kid to say and what they can do. For some reason I tried to imagine trying to get thirty to forty children and their parents to be happy to sing the 'Every Sperm Is Sacred' song.
I mean, can you imagine trying to tell the PC Brigrade that the kid's verse is to go like this:
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
GIRL:
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood
and imagine that they'd be happy...
I got the Python's Favourite bits from the Flying Circus and to be honest I'm surprised that I haven't watched any of them yet. That is something I shall have to recify!!
