It's... Owl Stretching Time: The Music of Monty Python

Thursday Mayhem 31 10:AM to 2:PM
Hosted by Sir Cumference

In October of 1969, five Brits and an American altered the comedy landscape with the premiere of Monty Python's Flying Circus - a sketch comedy show that even though it was influenced by the Goon Show and Spike Milligan's series "Q5", it was so different that even the show's first studio audience just didn't get it. What made John Cleese, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman and Terry Gilliam tick. Well, that's not what this special is about. Instead, we'll look at the music chosen from the various music libraries to accompany those zany sketches, punctuated those punchline free jokes and made those animations animated. It's... Owl Stretching Time: The Music of Monty Python's Flying Circus!
