My brother alerted me to "the flying circus" many years ago. Well, to be honest, it just didn't take. Then a few years later a good friend also sang the praises of Monty Python and I was hooked. All of the cast members hold a special place in my heart. Their comedy is unique. I'm so glad I got to live to see it.

During the Falclands campaign HMS Sheffield( The Shiney Sheff) was hit by a missile that killed many of the crew and injured many more. As the ship slid beneath the waves, the last man into the liferaft was the Captain. All the crew were in shock, but in the darkness came a voice, " All ways look on the bright side of life!" More than a song mate, more than a song, Thank you.

As an American, this is one (of only a few) songs sung by a Brit, (that I know of) where they don’t lose their British accent when singing. - The other songs (that I can easily recall) are “500 Miles” by the Proclaimers, & “Cool for Cats” by Squeeze.

@mikdavies5027 Год назад

You clearly haven't listened to many British song acts then!

@MikeCee7 Год назад

@@mikdavies5027 That’s correct. I only know the songs that make it over here, on American airplay. - But I’ve been curious for over 40+ years of why (or how) British people lose their accent when they sing? I’ve never heard an explanation that makes sense.

@mikdavies5027 Год назад

@@MikeCee7 I would be curious as to which songs you are referring to! (Or do you mean the occasional so-called 'mid-atlantic' intonation)

@MikeCee7 Год назад

@@mikdavies5027 I don’t understand your question to me. What is “mid-Atlantic intonation”? (are you referring to Midwest American accent?) (But that wouldn’t be mid Atlantic that would be “Midwestern”) - I thought my question to you was obvious to understand. I’m referring to: that 99% of the songs I hear from British artist, they lose British accent & they sound American. if I need to give you examples. Any song by Annie Lennox. (her speaking voice I cannot understand, but when she sings, she had no accent) An examples of current one, would o Adele. (she speaks for the cockney accent yet sings with American accent) and here are some more examples any song by Oasis,the Gallagher brothers it is hard to understand their speaking voice, but no accent when they sing. - And without me thinking too hard, I’ll just throw out some easy ones for you. Songs by Elton John, his speaking voice he has a British accent, yet his singing voice he doesn’t have an accent. the same with Paul McCartney and John Lennon etc etc etc. - I assume that you’re British, and if you are? can you explain this phenomenon to me? - British people lose their accent when they sing? I’ve never heard an explanation that makes sense. - Here’s my (simple) question (again ) (from my previous posts)

@fluffiedoom 4 года назад

How do you know that? That's very presumptuous. It might not be "exactly" like this because they've already done it. However, there are some wonderfully funny people out there and if someone (or a group of people) are passionate enough...they'll get their projects made no matter what and there will always be people that will support that.

The Whitest Kids U'Know is a modern American sketch comedy troupe heavily influenced by Monty Python. They had a show on IFC for a while, but most of their stuff is up on RU-vid. The guys in WKUK are currently working on a film that will likely be out sometime next year.

@huh98 5 лет назад

I think a lot of the younger crowd don't realize that Live at the Hollywood Bowl was a theatrical release. I think most younger people think that came out for cable or video release only. The same goes with And Now For Something Completely Different to a lesser extent. I'm just glad Python is still as popular as they were when I was a kid. It's amazing how almost 50 years later they're still popular and still funny and still beloved by people of all ages. What other comedy troupe could claim this?

Connections - Eric Idle recently said in a documentary about the late Tim Brooke-Taylor that he owed his entire career to Tim and fellow Goodie, Bill Oddie, who chose him to join their comedy team at university - Idle and the Python team then tried to return the favour by inviting Brooke-Taylor to join Monty Python from the get-go....Brooke-Taylor declined as he felt his writing was not strong enough to justify his place - this from the man who co-wrote the famous "4 Yorkshiremen" sketch.....
