The guy from Monty Python (and his friends)
Their best record is titled I fart in your general direction
My fave, You Don't Need To Follow Anybody.
With its catchy lyrics...
Look, you've got it all wrong.
You don't need to follow me.
You don't need to follow anybody!
You've got to think for yourselves!
You're all individuals!
You're all different!
You've all got to work it out for yourselves.
Don't let anyone tell you what to do!

Wasn't there this sad story of one of the members who would much rather have become a lumberjack? Leaping from tree to tree? As they float down the rivers of British Columbia? The Fir, the larch, the mighty Scots pine...
Everyone trying to look serious or intellectual and Cleese just grinning like an idiot in the background love it
The picture is from 1970. John Cleese is 30 or 31 years old in that picture...
Which would mean that he is now..does quick estimate older than time itself!
It’s…..

Track 1: 'Tis a silly place
Track 2: Fuck tha Rabbit!
Track 3: 8 Fall (into the Gorge of Eternal Peril)
Chapman: It trying to remember if he turned off the stove.
Idle: Has asked for the manager to complain, but turns out the manager is right about everything and he's realizing that just now.
Jones: Waiting for the bus, looking forward to the Pizza that is in his fridge.
Palin: "Hey kids, do you wanna see a dead body."
Cleese: Has just conceived of a new, exciting way to commit arson.
Gilliam: Not pictured because the new, exciting way to commit arson involved his car.
They originally were the Knights Who Say Ni, but broke up for a while for some solo work, then reunited as The Knights Who Say Ekki Ekki Ekki Pitang Zoom Boing. Best rap album ever, with the chart topper "Only a Flesh Wound".
I fucking love Spinal Tap!
The Lumberjacks!
Simultaneously the best and worst answer.
Now I have the lumberjacks song stuck in my head all day.
Definitely not me. I just want to go put on women's clothing and hang around in bars...
This is Blackadder, right?
This is Toad The Wet Sprocket, of course!
"Rex Stardust, lead electric triangle with Toad The Wet Sprocket, has had to have an elbow removed following their recent successful worldwide tour of Finland. Flamboyant, ambidextrous Rex apparently fell off the back of a motorcycle. "Fell off the back of a motorcyclist, most likely," quipped ace drummer Jumbo McClooney on hearing of the accident. Plans are already afoot for a major tour of Iceland.
"Divorced after only eight minutes, popular television singing star Charisma changed her mind on the way out of the registry office, when she realised she'd married one of the Donkeys by mistake. The evening before, in LA's glittering night spot The Abbatoir, she'd proposed to drummer Reg Abbott of Blind Drunk, after a whirlwind romance and a knee-trembler. But when the hangover lifted, it was Keith Sly of the Donkeys who was on her arm in the registry office. Keith, who was too ill to notice, remained unsteady during the short ceremony and, when asked to exchange vows, began to recite names and addresses of people who also used the stuff. Charisma spotted the error as Keith was being carried into the wedding ambulance, and became emotionally upset. However, the mistake was soon cleared up, and she stayed long enough to consummate their divorce.
"Dead Monkeys are to split up again, according to their manager Lefty Goldblatt. They've been in the business now ten years, nine as other groups. Originally the Dead Salmon, they became, for a while, Trout, then Fried Trout, then Poached Trout In A White Wine Sauce, and finally, Herring. Splitting up for nearly a month, they reformed as Red Herring, which became Dead Herring for a while, and then Dead Loss, which reflected the current state of the group. Splitting up again to get their heads together, they reformed a fortnight later as Heads Together, a tight little name which lasted them through a difficult period when their drummer was suspected of suffering from death. It turned out to be only a rumour, and they became Dead Together, then Dead Gear, which led to Dead Donkeys, Lead Donkeys, and the inevitable splitup. After nearly ten days, they reformed again as Sole Meunière, then Dead Sole, Rock Cod, Turbot, Haddock, White Bait, the Plaices, Fish, Bream, Mackerel, Salmon, Poached Salmon, Poached Salmon in a White Wine Sauce, Salmon Meunière, and Helen Shapiro. This last name, their favourite, had to be dropped following an injunction, and they split up again. When they reformed after a record-breaking two days, they ditched the fishy references and became Dead Monkeys, a name which they stuck with for the rest of their careers. Now, a fortnight later, they've finally split up."
"I wish I'd been a girly, just like me dear Mama!"
Or "like my dear Pa-Par" in some versions 🤣

unfortunately, the lumberjack song is a teeny bit transphobic by today's standards - if they were to do that today, the mountie singers and the lumberjack's lover would say "okay cool, you be you"
I love the instrumental version of My Hovercraft is Full of Eels
Yeah. I have it on CD. They had it on vinyl, too, but I refused to buy the record because it was scratched.
Or "American beer is like sex in a canoe.*
Wasn't this the group that got sued for sampling the Rutles?
wenn ist das nunstück git und slotermeyer? ja, beiherhund das oder die flipperwaldt gersput
us this not a war crime? there are a lot of germans here
the un DIDN'T say anything about that joke - NOTHING against germans, by the way
They turned me into a newt.
I got better…
Is this not the Beatles?
It's not even the Rutles.
Nope. Also, Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film seems to be absent
No, it's the Beat-Alls
There a rock band. Because, you know, the one guy uses a rock
I really hope this is sarcasm.
This is Deforested Hillock. Their biggest hit was "Advanced Maladjustment in the Noggin"
Nicki Minaj released the song Anaconda, but she really meant a Python.

Black Adder would be a great band name!
I always get the group and their first album mixed up: either Abuse or Argument
Shut your foul-mouthed gob, you tit! Your type makes me puke.
Fishie, fishie fishie-ooooooo

Would be better if you called 'em a brit pop band. Cause they all look british AF.
Gosh. Do they? What a funny coincidence.
