Description: |
I stumbled over the words for this one so many times so this was the best of over forty takes that's how bad I was today __________________________________________________________ "The Galaxy Song" is a song written by Eric Idle which originally appeared in the 1983 film Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, later being released onto the album Monty Python Sings. The song appears toward the end of a sketch named Live Organ Transplants where the 'surgeon', upon failing to proposition Mrs. Brown for her liver in the kitchen, abruptly opens the refrigerator door to a man wearing a pink tuxedo who accompanies her through space singing about the universe. The lyrics include a number of astronomical facts, and (within the limits imposed by creative licence), the figures tend to be tolerably accurate. In scientist Paul Kohlmiller's analysis of the facts presented in The Galaxy Song, the final line "'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth." is footnoted by his observation: "An unassailable truth." In British English, the expletive "bugger all" means "nothing" |
