Monty Python's Flying Circus
Monty Python’s Flying Circus (known during the final series as just Monty Python) is a British sketch comedy series created by the comedy group Monty Python and broadcast by the BBC from 1969 to 1974. The shows were composed of surreality, risqué or innuendo-laden humour, sight gags and observational sketches without punchlines. It also featured animations by Terry Gilliam, often sequenced or merged with live action. The first episode was recorded on 7 September and broadcast on 5 October 1969 on BBC One, with 45 episodes airing over four series from 1969 to 1974, plus two episodes for German TV.
The show often targets the idiosyncrasies of British life, especially that of professionals, and is at times politically charged. The members of Monty Python were highly educated. Terry Jones and Michael Palin are Oxford University graduates; Eric Idle, John Cleese, and Graham Chapman attended Cambridge University; and American-born member Terry Gilliam is an Occidental College graduate. Their comedy is often pointedly intellectual, with numerous erudite references to philosophers and literary figures. The series followed and elaborated upon the style used by Spike Milligan in his ground breaking series Q5, rather than the traditional sketch show format. The team intended their humour to be impossible to categorise, and succeeded so completely that the adjective "Pythonesque" was invented to define it and, later, similar material.

Who are you, how do you do
Come on here, sit down, grab a brew, join my crew
I'm hoping you don't think that I am preachy or pompous
I can promise you my intention was the opposite
Cause see I don't have much time to be talkin bout partyin, or drinkin wine
‘Stead I'll tell you how I lost my mind n
Then I got it back, with a soul clap and a ‘ommm'
Burn the incense, wake the drone
Dial tone, get on the phone
Spread the word, get in the zone
Cause birds of a feather can flock thru any weather
And I think it's better, if we unite the tribe n do this forever, uh
Stack a lil chedda, eat it all together
Make a new gift economy
Then forgetta bout the past, rewrite, think fast
Now put this track
On blast

Yeah, I hear the hate, decided we're Illuminati
Kinda funny and your late
Let me help you now relate
You said you ‘crazy witch' don't let um here you spit
Who do you think you are and who did you come wit
Turns out I got a whole squad
Owls on my side
The nakturnal tribe, we'd rather walk instead a ride
Feel the ground beneath our feet, we marchin in the street
Awakenin fears on blast so we could delete, complete
Put the past where it belong, we all from one home
She called gaia mother earth and the planets prone
To be unforgiving, if we don't change how we're living
In your being, what your seeing
Can be deceiving
But we're responsible for what we're streaming
Out of transmission towers that we call brains
Our electric heart, more powerful than fame
So send out love and say WhoWOOO after your name
