Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Tony-award winning musical 'Spamalot' is mostly an adaptation of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", but which Python movie does the finale come from?

Answer: The Life of Brian

Also used in the middle of the show, 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' was originally sung by Brian's fellow crucifixees at the conclusion of "The Life of Brian".

2. Which American diplomat did the Monty Python troupe write a song about?

Among other things, they said he had "...nicer legs than Hitler..."

Answer: Wednesday

"... and has buttered scones for tea."

5. In 'The Knights of the Round Table' from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", which of these lines was sung solo?

Answer: "Have to push the pram a lot."

Although the Broadway musical took its name from one of the other lines, "I have to push the pram a lot" (the last line in the song) is a blatant example of just finding a new rhyming phrase.

6. In the film "Monty Python's Meaning of Life" the song 'Every Sperm is Sacred' is sung by the Protestants.

Answer: False

It is sung by the Catholics.

7. In the Monty Python song, what kind of animal is Eric?

Answer: Half a bee

Eric the Bee? No, Eric the Half a bee. He had an accident. (Take it away, Eric the Orchestra Leader!)

8. Which famous (or infamous) song by the Monty Python troupe, about a certain part of the male anatomy, was subtitled "Not the ______ _________ Song"?

Answer: Noel Coward

From "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life", this is the song sung by the pianist (say that fast and it's even funnier) before Mr. Creosote's entrance into the restaurant.

9. According to Monty Python, who is the first person you should never be rude to?

Answer: An Arab

As the admonitions become less politically correct, the song is ended when the singer is blown up.

10. What famous Monty Python song is performed by Vikings?

Answer: The Spam Song

Waitress: "Well, there's egg and bacon; egg, sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg, bacon and spam; egg, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam; spam, sausage, spam, spam, bacon, spam, tomato, and spam; spam, spam, spam, egg and spam; spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam; or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam."

Vikings: (singing)
"Spam spam spam spam
Spam spam spam spam
Lovely Spam! Wonderful Spam!"
