Monty Python reinvented.

sallycinnamon78 · 07-16-2005, 08:38 PM

Here's my take on the situation:

Apologies to Monty Python and NASA... but it's waaaay past time that the Galaxy Song had a makeover. Here's my offering.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,

That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see

Are moving at a million miles a day

In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.

It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,

And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

I don't get it.

Damn HTML! Try again now, stars, it should be working...

Anyway, where was I? Ah, yes.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz

As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,

AND PRAY THAT THERE'S INTELLIGENT LIFE SOMEWHERE OUT IN SPACE,

BECAUSE THERE'S BUGGER ALL DOWN HERE ON EARTH.

I don't know if I understand this little project, but The Galaxy Song is one of my favorite Python moments.

Meaning Of Life

It's a very simple concept I'm afraid to say - nothing very artistic or inspired. I thought it would be fun to illustrate the songs with appropriate pics, as I'm currently bored and sleepless.

impy13 · 07-16-2005, 09:20 PM

It's cool. There was something very similar in B&C regarding Radiohead songs.

I like your taste in Python, though.

sorry sally, i'll stop drooling in your thread.

starsgoblue · 07-16-2005, 10:50 PM

Sorry, Sally!

impy13 · 07-16-2005, 11:05 PM

As a big Nails fan, I dig the avamatar too

starsgoblue · 07-16-2005, 11:09 PM

Sally is going to kill me~

Isn't the new album the shit though?!

impy13 · 07-16-2005, 11:50 PM

Yes, much better than The Fragile.

Though none of the songs rival The Galaxy Song, which sally has created this wonderful thread about

starsgoblue · 07-16-2005, 11:52 PM

Yes, The Galaxy....

sallycinnamon78 · 07-17-2005, 03:44 AM

LOL! Useless people, not appreciating my beautiful Python space thread!

Well, don't then. Simple.

You're just like my cantankerous fiance, who was equally unimpressed.

I enjoyed it anyway. Stuff all y'all!
Now go away.

A good review from someone on my blog site!

... has created a thoughtful and clever blog, bringing various unexpected elements together to illuminate her points in original ways. It's a real pleasure seeing what she's done. I especially like the Monty Python song collage. Thanks so much. I'll be back often. ..

It's nice to see that at least 2 people in 50,000 liked my little bit of nonsense with Python and pics.

Proves that I'm not the only nutcase round here which is always comforting.

Oh, and stars, don't worry, no probs -the thread wasn't going very far anyway.

Make that 3

Every thread related to the pythons is a good thread

sallycinnamon78 · 07-17-2005, 12:57 PM

Thanks

I only meant to put in a couple of related pics but, being me, kept having ideas of how more pics would fit... and look where it got me.

Sorry if I was grumpy, it was some ungodly hour of the morning and I manqaged to miss that comment you put in.

Must learn how to sleep again...

How about a thread that involves the 'Brave Sir Robin' song from HG?

I managed to kill the last Python thread by doing exactly that. But seeing as you asked so nicely:

His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his pen--
