Dead Parrot Society - The Best of British Comedy (Monty Python)

Dead Parrot Society - The Best of British Comedy Review by Heather Phares Dead Parrot Society: The Best of British Comedy gathers sketches and music from witty British comedians and musicians such as Peter Cook, Listen With Mother, and, of course, Monty Python and its individual members. Three extended sketches, Peter Cooks "Memoirs of a Miner," Graham Chapmans "Oral Majority!," and Monty Pythons "Courtroom", are interspersed with the Portsmouth Sinfonias classically silly interpretations of "The William Tell Overture," and "Pinball Wizard," and sketches and songs like Dudley Moores "Psychedelic Baby," John Birds "The Audition," and Neil Innes "Protest Song." Python gems such as "The Dead Parrot," "Crunchy Frog," and "The Lumberjack Song" round out Dead Parrot Society, making it a fun, if somewhat anachronistic, look back at whimsical British comedy from the 60s and 70s. 01 Also Sprach Zarathurstra (Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey) Portsmouth Sinfonia 2:00 02 The Dead Parrot Monty Python 6:11 03 The Courtroom - Scene I: "The Charges" Monty Python 4:30 04 Memoirs of a Miner, Pt. 1: "Which Ones Marcel Proust?"
