Galaxy Song - Monty Python - The Meaning Of Life

[sallyg270]

Is it just me or is Eric Idle really attractive?

[nelandquinten]

i wish that terry gilliam lived in my fridge

[nezangel]

Clever, funny, accurate & sung by the brilliant Eric Idle - can't get any better than that! :)

[Vivzid]

genius

[alittlebeatle]

My physics teacher brought me here

[vidstuff007]

@alittlebeatle Glad you could come. Hope you did well in the final. Now, watch the whole movie and learn "The Meaning of Life" : ]

[BritishSoulBoy60]

"Pray that theres intelligent life somewhere up in space

Cause theres bugger all down here on planet earth."

How accurate that is!!

[machetero1]

Have a final on the milky way in an hour. Watching this as a review!

[russXhunter]

Next time some bitch whines on Facebook about her boyfriend or some shit, point them to this song

[Karmannah]

Hahaha...only saw this movie the one time...when it first came out. Never forgot this melody... it's as charming as they come. Eric's performance reminded me of the old Disney Jiminy Cricket singing. Sweet! This is the cool thing about Youtube...finding stuff like this.Great post!! ~KStKing

[GunBigotHater]

I love this song, and the Pythons, but this vid kept freezing up.

[jbgiggs]

Epic

[lilwil132]

that was shit quality vid

[snaggletoothed13]

@lilwil132 it 30 years old

[ukhistorian]

God bless Eric Idle.

[doctabaldhead]

The fact that Nostalgia Critic had to point you to this reflects on your tastes very badly.

My video rental place's fantastic dollar rental section brought me here. 

[Ulicus]

At 1:17 I expected the transformers to come storming out.

[supercattle]

This plays in my mind whenever people are going on about their problems.

[Seirafan99]

people aren't wearing enough hats... they're not wearing hats xD i think thats the joke though

[HeroofMightandmagic1]

42

[xRoBoLoGYx]

lofl ... why can't I stop looping this goofy ass song?

I digz it :)

[fraternica]

I love how they're holding back their british accent so hard :D

[Lobsterboyman]

Really now.....

[Saninadult]

Nostalgia Critic brought me here.

[turunen45]

@Saninadult He didnt "bring" you here. He just had a clip of this song in his review and you did come here all by yourself. if i see a terrorist shooting people and decide to kill 70 infants in an birth clinic did the terrorist make me to do it?

[Saninadult]

@turunen45 Let me my fantasy :<!

[Treblaine]

That's what I call 'fridge horror'

[MrMaxBoivin]

This is not only fun, it's instructive. Watch and learn.

[Jetkillr]

"and pray there there is intelligent life somewhere up in space because theres bugger all down here on earth"

[Funaru]

Eric Idle would have made a terrific Willy Wonka.

[jvemPiRe14]

"people are not wearing enough hats" tf2 is the meaning of life????

[elitezombieslayer129]

I wish my fridge had it's own Eric Idle.

[BigBossDBA]

i love how he says expanding

[ItsCheyenneBrown]

Obviously the fridge is a TARDIS.

You know how those Brits roll.

[LibraMoon777]

I learned more from this film than I ever did at school.

[SimonsHappyToxicCake]

@LibraMoon777 Yep its not good but its true.

[MrRexel14]

so.....can we have your liver then? "yeah alright you talked me into it"

[bobothetwit]

I've not worn a hat in ages!

[4246theone]

i think this film is funny as f but the beginning of the film dragged out to long with few laughs when it finally dooes finish it really takes of. crazy humour or what.

[stfwho]

"2: Matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches. It has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.

[pause]

What was that about hats, again?

[4246theone]

@stfwho whatever

[stfwho]

@4246theone yes

[4246theone]

@stfwhoi never saw that bit about hats at the bottom. yes that was quite funny. you can get back to your life now.

[stfwho]

@4246theone Your comment was funny. You can get back to your life now.

[littlemisscheeky1999]

pray that theres intelligent life somwhere else in space coz theres b*gger all down here on earth

got to be my fav bit

[walruspower60]

Humor is truth. This is Truth.

[earthvisitor3]

Always make me laugh and all their other sketches...thanks

[Darkneko011]

F'n epic...and will always be somthing your kids will watch and call a classic

[TheDuling]

Me and my friend watched this movie yesterday, hahaha god I love it!

Maybe not what two fourteen year old usually do normally .. Haha, but this is a thousand times better than listening to ... Justin Bieber, for example.

I never get tired of Monty Python, i love them!

[Simo2009BORO]

@TheDuling justin bieber is shit and doesnt even compare in numbers to monty python

just dont try because you shal fail XD

[TheDuling]

@Simo2009BORO that's True :)

[kuwabara117]

No! Shouldve kept the pirates coming

[OZITOMAE]

i'm so gonna pass my science exam with this xD

[zachmasterzach]

(awkward pause.)

...Can we have your liver, then?

[Kerma7]

I learned more from this song than from my astronomy class.

[buchananfibbing]

Free energy technology exists!But the Oil companies want these technologies unknown to the masses,Find the real deal, a free energy device at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,take part in the revolution!

[coolstuff123456789]

1:44 Shoop da whoop?

[BlackBeardDelight187]

This is what should be preached every sunday

[MoultonProductions]

Learning about the galaxy has never been more entertaining. :)

[cellogirlMJfan]

i wish eric idle came out of MY fridge!

[Weresosorry]

1:44 Im 12 and what is this

[newton2013]

The humor runs deeper, people aren't wearing enough hats... * White hat (Blank sheet): Information & reports (objective) * Red hat (Fire): Intuition, opinion & emotion (subjective) * Yellow hat (Sun): Praise, positive aspects, (objective) * Black hat (Judge's robe): Criticism, negative aspects,(objective) * Green hat (Plant): Alternatives, new approaches (speculative) * Blue hat (Sky): "Big Picture," "Conductor hat," "Meta hat," "thinking about thinking", (overview)

[robbieC971]

@newton2013 r u atistic?

[watcherFA]

This is quite possibly the best scene Monty Python ever constructed. I love the zaftig "universal woman" who is impregnated, too--nice touch.

[vef444]

Yes, two points. And the point one is more important.

[Ericius]

3:10 People are not wearing enough hats.

We need more hats in our war themed hat simulator! >:O

[fallbread]

classic lol

[ewyupoo]

hahaha understand why the teacher didnt let us watch some of this video now :P

[jaaaaaaaaw]

people aren't wearing enough hats.....

[reikihaze]

I love this clip. I lve the way the team use humour to make a serious point

[1ponyplop]

"Cause there's bugger all down here on earth!"

[Rotanewra]

Eric Idle is legendary.

[thechayman]

Most likely people are not wearing enough hats

[FlamingBat]

God, I love those vintage synthesizers!

[5inthehole]

I personally think it has to do with point number 1, not enough people wearing hats.....did anyone else notice that building over there?? LOL!!

[aron10194]

this is one of my favorite songs because its just like the animaniacs version of this, its a cool, catchy song and its actually informative. its a cool combination and i like it.

[MrDrakan]

unbeatable, simply cool, and the lyric is really catchy, like all the monty python songs =)

Big hug from spain

[ianmauche]

1:43 VECTOR VAGINA

[fdslk1]

actually is frame animation.

[crazy0christoph]

calms one down, doesn't it? ^^ knowing it's not important what u do after all cause it's all negligible... or as they put it in "life of brian": life's a joke en the last laugh is on u!

[loltubelvr007]

I believe his first theory is correct.

The meaning of life is PEOPLE AREN'T WEARING ENOUGH HATS!!

[Aapjesfan12]

@loltubelvr007 d'uh :P

[fdslk1]

What was that about hats again?

[redauir]

@loltubelvr007 TF2 had it right, then. Huh.

[avenger813]

@loltubelvr007 MEANWHILE AT VALVE............

[Miloich]

Very educated, isn't it?

[jaywolfe82]

Perspective...

[2boddah]

lol

[eclecticanarchist]

the crimson permanent assurance!

[EvilManProductions]

we are now prepared for this attack and moving foward or somthing like dat.

[rackinfrackin]

Genius!

[mignonhenne]

where is the vagina in vector graphics?

[aspikedpenis]

To make such a brilliantly entertaining song so loaded with facts is point and proven of the shear genius of the Monty Python.

[shadow3191]

that was a cool song

[jaysonman100]

lets pray that theres intelligent life somwhere up in space cuz theres bugger all down here on earth lmao so true i love these guys there brilliant!!

[mpgorilla66]

I always watch "The Meaning of Life" as a birthday gift from me to me.

[weishauptogram]

Can we have your liver then

[EvilManProductions]

ja, talk me into it

[sindre1106]

Make a video whit just the song

[BriBri897]

OMG that american accent is sooo bad (@ 2:45.) i lol'd so hard

[Merseymedia]

Its like the way the americans do the british accent XD pay back

[BriBri897]

Meh, Some of them are quite good. they always sound generic though.

[thrall292]

WOAH i was gonna go back to school for the first time in ages. i was sat in my kitchen, then this song came into my head. proably because both school and this song have always been a big deal. i havn't heard this song for ages yet i suddenly heard it in my head 5 minuts ago. 0.0

[tunafish8D]

I'm brittish =D and one thing thats annoying is that in all american programs were always the snobby bad guys, were the opposite to that! and

we luv humour, and we never make you the baddies on our shows.., lol Still I luv america =]

[Nowekian]

"Find yourself a bucket. Drop in the solar chickpeaNow add 999,999 similar chick peas. Better make it a real big bucket. Thats how many other suns there are in the Milky Way." ~ not quite... that would only be a million!! you'd need a thousand of those buckets just to make a billion...! (1,000,000,000<-this many) and a hundred rooms of a thousand of those buckets to get to a hundred billion!! (kinda puts the national debt in perspective, no?)

[genericmeatunit]

i like this movie. it had boobs. that seemed important when i saw it as a young boy.

[giicupcake]

@genericmeatunit monty python always had boobs.

[turunen45]

@genericmeatunit Agreed! Breasts make every movie better. especially when you are a kid and dont know about porn yet.

[TheKittyGirly]

Coool

[kanalratti]

he is my favorit monty phytons actor

[thepointlessdude]

these comics are the best! they're also very clever so they have witty humour. but it did stir up some arguments. oh, by the way i'm wearing a hat!

[GreenGriphon]

2:10 is the best part

[EgoApocalypse]

People are not wearing enough hats!!!!!!!!

[Hamohash]

Classic Eric Idle :D

[CandleFountain]

Apart from that really inapropriate part it was a nice song

[SuperWillHatch]

That's the Python kick.

[damanhl]

jeez...some people get easily offended.

[tehplow]

i luve monty python

[Zindere]

yes he also sings the intro tzepesh. Eric Idle is his name.

[rifleshot07]

he has a great voice always cheers me up

[vidstrika22]

ye it is bugger all down here on earth this planet sucks...

[Netnajs]

We could try to make it better? =)

[MasterAndreRaven]

Indeed...we could.

[SillyComments]

we could try and stop leaving useless comments for a start... i personnaly still haven't managed...

[Netnajs]

You can make the world a better place by simply being nice to people, try to show some love, smile to the person you walk past on the street in stead of flipping him the finger. It works for me and you'l me surpriced to know that it's not just a stupid saying that; "If you smile at the world, the world smiles back"... Sure, we cannot eliminate A-Bombs or stop war.... But so what? We can at least act human to our fellow men

[Netnajs]

And no, being human is not a synonym for being a hippie or a crazed green peace activist.

[bertywalker]

And then we can slurp each other's soft bits.

[Mindwobble]

catchy tune

[nukleopatra88]

The special effects in this movie will always impress me.

[killerrabbit612]

Check OUT that CGI guys!!!!

That has got to be the most realistic shit I've ever seen in my life!

[chucknasty71]

whats that?

[vidstuff007]

I think that they are talking about the graphics @ 1:35

[MiPedoteTUMBA]

this song is AMAZING!

[OOOooermilindaooOOO]

Galileo was inprisoned by the Roman Catholic Church for his belief that the sun was the center of the universe. Geocentrism vs heliocentrism, this song could at one time be considered blasphemous. So basically any out of the box thinking or any thought that is not controlled by the Church is considered blasphemy. Which in my eyes makees the Church blasphemous against God, Christ and man.

Happy Earth Day & God bless us all

[juandacharroninja]

Dear Sir or MAdam, Galileo was not imprisoned by stating that the Sun was the center of the Universe per se, but that of our galaxy, nad the Roman Catholic Church is an institution that has perverted the true doctrines of Christ, the modern Babel, the whore that wears of red.

Thank You.

[teainthesahara]

That's rubbish.

[matthartman19]

No comments as to the second point. Makes it all the more amusing! Cleverly disguised, right in front of you, naked, baring Your very soul, Life itself!

[Supra777mlg]

it makes u feel a bit unsignificant , dosent it.?

yeah.... can we have ur liver now?

amazing song brings tears to ur eyes, this is the real meaning of life, we a part of an amazing miracle going on all around us. 5/5 for this brilliat humorists

[solfegg]

I nominate this song for this award: "song most likely to be stuck in your head when you're tripping"

[vidstuff007]

Please check the article that I posted under "More Info" from "Sault This Week - Ontario, CA"

It digs into the facts & new information on our expanding universe...

[shannonkay7769]

it's actually 11 million miles an hour. rounded off.

[UwannaDiebuddy]

The calculations he says are almost all correct. Of course he rounds off a lot though. Some a a little off still.

[Cyrathil]

It's a movie from more a decade ago, and it I'm not sure any of the Monty Python crew are specifically physicists or astronomers, and the movie is just for entertainment purposes. Pretty good, all that withstanding.

[jazzx251]

Quarter of a century! (1983)

Brilliant movie - love the sperm song as well!

[squashfishes]

the sprem song is gold!! back in thier day it was like blasphamy . timeless gold!!!!

[themickeymouseband]

The calculations that Eric Idle says in this song: Do you reckon they are acurate?

[BearsRule43]

well you could look it up for me so i stop wondering now that you put the thought in my head.

[themickeymouseband]

Most of it i cant even find

[vidstuff007]

I just put up an article (under more info...) I found on some "mistakes" in the song...

[pableision]

People are not wearing enought hats...

[potpolnaludost]

LOL...

[clarinetchum]

so are you saying that human souls don't develop beacause of distractions......Did anybody else notice that building here before?

[mhcsolja1]

THE BEST!!!! The machine that goes bleeeeep was hilarious.

[lubidog]

Oh just brilliant!!!!! Thanks!

[pmq123]

what did he say at the ending?

because there's ....... down here on earth?

[vidstuff007]

"'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth. "

I have the lyrics under "More Info" top right...

Cheers~

[magicmage777]

really good that u put the lyrics at the side thx

[OldManMikey]

You're right, a vintage Monty Python clip.

It was a good laugh to see that again.

Cheers!

[wynem]

really fun song

[sumfamousperson17]

But would it rhym? :o

[PyroManiacXI]

um you do realize this is a very old COMEDY movie right... why do ppl hafta be so serious all the time!

Monty Python pwns!!!!

[smortx]

i agree as much as i agree with anything i can agree

[doryenc]

i think you've missed the point, mate.

[sumfamousperson17]

I want this on my iPod!

[vidstuff007]

Go to vixy(dot)net

Download the converter and select the mp4 format

You can use the on-line version, but it can get busy. The downloaded beta version is better.

It will also let you convert videos into .mp3 song files...

They are both free.

[sumfamousperson17]

Hey, thanks :D

[vortexknight68]

my fav phython song

[STUIPIDJIMY]

this video also has no friggin point! ......but it is still very funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fukthecorrupt]

Probably the best thing ever committed to film.

[Lkyda]

No the English are funny,they dont take things too seriously

unless its cricket.

[stevenqu248]

so get this

when i was young my dad would always sing this song to me. i memorized the first two verses. when we got to the galaxy in school, i found out i knew most of the facts and numbers from this song already. i never knew the song he sung to me was monty python material until recently. this is so cool :)

[hatfez]

...funny, I used to sing this song to my kids as well! I just did it because it was funny, I never realized that it would help with school lessons!

[lawz128]

can we have yoor liver then?

yea alrite yoo talked me into it! haha

[GypsyWytch]

This is such a cute song!

[xxspartan0746xx]

Your a tard :)
