Monty Python - Conrad Pooh's Dancing Teeth

[kernowdel]

Genius.

[Jack10000115]

i think the music is under the double eagle

[KrimzonFlygon1]

The flying fuuuuu...?

[tyreburster]

I found this music completely by chance on an old Marble Arch record entitled "Pride of the Ride". All fairground organ music. Don't ask me why I bought it, must have been one of those days. Anyway, the version used in this sketch is simply played at 45RPM rather than 33 to give it that slightly manic, surreal feel.

[zionravescene]

Pause at 1:50 for boobies.

[tsartodd]

Conrad Poohs looks a little bit like Ray Davies.

[lulle103]

British postal service is quite amazing.

[Applemask]

A LETTER.

[KKamy123]

umm that is wrong a letter and a telegram are the same thing

[evilegg288]

Man, Conrad has a really nice house.

[silverkedjan]

Oh I remember when I watched this movie with my friend who almost never smiles... He laughed like crazy when this scene came!

[Whitecroc]

Augh, my teeth hurt just from watching.

[hostrauer]

The music playing during the "teeth dance" is the German march "Unter dem Doppeladler" (Under the Double Eagle) by Josef Franz Wagner. And Conrad's face is based on, of course, Terry Gilliam himself.

[Canaveral305]

@hostrauer Oh god, I used to love that march, Under The Double Eagle, yet never noticed it was the same song ! Thanks for that !

[SidRulz100]

Now, can teeth REALLY dance? (Just being curious.)

[Whitecroc]

@SidRulz100

Play Planescape: Torment if you're curious.

[knoxklay11]

[viddymeenow]

Sometimes I just NEED this clip--VIVA TERRY G !!!!!

[Larrylarp]

Conrad Pooh shares a cunning resemblance to Terry Gilliam....

That guy is crazy, but that's what makes him a genius.

[wordreet]

One of the best things ever to have occurrrrrrrred on a wireless television broadcast thingy.

[MyHeart2JoeJonas]

lmao

[MrMurod]

LOL Conrad looks so happy to have his congratulatory letter, and so confused when the mailman plucks it right out of his hand.

[rat4cooler]

It's like a little Christmas every time I hear that marvelous intro theme.

[young5ever]

Where does Gilliam get such fabulous music?!?

[cartoonfan1920s]

I know! I love these ancient recordings. By the way, the tune is called "Under The Double Eagle", a traditional marching band tune played on a fairground pipe organ. Probably one of those automatic organs found in the victorian era, similar to a player piano :)

[tvc18]

@cartoonfan1920s Thanks I've been wanting to know that for years. :thumbsup

[Crossroadsinc]

@young5ever

Its called the "double eagle polka" 

[Josiahrob]

@young5ever Wagner, Under the Double Eagle, played on the organ.

[Josiahrob]

@young5ever Joseph Franz Wagner, Under the Double Eagle, played on the organ.

[gmullin]

@young5ever
