Monty Python - Accountancy Shanty (Meaning Of Life)

One of my favorite scenes ever from Monty Python, I just love the powerful little old people, their gigantic tower of a ship, and their happiness. :P I couldn't find it anywhere on YouTube so I felt I had to post it. No copyright infringement intended, I do not own this! Go check out Monty Python instead! Now let's sing along, lads! ;D

It's fun to charter an accountant,
And sail the wide accountan-cy.
To find, explore the funds offshore,
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy.
It can be manly in insurance.
We'll up your premium semi-annually.
It's all tax-deductible,
We're fairly incorruptible.
We're sailing on the wide accountan-cy.

I think this must be the first time we were shown that if you give Terry Gilliam a budget and he'll produce magic.

You can really hear Eric singing in this! It's great. I think this is one of the most underrated Python songs, it's funny and RIDICULOUSLY catchy!

Didn't he do Time Bandits 2 years before?

[Richard Canipe]

well still the earth is round like a ball since Christopher Columbus noticed that!

And just think what he could have done with Harry Potter back when JK Rowling wanted him to direct instead of Chris Columbus.

That's strange. I have it in my copy. O:

[AbuAvital]

Thanks, any idea why it was dropped?

I assure you this is part of The Meaning of Life. It's from the Crimson Permanent Assurance which is a short film before Meaning of Life officially begins.

[AbuAvital]

this was not in my copy of "Meaning of life" so would question this segments title.
