Live Organ Transplants / The Galaxy Song - Monty Python

Please someone else please tell me they recognized the photograph of Haile Selassie I in the beginning of the bit and noticed the donors dreadlocks and added 2 and 2 together to realized the Python fellas knew a thing or two.

I really disagree. The shocking horror and violence of that scene is really necessary to get the Galaxy Song to hit home. You have to juxtapose this over the top moment of injustice and violence with this profound and humbling expression of the universe. It made this the second greatest segment of the film.

But you don't need to show the horror, suggestion is far more powerful. I get the impression that this is a scene they were hoping would be cut but wasn't.
It adds little to the song which stands on its own.

I'm using it :))))))))))))

Right on. I love Monty Python. They were (are) comedic geniuses with few equals, but in this instance, they simply went too far. I'm all for outrageousness if it has a point, but this is simply sick for sick's sake, which not only isn't funny, but can lead to some pretty backward artistic territory, as the comment on here about "socialized medicine" and "Obamacare" illustrate.

"But other sequences really do go right over the top into totally yucky juvenile humour, like a load of little boys trying to shock and just being boring." A review from the time of its release.

The idea here IS funny but the way its done isn't. It would have made a great quickie. As it stands it remains the only track on the CD I skip.

I forgot how freakin' gory some of these Monty Python skits could be. Sick bloody bastards......I love it ^_^

Is this John Cleese in this clip??
It sounds like him but isn't the same height and doesn't look like him LOL... thought it might be the video quality :S

Holy hell. I love Monty Python!
