Australian Table Wines

The Ruude Boys with their, as usual, very special rendition of Monty Pythons' Australian Table Wine Sketch, better known as "King Solomon's Wines". Have a chuckle.

A very good rendition, imho. I think the accent stays a bit too posh throughout, though. I liked how in the original skit, Idle's accent gradually develops from being posh, and then into a more and more Strine accent :-)

@AngelusMerkel Its a fair cop! :)

:) You're right, but being a Yank I did the best I could. Cheers.

@AngelusMerkel I agree, Idle's version is the superior one, because of both his pace, shorter yet funnier pauses, and inflections.

Pretty good, though as others have said, the overlong beginning spoils it a little. And the music is horrible! Still, everyone's a critic. Especially with the anonymity of the internet.

Did this really need a 40-second, bandwidth-sucking introduction that adds precisely nothing to the original?

Can someone please put up the Python original? I only have it on vinyl, so can't, but Idle's Oz accent is excellent.
