The Meaning of Life (1983) Musical Soundboard

"The Meaning of Life" is a classic British comedy film released in 1983, directed by Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam. It is the final full-length feature film from the iconic Monty Python comedy group, whose members include Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin.

This hilarious film takes its audience on an absurdly whimsical journey, exploring various sketches and musical numbers that aim to reflect on the human condition and the question of life's meaning. The movie cleverly combines humor, satire, and absurdity to challenge societal norms and provoke thought.

The cast and band members of Monty Python bring their unique comedic talents to the screen, delivering a plethora of memorable characters and scenes. Graham Chapman portrays the pompous character "Fish" and participates in the infamous sketch "The Meaning of Life," where he hilariously teaches a classroom full of students about the very topic. John Cleese portrays various characters throughout the film, each showcasing his impeccable comedic timing. Terry Gilliam, known for his surreal animations, incorporates his talent into this film with animated sequences like "The Crimson Permanent Assurance."

Eric Idle delivers his comical brilliance in numerous sketches, including the iconic "Every Sperm is Sacred" musical number. Terry Jones adds his distinctive charm and wit, contributing to sketches such as "The Miracle of Birth" and "The Autumn Years." Michael Palin, widely regarded as a comedic genius, brings his impeccable versatility to the film, portraying a range of characters like the unforgettable "Mrs. Brown."

"The Meaning of Life" is not only known for its hilarious and thought-provoking sketches but also for its excellent musical numbers. The film features original songs composed by the Monty Python members themselves, with lyrics that are both clever and uproariously funny. The satirical "Every Sperm is Sacred" is an absolute highlight, combining catchy melodies with biting social commentary. Other memorable songs include "Galaxy Song," a comical exploration of the vastness of the universe, and "Christmas in Heaven," a darkly humorous take on the afterlife.

The film is a rollercoaster ride of absurdity, starting with the surreal short film "The Crimson Permanent Assurance," where a group of elderly accountants transform into pirates and rebel against the corporate world. From there, it delves into various sketches, all connected by the overarching theme of life's meaning. The audience is treated to scenes like the gruesome "Mr. Creosote" sketch, where a morbidly obese man consumes an absurd amount of food in a disgustingly memorable manner.

"The Meaning of Life" masterfully captures the essence of Monty Python's unique brand of humor, mixing intelligent satire with slapstick comedy and surrealism. It reflects on the human experience, providing comic relief while simultaneously questioning society's rules and norms.

If you're ready to dive into the absurd and explore the meaning of life through bizarre and hilarious sketches, "The Meaning of Life" is not to be missed. You can play and download the film's sounds here, immersing yourself in the unforgettable world of Monty Python and their uniquely British brand of humor.

A sun that is the source of all our power
A wise choice, monsieur
A wooden leg? No, no, a proper leg.
Ah, that's it. Forget about the Russians.
All right, then. That's enough. Take cover
ALL: A tiger?
And are now taking steps to remedy it.
And I hope very much we will see you again very soon.
And please don't stick thy servants, Lord
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
And revolving at 900 miles an hour
And that's the most expensive machine in the whole hospital
And the cleaning woman
And the tent peg to the house of Rashomon,
ANNOUNCER: We interrupt this film to apologize for this unwarranted attack
Another bucket for monsieur,
Apparently, your mother died this morning
Are moving at a million miles a day
Armed bands of theater critics exterminating mutant goats.
As my husband Howard here feels, or whether there is,
Be quiet!
Because their church never made the great leap out of the Middle Ages
Better get a bucket. I'm gonna throw up.
Biggs
But God loves those who treat
But if they'd let me wear one of those little rubber things
But not pari passu, as our research...
But out by us, it's just 3,000 light years wide
But, of course, warfare isn't all fun. Right. Stop that.
By pushing forward
Can I just ask, with reference to your second point,
Can I put the tube in the baby's head?
Can now take place.
Can we have your liver then? I would be scared.
Come and have a drink. Do. Come on
Come on, boy. Watch it. Route. Route!
Comes home all full of good intentions
Crumbling under the might of their business acumen
Dead? Dead.
Do we reincarnate
Don't fricassee or roast us
Don't grill or toast Your flock
Down, down! Get down!
Eggs Benedictine, tarte de poireaux, that's leek tart,
Eric! My balance sheets!
Every sperm is good Every sperm is good
Every sperm is great
FEMALE LEAF: Oh, my God!
Finally, monsieur, a wafer thin mint.
For each sperm that can't be found
For this is The Meaning of Life
For tonight it's The Meaning of Life
God needs everybody's
Good idea. Why not?
Good Lord!
Good thinking
Gotcha!
Great!
Have you ever wondered just why you're here?
He who brought the butter dish to Balshazar,
Here. File this.
Hip, hip. Hooray!
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
However, this soul does not exist ab initio,
I can't keep you all here any longer!
I do wish you'd listen, Wymer. It's perfectly simple.
I think this will help explain
I'm sorry. Only people involved are allowed in here
If a sperm is wasted
If certain modern theories concerning the shape of the world
In all of the directions it can whizz
In an outer spiral arm at 40,000 miles an hour
In Kadesh Bilgemath,
INSTRUCTOR: And spotteth twice they the camels before the third hour.
Into the ledgers of history,
Is Christmas Day
Is there heaven and hell
It will all be made clear
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It's Christmas in heaven
It's Christmas It's Christmas in heaven
It's Christmas It's Christmas in heaven
LEAF: (SOBBING) It's no good.
Learning the piano?
Listen to this.
Look, Blackitt cooked it especially for you, you bastard
Luckily, we have been prepared for this eventuality
MAN 3: Look up his trunk! MAN 4: Yeah! It's in his trousers!
MAN: Hey!
MAN: Let me out of here!
MAN: Row!
Michael, Evadne, Alice, Dominique and Sasha, it's your bedtime
Morning, Perkins.
Morning. Morning, gentlemen. Morning
My God!
Name two ways of getting them flowing, Watson
NARRATOR 2: But despite the attempts of Protestants
NARRATOR: The Meaning of Life, part two. Growth and learning.
Nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay Nay, nay, nay, nay
Nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay Nay, nay, nay, nay
None of you have got any balls.
Now here's the meaning of life.
Now, a word of advice
Now, lads, let's move
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
Oh, and, Jenkins,
Oh, jolly good.
Oh, sorry, sir. Sorry
Oh, very impressive, very impressive
Oh, yeah. Here we go.
Okay!
On a planet that's evolving
On the end of my cock,
Ooh! You are so big
Or you could reminisce about really great World Series.
Quite enough.
Right
Right. You ever wanted to know what it's all about?
Shall we take our cars? Why not?
Sheaths that are designed not only to protect,
Six
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
Spill theirs just anywhere
Stop him! Eric!
Stroking the thighs, sir? Yes, yes
Suck the nipple, sir? Good, good. Well done, Wymer
Sure. Why not?
Thank you.
Thanks! MAN: Charge!
The MO says we can stitch it back on if we can find it immediately.
The new bucket and the cleaning woman.
The snow falls from the sky
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
Their assets stripped,
Their semen with more care
There he is.
There you are. Have a nice conversation.
This is the 50th anniversary. No. We're doing it for a bet
This is The Meaning of Life
To decide for him or herself
To keep China British
Tsk, tsk, tsk
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
Um...
Um...
WAITER: Hello?
We go round every 200 million years
We're inmates of a Bengali psychiatric institution,
We're just doing our jobs, you know?
We've bought you something, sir. We bought you this, sir
Weigh the anchor!
Well, and after that?
Well, let's have a look at this one leg of yours, then, eh?
Well, we sort of like pineapple.
What do I do? Yes?
What is life What is our fate
Which brings us, once again, to the urgent realization
Who are playing in the match this afternoon move your clothes down
Who has been allowed to choose the manner of his own execution.
Working in a place like this
Would you kindly wake up?
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, I know what it is, but I'm using it.
Yeah. With the eggs on top.
Yes
Yes, Sarge. And I suppose
Yes, sir? What is it?
Yes, sir. Sorry, sir
Yes, we were. You know, whether death is really the end...
Yes, well, the thing is, Sergeant, I've got a bit of a problem here.
Yes, Wyclif, what is it?
You don't have to be a six footer
You sometimes win or lose,
'cause you see, I feel that life's a game.
