Galaxy Song, taken from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Terry Jones picked this as part of his Top 10 Monty Python Movie Moments for Esquire Magazine -
"It's such a lovely song. I think it's one of the best things Eric [Idle]'s ever done. There was going to be more animation but Terry was so busy with other parts of the film we ended up using more of the live-action parts that I'd shot for safety."

My dad used to sing this to me as a lullaby when I was a kid.
I can still recite it.
... I have a damn cool dad.
Hell yea you do!
Did he edit that last line? Great dad either way!
I did the same for my daughter.
My mom used to play this album and I remember I used to go around singing every sperm is sacred when I was like 7

I always found this song incredibly moving. And then I would get mad at myself for crying during a Monty Python song. But I've made peace with it now.
The song is very moving. It makes you feel insignificant. That heals you. Same as you look at mountains and stars. You feel insignificant. Your issues are even smaller. That is healing. It is a song against depression and anxiety.
OP, completely with you. It’s good to make peace 😅
Nice to stumble on this comment as I tear up listening to this. Not sure why I am tearing up. But I am.
you are not alone!@@EnricoPallazo
It's Pure Genius - I post it to Flat Earthers and Explain that Monty Python understood the nature of space better than them 40 Years ago
Never have we needed this song more than in 2024.... thanks, Monty Python!
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown...
I KNOW RIGHT?!
Preach!
Nothing can cheer you up faster than Eric Idle coming out of your fridge in a pink tux and singing :)
oh god i love monty python
I love that the quip about "there's bugger here down on earth" is accompanied by doing something that could endanger one's life... :P
It's why my milk went bad a week early. :(
true dat
gaming nerd innit doe .Eric Idle at his very best which is what he is x
I don't think Eric Idle's talents as a songwriter and lyricist get nearly enough appreciation. The guy did unit conversion until he found lyrics that worked.
At least he finally wrote a Broadway show and got recognized for it
12,000,000 miles a minute was lovely.
Totally. Wish he hadn't had done that I Like Chinese song though.
@@MikusMusik twas a product of its time to be sure.
You should have seen him in The Mikado. He did a wonderful job singing there!
RIP Terry Jones, this is old but is still funny as hell
It’s not quite old. It’s feeling better. It feels happy!
Don't matter if it's old, so long as it's timeless!
And true
Old school ... the best school ... Pepperidge Farm remembers:)
Terry Gilliam
There's something in Idle's voice that is so soothing, especially in the Galaxy's Song. Just like a father reassuring his child. I love it.
Also in this one :) ruclips.net/video/p9PiqCeLEmM/видео.html
"And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in spaceCause there's bugger-all down here on Earth"
Hits the nail on the head, really.
Peter Andersson Tumblr is evidence theres bugger all down here in earth
you are DAMN right!
well... i think he is speaking about the people who voted "leave" and 55% of americans... and all non-atheists
As a SU and IZ fan
Yes
Definitely
Absolutely
That's how I now say bye.
this is fucking art.

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause it's bugger all down here on Earth
its funny how scientists call this song out for being inaccurate so often these days. But as Eric Idle says, it was accurate at the time the song was written/performed to the best of human knowledge. Absolutely guarantee that if they rewrote it to todays understanding it too would be inaccurate in 10-15 years.
let the bloody nit-pickers have their fun.
Meanwhile, the hair band Europe sang "we're heading for Venus with so many lightyears to go" in their song called The Final Countdown. Good job, considering there's around 1.5 AU there at its farthest... there are 63241 AU in a lightyear. Talk about taking a wrong turn.
The only inaccuracy is that instead of 100 billion stars. There's 200 billion according to modern science. I passed my astronomy final by memorizing this song
@@flatline42 thank you very much for linking that! Really interesting to read.
Some of the figures are within a good boundary. They took a few liberties to help fit the meter of the song.
I don't get that when I open my fridge. It's just flames and a voice says Zuul

34 minuets ago? here from the election are we?

Nope, but the sentence is still relevant,
Whoami691 we elected Trump as president. So I'm gonna go ahead ahead and say yeah.
So... can we have your liver, then?
I read this as it played by chance lol
Good bye Miss Brown.

Finally got her liver.
All of us are
@@SerbAtheist I hope they sauteed the onions. maybe a hint of paprika and a handful of thyme?
I love the way Eric Idle says "expanding"
I was just gonna comment about that lol!

Last time I was at the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia, they had this clip displayed on a monitor, in a continuous loop, in the astronomy section.
Even the giant green space vagina?
well they're scientists, so basically not real americans.
If you go to the Woodstock Museum, they have the South Park Hippies episode playing on a continuous loop as well.
Dan Magoo I find that hard to believe that a museum had a video with a space vagina.....yes I’m calling you a liar
Our phyiscs teacher showed us this in class once. It always stuck with me that he tried to cover and talk over the use of the word "bugger" but freely let the rest of the song play through.
I can't tell if this is supposed to make me feel insignificant or make me feel good to be alive
Its supposed to make you feel better by showing you how insignificant your problems are. Thats whats it about in the context atleast. Try to find the organ donor sketch from their movie meaning of life. Its the prequel to this song.
David Copithorne The key line is 'how amazingly unlikely is your birth'. The sheer fact of your existence is a massive plus. In addition, I'm not living in the middle of a civil war, or suffering an incurable disease. Things could be worse.
David Copithorne Both.
cobaltno51 Exactly what I was thinking! When you remember how much space there is around you, it makes all your problems seem much smaller. I watch this every time I feel stressed. :)
cobaltno51 You don't need your liver, do you?
I know this is going to get buried in the sea of comments but this is the song my uncle, Mike, wanted played at his funeral and a lot of the people there were confused but I was just thinking that things like these were exactly why I loved my uncle Mike. ❤
Don’t know him but … I miss you Mike. I pray you where made a star in the galaxy. 💫
So, was the song played?
@@marjetacedilnik8622 I think it was as the op said “a lot of the people there was confused” after mentioning about the song.
It was my uncle that introduced me to this movie so we have something in common
Reign in perpetuity, Mike!
Happy 80th Birthday, Eric Idle!
Next time my mom asks why do I open the fridge so much, I'll tell her "I'm expecting a man in a pink suit to drop by and sing me a song"

@@gangrenousgandalf2102 That just seems too awesome to be true, but one can dream.
Funny how we all feel the same about others
@Jonathan Gray ; Because that's one small step for man.....
His singing voice is pure comfort.
Eric Idle and John Cleese did a show in my city some years ago. Eric sang this song during the show and it was amazing. He sounded almost like the original song, so little had changed though he was many years older, he sang this clear, steady, and If I wasnt watching him live, I could almost imagine it was a studio recording. It was the best part of the show imo.
*_It's really sad that Terry Jones died at the age of 77 in January 22, 2020. We'll going to miss you. RIP._*
I didn't know he'd passed so recently...
May he rest in peace. His influence on Britain and the world as a whole will never be forgotten.
God I wish that were me
@Mr. Friendship I thought you only listened Beethoven, Mr. Alex Delarge
*_If only he had died at the age of 77 in January 23, 2020 instead._*
Jokes aside, it really is sad. Still, this song makes me feel more like celebrating his birth than mourning his death.
Thankfully it wasn't from the coronavirus
I love the way it's presented in the movie, just trying to convince her to give up her liver then he says "listen to this" and a guy comes out of a refrigerator and starts singing lol
...How long has he been there
it's best to not apply logic to Monty python
+Bryce Hubscher Monty python smashes reality and logic to a bloody pulp and creates its own, with crayon,sheer bloody brilliance and one centuries worth of coke
Then how do you explain the wingspan of a sparrow? Checkmate.
i like how pointless it makes you feel
Terry Jones is such a beautiful woman.
Perineum I always preferred Eric Idle.
Did Terry ever not dress as a woman on MP???
Terry does a great judge in the Court Martial sketch, can recommend.
@@HappyCynic I always thought Eric made the prettiest girl 😂
RIP
I don't know what it is about this song, but I find it very soul cleansing. I find myself listening to it when I feel overwhelmed by the world around me.
Probably the last few lines, just remember, there better be intelligent life somewhere up in space, because there is truly bugger all down here on earth.
agreed. me too
Don’t sweat the small stuff (it’s all small stuff)
0:22 Cleese standing awkwardly waiting as they walk into space
no, goes still as he blends, then fades to shade with the background, eh ?
I love the way he says "expanding".
That's the cockney accent for you :P You'll also hear a small twang in "standing" :D
I'm terrified of visiting anywhere in the UK as I'm going to damn well expect to see men in house dresses, curlers, and speaking cockney. People in school thought I was some Gaijin japan-ophile because I watched anime, fuck that I never wanted to be a pilot in a giant robot, I wanted to be in a Monty Python sketch. Get chased down by a knight with a rubber chicken, or told to shut my gob. But no. I live in Fucking Oklahoma. Red dirt and tornadoes, cows, rodeos. Yeah this place sucks so much that people strap themselves to pissed-off bulls and see who can ride the longest without losing their hat.

@@OldSkullInn Love it :)
Anyone else remember how this came after a really dark scene when they ripped that one dude's organs out because they needed a donor?
... I love Monty Python!
...can we have your liver, then? (live organ transplants, bud)
LittleDogTurds Such a dark scene, I love it XD
Deepdarkbasement So do I, the monty python team is great at turning dark scenes into pure comedy ingeniousness!
LittleDogTurds
"wel, im sort of using it at the moment." xD
When I was 16 and they asked if I wanted to be an organ donor that was the first thing to pop into my noggin..
Whenever life gets you down Mrs Brown.
My mother was Mrs Brown. She passed away at the age of 48 from cancer when i was just 18. That was 35 years ago, but this song makes me feel better about my loss.
Cheers Monty Python 👍🦶🎪
This song was well before it’s time, and the figures and concepts are amazingly accurate for the time of the song... Plus, Eric Idle is one of the funniest and most talented men who has ever lived.
They cut off the best part:TJ: "Makes you feel sort of insignificant"JC: "Yeah.....can we have your liver, then?"TJ: "All right, you talked me into it"JC: "ERIC!!"
I really needed this song, especially right now
donating your liver ey?
me too
Noasphere the timing is perfect, the gov just passed a new law concerning organ donation so yeah I'm donating my liver :P
The entire world needs this song, RIGHT NOW !!!
My 10yr old son used to sing this song word for word some 37 yrs ago LOL
Did you ever notice that the search for intelligent life in the universe is always done with telescopes pointing away from Earth?
A man comes out of a fridge with no warning or preamble, sings a little show tune, then it's right back into the fridge with no explanation ever given. :) I love Monty Python.
A.M. there is an explanation it is to convince people to give up their livers
Well you have to admit..... that's the best analogy for life on earth within the context of the universe.
i wish eric idel lived in my fridge to give funny songs every morning
Download all his songs and put a Bluetooth speaker in your fridge.
David Wührer you are actually a genius
jayden o'donnell
Thank you :-)
i actually want to do that now
Me too. That’ll help me through the day.
R.I.P. Terry Jones and thank you very much for everything
This has been my go to bad day song for my adult life. It's made many rough days end with a laugh, as they all should. 💖
FUCKING MAKES YOU FEEL RATHER INSIGNIFICINT DOESN'T IT???? No???? well here eat more of this Salmon Mousse!
+TheBlackSheep can we have your liver then?!?
I didn't have any of the salmon mous..no, wait, I did have it. It was very good. I just wish I had had time to eat more before I fainted face down to the table.
You don't understand, I am not of this world, I AM DEATH!
Inspector Javert a mr. death @ the door.. something about the reaping? well, let him in..lol what a troupe!
I didn't even eat the salmon mousse!
I fucking hate it when Eric Idle pops out my fridge and starts singing its just like fucks sake Eric all I want is some milk.
darkstorm242 I just want to get my liver, man, stop singing.
The best song ever written.
I love this bc it describes exactly what I do when frustrated with humans: think about the things as far off from humans as possible. Space is the ultimate!

This makes me tear up and get choked up instantly. I love this song and the feeling it gives me but I’m fighting back tears every single time. Just one of those songs.
I saw this movie when I was still a child. Just watched it again tonight and this song cured my depression!
Eric Idle's character reminds me of Gene Wilder in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I learned more from this song than all of high school.
I listen to this song whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed or depressed, because it really does bring me comfort.
This song, and the movie, helped keep me alive during the most depressing point in my life. I fell out of my seat laughing during the restaurant scene. For some reason the swinging watch fob(on a large screen) sent me into a laughing fit that I couldn't stop. It was a beautifully funny touch.
1:55 One Of the most clever & beautiful key changes ever, and it's in a comedy Python song!
My family had this played at my atheist grandma's funeral.
Great idea!
***** The celebration of life, as it was. Is that not something to celebrate in itself?
***** Funerals are for those still alive. They help provide closure, and it's just nice to respect those you've lost. Nothing wrong with that.
Wonderful X

Because atheists die, too. It's a fact!
RIP Terry, you brilliant, beautiful woman.
This is exactly the song I needed to put things into perspective. Thank you all of you wonderful actors. I was lucky enough to have a mum and a dad who were permissive enough to let me see things like Monty Python in my youth, and it has definitely helped me through some tough times.
Thd scene in this movie where they cut out terry gilliams liver is one of the funniest fuckin things i have ever seen, this is without a doubt the best monty python film
"I'm using it!"
This FAR more touching than 'The Fault In Our Stars', any day of the week...
Even the title is dumb. The only fault in the stars would be where they ended up forming the environment for living organisms that grew to become self-aware.
@@davidk7529 I am confuses as to which one you are talking about
My entire school sang this.
Every day.
For more than 5 years.
And they still sing it.
And I will never forget it.
Ever. ._.
Good, you shouldn't forget it.
Enjoy the wonders of the universe, Terry. You'll be dearly missed.
This song is so brilliant, the world as a whole hasn’t yet recognized its brilliance. One day, they will. Some of us do now, that’s why we’re all here, isn’t it? Well, one day, the rest of the world will catch up. It may take several more generations, but this song will be remembered on a much larger scale later down the road. I just know it.
honestly this is one of the purest songs written by Eric idle and my favourite
I come here a couple of times a year to listen to this song.
so true it's the same for me
Whenever anyone asks me what my favorite song is, i tell them this. The last line of the song is the most reassuring line ever written in musical history (to me anyway): "So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure, how amazingly unlikely is your birth, and pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space cause there's bugger all down here on earth"
Exactly! I love that line.
Week. A couple times a week
Anybody who ever worked in a planetarium.. knows this song very well, as walk in music, or part of the show,, or walk out music.
R I P Terry Jones..
I know this has been on here for years, but I just have to pile on and say: This is an absolutely splendid, brilliant song. It's one of two of MP's best tunes (the other being "Every Sperm Is Sacred" ... both from the same movie!). It's truly Eric Idle at his very best. This song is not only outstanding musically; the whole thing is also substantially accurate. It makes me grateful to be alive, while also helping me keep everything into perspective. I just adore it.
"makes you feel kinda insignificant don't it"
Yeah, can we have your liver now?
+John Wayne yeh okay you talked me into it
+Jamie Tansley AAAAAHHHHH!!!! *screaming and blood flying*
so, can we have your liver?

R.I.P Terry Jones thanks for the laugh's.
Anyone here after hearing of Terry Jones passing away? R.I.P. man, thanks for the laughs!!!!!!!
R.I.P. Terry Jones, you will be sorely missed. And thank you for what you gave us. This is a classic piece, very well done. Terry just rocks that dress!
After 30 years of knowing the song and 15 of being a bassist it is only now that I notice how awesome the bassline in this song is!
This film was fantastic to just in a small way actually give something that you could call the meaning of life and make it the funniest thing ever
Life of Brian will always be my favorite Python film, but this one is probably their most unique movie, and holds a special place in my heart.
Thank you Terry Jones. Feb 1st 1942 - Jan 21st 2020
Better get a bucket, I'm going to throw up.
An average American teenager can get a better astronomy lesson from this song than spending a semester in a high school science class.
+Phish Munger High-school level astronomy is just terrible, for the most part.
+Phish Munger That's not true at all, lmao.
+Vagabond Zav Sadly it is.
+Phish Munger Restore Pluto's status as a planet! This is small planet discrimination.
+Phish Munger I teach 8th grade science in Texas, and there is not one thing in this song I don't teach my kids (well, except maybe that bit about CG wireframe women being impregnated by comets... ). All they have to do is be willing to PAY ATTENTION.
Amazing World of Gumball actually referenced this song by having British Planets singing a song similar to this but at a faster pace.
Rip Terry Jones, this was one of my favorite scenes of yours!
Watching, and adoring, this song, for the first time in my life, tonight. It took me 32 years of living on this Earth to know Monty Python and it totally worth it. I am totally enjoying them.
I think in my very humble opinion some of the point of the song is being missed it is after all entertainment written with humour. I am not sure that t is was written and performed for the dissection of fact checkers but more to put a smile on our faces and perhaps it was more meant to tell us not to take life or ourselves too seriously because we are in the grand scheme of things quite insignificant!
Holy Grail was my first introduction... probably when I was four or five. That movie will always hold a special place in my heart.
I love the fact that I was introduced to this song whilst doing a higher physics exam and now I LOVE IT! 😂
This has kept me humming happily during several sad times in my life.
Rip terry jones thanks for the amazing laughs
Monty Python brought us such delicious silliness. Still helping us to let go in tough times. We love you, Eric Idle, terry Jones and company ❤️
Monthy Python:
Makes the most entertaining, scientific song in history.
And use imperial units such as MPH...
I imagine saying “kilometers per hour” didn’t quite roll off the tongue as well.
@@megavidaeos Also, we're British and we still think in miles not kilometres
I sing this to my 3 year old daughter at bed time. She loves it.
I love the clever lyrics and tune. The pythons have been prophetic on more than one occasion.
Выдающийся триумвират - Джон Клиз, Эрик Айдл и Терри Джонс! Браво!!!
Безусловно, великолепные ребята!
"So......can I have your liver?"
Brilliant stuff. The Pythons are the best.
This video ignited my interest in astronomy more than any science teacher or book. Thankyou Monty Python i have found the meaning of life!
I have always loved this song. It truly humbles oneself.
I also love that the fridge door shut s both times on the beat.
They truely put effort in everything they did, and always made sure to pay attention to details. Some of the funniest bits in their films were the tiny details I would catch the 2nd or 3rd time around watching their films.
One of my favorite details was in the Holy Grail.
Sir Robin gets scared and says
"I soiled my armour I was so scared."
Then in another scene like 5-10 mins later, we see Sir Robin hiding behind a rock with everyone else.
Everyone is scared, and while King Arthur is speaking about what to do, you can hear Sir Robin quietly say in the backround. "Ive done it again"
On my second time watching the film I was like ummm. What did he do again ? It never came up so I left it alone.
Only on my 3rd time watching did I connect the dots and realized how amazingly genius they were at hidding jokes in their dialog.
I can watch their films over and over again and still find things Ive missed.
I hope your all staying safe out there
✌ ✝ ❤
So I never seen a single Monty Python movie, but I heard alot of these songs and must say....Eric Idle is amazing when it comes to singing, its like hearing Jim Dale do a Book on Tape or something its so calm so genuine, cheers to you Mr Idle! Love your work and yes I must watch a M.P sometime to experience this in full!
R.I.P. Terry Jones.
They were the greats, I never get tired of them, and love this song.
I’ve loved this song forever, but always thought of it as a quick little ditty, sung in a minute. Actually, it’s a very complex, seven stanza long, incredibly clever song full of mind blowing facts, that is written by a bloody genius! All the Python’s are/ were one of a kind, amazingly talented artists. RIP Terry Jones!
One of their very best songs.
I wish whimsical people would come out of my refrigerator and sing meaningful ditties to me every now and then.
Your refrigerator needs to be at least 32 years old. If it is at least 32 years old and no whimsical people start coming out of it to sing about the universe, then it probably means you're keeping it under poor sanitary maintenance. If your refrigerator is less than 32 years old and people DO start jumping out of it, then you should probably call the police.
***** That took a delightfully funny turn. Thanks for the laugh :)
2:31 Eric Idle bumps his head when he goes back in the fridge lol.
I always tear up at this 💜
I always come back to this video whenever life gets me down, it makes all my problems seem small :p
same :)
