    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."

    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.

    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.

    GALAXY SONG SONGTEXT
    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 its 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 whiz
    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 there's bugger-all down here on Earth

    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 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!

    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!

      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.
