The meaning of life comes down to the alienating fact that people aren't wearing enough hats.

[rpark]

Quick, get the machine that goes BING!!!

[yaboimccoy]

Is it bad I’d want this song played at my funeral?

[SylvesterFox]

I'm going through one of those existential crises where I'm constantly thinking about all the questions in these lyrics to the point of anxiety, but hearing them humorously sung to an upbeat tune makes me feel ever so slightly better.

[SafetyMentalst]

For a life time it may never be found
How life is meant to be is all around
Life comes from an returns to ground
To the meaning of life we are bound
In every heart mind an soul it's found

[mikeytrains]

If Eric Idle went on tour, he should perform this one song.

[samuelbarber]

The Meaning of Life is 42. It will all make sense when we figure out what the actual question we’re asking is

[Frazzled_V]

the meaning of life is to find the fish.

[DrDespicable]

Wait a minute - is it that French waiter who's supposed to be singing this...? Sacre bleu!

[ConnerLorenzCartoonSketches]

Eric Idle is the best musical comedian of all time.

[beavinator]

Nice to hear the song without the sound effects from the movie sequence.

[Anne-mzcj]

As a French, i'm always so confused to hear my language in a song ^^ I wish the Monty Python made a world tour, i would definitely go

[thomasdbrady]

Thank you for putting this all together. Both funny and thought provoking. God? Bless Monty Python. More specifically Eric for his song writing. Definitely the 5th beatle lol

[jippalippa]

My favourite python movie.
Love the others of course, but there's something special about the meaning of life.

[markcumbriauk]

I've always loved these films, and the theme tunes.

[hanakodickinson]

This brings back many, many fond memories ❤️

[FredAlert]

Try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and again, get some walking in and try living in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

[Uetti]

Did anybody else noticed that this song sounds a lot like (Just Like) Starting Over by John Lennon? I just noticed now. We all know that Eric Idle was a big Beatles fan...

[bluenimbus]

The greatest thing about Monty Python will always be the philosophy. The meaning of life is, of course, to simply be born to die. We are nothing and we will have nothing by the end. Such a satirical existence we observe in this little simulation. It sure is enjoyable, though, when you have songs like this to accompany our one big joke to the end.

[johnrutledge]

as I approach the ending, this song makes more and more ... I suppose sense ...
