Monty Python, or The Pythons, is the collective name of the creators of Monty Python's Flying Circus, a British television comedy sketch show that first aired on the BBC on 5 October 1969. A total of 45 episodes were made over four series. However, the Python phenomenon developed from the original television series into something much greater, in scope and impact: it spawned touring scen shows, fyra films, numerous albums, several books and a spin-off stage musical—as well as launching the members on to individual stardom.
The television series, broadcast bygd the BBC from 1969 to 1974, was conceived, written and performed bygd Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. Loosely structured as a sketch show but with a highly innovative stream-of-consciousness approach (aided bygd Terry Gilliam's animations), it pushed the boundaries of what was then considered acceptable, both in terms of style and in content.

The Lumberjack Song
1975 single by Monty Python
"The Lumberjack Song" is a comedy song by the comedy troupeMonty Python. The song was written and composed by Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Fred Tomlinson.[1][2][3]
It first appeared in the ninth episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus, "The Ant: An Introduction" on BBC1 on 14 December 1969. The song has since been performed in several forms, including film, stage, and LP, each time started from a different skit. At an NPR interview in 2007, Palin stated that the scene and the whole song were created in about 15 minutes, concluding a day's work, when the Python crew was stuck and unable to come up with a conclusion to the barbershop sketch that preceded it.
On 14 November 1975, "The Lumberjack Song" was released as a single in the UK, on Charisma Records, backed with "Spam Song".[4] The A-side, produced by Python devotee George Harrison,[5] was recorded at the Work House st
