Monty Python question

Post by Sriad »

In that short where the guy is playing the mouse xylophone with mallets, what's the tune he's humming? This has been driving me nuts.

"Three Blind Mice," of course. :D

At least, in one of the versions. I know there are at least 2, and I can't remember what the other song is in the other one, because I'm pretty sure the songs change. I want to say "The Bells of St. Mary" but I totally could be pulling that right out of my ass.

I think it IS The Bells of St. Mary, according to the announcer.

As far as I remember there were two versions: One on the series (Three Blind Mice) and one in And Now For Something Completely Different.

Yeah, that's what I thought too, but it's been such a long time since I've seen either that I couldn't remember if I was making up the song titles or not.
