That one conversation with the peasants in Monty Python and The Holy Grail, but make it the early part of Kamoshida’s palace.

Monty Python - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life 1979

"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is a comedy song written by Monty Python member Eric Idle that was first featured in the film Monty Python's Life of Brian and has gone on to become a common singalong at public events such as football matches as well as funerals. Written in the British music hall tradition, the song touches on stoicism and the "stiff upper lip" spirit in the face of adversity, so often associated with British people. It became immensely popular, and although while failing to chart on its first releases in 1979 and 1988, it reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1991. Idle performed the song live to a global audience at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony during the one-hour symphony of British Music segment.

The song appears at the end of the film. The lead character Brian Cohen (played by Graham Chapman) has been crucified for his part in a kidnap plot. After a succession of apparent rescue opportunities all come to nothing, a character on a nearby cross (played by Eric Idle) attempts to cheer him up by singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". As the song progresses, many of the other crucifixion victims begin to dance in a very restricted way and join in with the song's whistled hook.

Life of Brian's themes of religious satire were controversial at the time of its release, drawing accusations of blasphemy and protests from some religious groups. In the UK, the film was given an AA (14) rating by the British Board of Film Classification, though 11 local councils outright banned the film, while a further 28 raised the rating from AA to X across their jurisdictions. Some countries, including Ireland and Norway, banned its showing; and, in a few of these, such as Italy, bans lasted over a decade. The filmmakers used the notoriety to promote the film, with posters in Sweden reading, "So funny it was banned in Norway!" The film was a box office success. It was the fourth highest-grossing film in the UK in 1979 and the highest-grossing of any British film in the US that year. It has remained popular and has been named as the greatest comedy film of all time by several magazines and television networks, and it later received a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In a 2006 Channel 4 poll, Life of Brian was ranked first on their list of the 50 Greatest Comedy Films.

When Graham Chapman died on 4 October 1989, the five remaining Pythons, as well as Chapman's close friends and family, came together at his public memorial service to sing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" as part of Idle's eulogy. In 2005, a survey by Music Choice showed that it was the third-most popular song Britons would like played at their funerals. By 2014, it was the most popular.

"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" received a total of 80,4% yes votes!
