Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
From 'The Lumberjack Song' to 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,' the Songbook collects the cream of the Python team's musical output, from the four TV series and the various feature films. Includes the original songs from The Holy Grail, basis for the musical Spamalot. Arranged with music for the piano and accompanied by Terry Gilliam's incomparable cartoons.

This book far disappointed me as a music/piano book. This book contains only melody lines with no accompaniment, except for chords above the melody lines. And to make matters worse, the music is not on solid colored paper, but on different colored paper with images superimposed on it.
I'm surprised at how people liked this book, because unless you play guitar, or just want to plunk out a melody with cheesy block chords, it's not worth the money.

This book is filled with lots of hillarious song lyrics, ranging from the witty to the weird and silly and is useful if you feel the need to sing along to some of your favourite Python songs while listening to a Python* CD, especially when you come across parts where it is difficult to understand what they are singing. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend buying this book. The artwork is interesting**, but is not worthwhile in itself, and just reading the lyrics is less rewarding than listening to the songs. And none of the songs are new. So if you just like LISTENING to Python CDs and don't feel the need to join in***, there is no point in buying the book. Furthermore, if you want it for playing the songs on the piano, as some of the other reviewers point out, it is often difficult to read, and it is also impossible to prop up properly without causing some damage to the spine (of course if you don't care, you could just cut out the pages, etc.).
*Not recommended for singing along to death metal bands...

Wow. I have the big box set of Monty Python's Flying circus, and had basically memorized all of the songs. I also have most of the movies. So finding this little jewel was a real treat! Now I can play them on my trusty piano, and have the background music. This will make for some weird family reunions :)

This is a book for every Monty Python fan out there! It is really excellent, and includes almost all the songs, excluding a few of the lesser ones like "Sgnt Duckie's Song" and "The Window Cleaner Song" but just about everything else is in there. Admittedly, it's a bit annoying about some of the music being illigeble, such as "Eric the Half A Bee" appearing in a sphere shape, and "Bing Tiddle Tiddle Bong" being flipped totally around. However, it's still a great book, and the foreword, afterword, and middleword by Elvis and God are very funny. There's nothing better than to sit down at the piano sometimes and just play magnificent songs like "I've got a Ferret sticking up my nose..." This is a super book!
