I have riden the length and breadth of the land in search of a muso who will join me in our Court at Camelot in answering this ridiculous craic question: is there a correlation with Monty Python phrases at sessions?

Try turning the the tune to the universe song, from The Meaning of Life into a hornpipe. You know the one where the man in the pink suit emerges from the fridge and proceeds to show Mrs Brown how vast the universe is. Works a treat.
Do you think in the sixteenth century, teenage kids having seen a Shakespeare play would go quoting lines to each other such as-
Methinks the lady doth protest too much (the queen had a lisp)
or
Neither a borrower nor a lender be (or half be)
or
Avenge my death! Avenge my death!
Just a thought. Anyone care to quote some Derek and Clive?
For this quote was sung by Derek and Clive in Psalm mode (ie to a psalm chant). The "Ahhhrrrr-s*les" at the end is the equivalent of "amen". While I have heard lots of Withnail down the session, I've not heard much D & C. This I reserve for when working on the medical ward, me and a mate practice this random Derek and Clive speech process.... .....it makes for a much brighter day!!
As I was walking down the street one day
I saw a house on fire
There was man, shouting and screaming at an upper-storey window
To the crowd that was gathered there below
For he was sore afraid
Jump! You f*ck*r, jump!
Jump into this here blanket what we are holding
And you will be all right
He jumped, hit the deck, broke his f*ck*ng neck -
There was no blanket
Laugh?! We nearly sh*t!
We had not laughed so much since Grandma died
Or Auntie Mabel caught her left tit in the mangle
We are miserable sinners
Fi-i-ilthy f*ck*rs
And on the subject of quotes. A car stops at traffic lights, the window's open. A homeless guys leans at the window and asks for some change. The driver says:
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be - Shakespeare"
the homeless guy goes:
"C**t - DH Lawrence"

Oh lord.
We had a wave of MP quotes last night. Even I succumbed - haven't done that since I was 15. Very embarrassing. Don't tell anyone.
These days, it's not quite as uncool to quote Eddie Izzard.
"And then there was Achilles - the mightiest warrior in the world! Except he had an Achilles heel... oh, the irony."
Saw Troy last Friday, btw. It's great stuff.

Picking the lobsters out of Jane mansfields arse.
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Ren
