Hello,

well, being a Monty Python fan and an Austrian girl, I always love it when the Pythons speak in German, they have even made an episode completely in my language for the Austrian and German television.

But I was very impressed that Michael Palin still does remember his lines pretty well, especially of the lumberjack song... have a look at these three links and listen:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE1q0UDZD2U - the "Lumberjack" song in german

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=397V9lOVXrc - Michael Palin sings in German in a documentary for the movie "A Fish Called Wanda" (in the year I was born, 1988)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sICbk484TQ8 January 1997 - an interview with Michael, again he sings the song at the end of the interview.

Love,

Enjoy!

Btw I found this article as well... i always wondered if any of the Pythons - except for John Cleese whom I have met - has ever been to my little country:

British globe-trotter MICHAEL PALIN first began travelling to foreign lands to find girls who would sleep with him.

The former MONTY PYTHON funnyman - who has made a series of acclaimed travel documentaries including AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS - first left Britain when he was 19 and travelled to Austria with a gang of his Oxford University pals.

He recalls, "At the time I was sex mad so you can imagine what kind of holiday it was."
