Brian Song

Brian Song is the title song from the 1979 film Monty Pythons Life of Brian. It was released as a single in the UK on 16 November 1979 as a Double A side with Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. The song, which charts the growth of the Brian character to manhood, was composed by Andre Jacquemin and Dave Howman with lyrics by Michael Palin. It was performed by sixteen-year-old Sonia Jones with a string and brass accompaniment in the style of a John Barry film theme (the entire brass section was performed via extensive multitracking by John Du Prez). It is included on the Monty Pythons Life of Brian album and on the CD Monty Python Sings. In 2013 Martin Chilton, the Culture Editor for The Telegraph website, listed it as one of the five best Monty Python songs.In 2009, Jones re-recorded the song for the opening credits of the six-part documentary series Monty Python: Almost the Truth (Lawyers Cut), with altered lyrics referring to Python rather than Brian. Five different versions were used for the first five episodes, with Jones sounding increasingly fed up with performing the song. On the sixth and final episode she was replaced by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson.== References ==Category:Monty Python songs Category:Songs written for films Category:Songs about fictional male characters Category:Songs written by Michael Palin Category:1979 singles
