Dudley Moore/Eric Idle - "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life "/An audience

After the cat mouse:
Fans of Sweden's "Hammarby" sent "greetings" to fans of "Djurgården". Both teams are based in Stockholm and remain each other's most principled rivals.

"Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life"
Released: 1979
Album: Monty Python's Life of Brian
Artist: Monty Python
Lyrics
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle…
"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" was arranged and conducted by John Altman and recorded at Chappell's Studio with a full orchestra and the Fred Tomlinson Singers. The whistling was performed by Neil Innes. The song appeared on the film soundtrack album, listed as "Look on the Bright Side of Life (All Things Dull and Ugly)". The subtitle does not appear in the actual song, and is only used on the soundtrack album. "All Things Dull and Ugly" was also the title of an unrelated track on Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album (released the following year) which is a parody of the popular hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful". The song was also released as a Double A side single with "Brian", the film's opening theme (performed by Sonia Jones).

The song touched a chord with the British trait of stoicism and the "stiff upper lip" in the face of disaster, and became immensely popular. When the destroyer HMS Sheffield was struck by an Exocet anti-ship missile on 4 May 1982 in the Falklands War, her crew sang it while waiting to be rescued from their sinking ship, as did the crew of HMS Coventry.

When 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.
