40 Years of Monty Python

"I'm a Lumberjack, and I'm O.K."
The Pythons produced 45 episodes over four seasons. For the famed lumberjack song, above, a barber, played by Michael Palin, sings of his love for the outdoors and cross-dressing. As he sings (with gusto) about his enthusiasm for, among other things, wearing "high heels, suspenders and a bra," the Mounties chorus accompanying him grows befuddled, ultimately walking off in confusion and disgust.
