Bonzo Dog band Hunting Tigers with Lyrics

[@allison9090]

My older brother's favorite song. He was 80 years old.

[@montyzumazoom1337]

The story goes that they were touring America when their van/bus got stopped by a traffic patrol officer . After some lengthy questioning Vivian stanshall got fed up with the constant questions, such as “are you carrying guns”. To which the reply was negative. The officer then asked loudly “well how are you intend to defend yourselves”. Viv stanshall’s response was a curt “with good manners”! Wonderful

[@TheLadrowski]

Excellent answer.

[@tattyshoesshigure5731]

The Bonzo's really were an absolute joy... total originals who were not only hilariously funny, but great musicians too.

[@georgepointer1127]

But you can't hunt tigers with lyrics,you would need a gun for that.

I think it was Terry Jones and Michael Palin who were on "Do not adjust your set". Palin I think it was that said of course there was the Bonzo Band. They were really out there. Completely avant-garde. When a Python calls you out there, you really are. Gorilla remains one of my favourite albums. Kind of difficult when Spotify delivers them up as a single song out of context and I say to my kids, listen to this it's brilliant. Dads lost it ...

[@wbahoppo8728]

Absolutely Brilliant.Remember rushing back to Uni common room to watch "Do Not Adjust Your Set" every Thursday at 5.25 pm in 1968 just for the Bonzos and David Jason

[@peterb.1653]

Saw them in Bromley on New Years Eve maybe 68. They were out of it. All good stuff. Can’t imagine hearing The Strain on radio now.....

[@mzmadmike]

RIP Neil Innes. You twisted genius.

[@vincemacek681]

My brother's college roommate was a looney, and possibly a werewolf, and had this record, where I first was exposed to these fellows.

[@krisscanlon4051]

Wow they changed the arrangements! I love the bonzo's I always go back to them they crack me up. It's such an inside-outside joke with them. They're actually great musicians there's always that Darkness Underneath It All I love it

​@@PaulFormentosTell that to Vivian's 3 children who he helped raise. James' fair complexion and light features and hair comes from Linda. Yes she was blonde as a child too just like her son. He was blonde as a kid. As blonde as one can get. Lol. You only get your "research" from mucking around these tinfoil hat sites. Go actually do research outside of these sites on your own. Paul was heavily involved in the underground beat/socialite's kids then turned swinging London hippies, the whole scene the Ashers turned him on to in 65 and so most of Paul's friends had shops and pubs on Carnaby street who including himself all hung out there regularly in the backrooms sharing pre-hippie beat-like ideals and sharing its art and culture and concepts from 65 onward. The people Paul hung out with were mostly all like Vivian. There were a thousand less talented Vivians. Artists and provocateurs. That's how he met him. ****Anyways like I said try telling Vivian's 3 children he was "Faul". Vivian who helped raise them and who they saw all the time. Rupert from his first marriage and Silky from his second (and Ki had another daughter from a previous relationship)**** The 6 foot 4 tall man with the sinewy tall lanky frame (every picture with his shirt off 100 % proves my point) being the exact opposite body type of "Faul". And don't give me that was a "Street Vivian". You should hear yourselves when you say stuff like that. Mike Williams from Sage Of Quay is an insane person or a scammer. Those are your choices. His choices too if he ever does any self reflection some day. Rule of thumb: any conspiracy that needs multiple doubles is a very weak conspiracy indeed. The world doesn't actually work like the that. The logistics of which sounds like it is coming from a 13 year old's imagination. ====== Paul has the same scar on his lip to this day since his famous ***December 26th 1965 moped accident*** which has naturally changed over a lifetime. A plastic surgeon would have had to cut deep and rip open "Faul's lip in 1966 and we know that didn't happen as we would've noticed how deep and fresh it was. Like it was in 1965 again. Placing scars on lips to last a lifetime which changes over time (which it did) is not like putting on a never changing Lego piece. ****And there is the little matter of your so called lookalike who needed plastic surgery to look more like Paul (according to all the varying logistically impossible fantasies) yet somehow has a son James in 1977 with the***same droopy eyes, raised eyebrows and exact chin as 1963 Paul***And then when James becomes an older man is a doppelganger to Paul's brother Michael. Lol****Mary and Stella look like original Paul too. Oh and Paul's ***"Granny"*** music as John liked to call it picks up at times in the 70s. His dad's music hall influences growing up (he even records his dad's only song and gives it to him in the 70's as a present). His dad at Paul's 1969 small private wedding. Michael and Paul way in the background going to lunch not even knowing they are in the shot in Get Back ****Paul buying that Scotland farm on June 17, 1966, etc**** ==== He only got better at bass from 1966 onward because the times and music called for more complicated riffs. ***And you are comparing a baby fat faced Paul at 22 to a Paul with no baby fat on his face in his mid then to late 20s. Also his style and facial hair changed as so did the rest of our culture did from 66 onward*** ***And saying Paul is shorter than Faul is borderline retarded. Every single photo that these tin foil hat sites bring forward are forced perspective illusion photos which is a natural phenomenon when people are standing beside each other and one is standing slightly in front of each other. Take a photography course sometime as it happens every day*** ****I almost get the feeling these tinfoil hat sites prey on people incapable of critical thinking convincing them that they can, convincing the easily fooled that everyone else are the unthinking sheep*** Do you really think they and all his friends and family are that stupid to call him Billy whenever cameras are around? It's part their dry British humor. But mostly their nickname for him since the early 60s when he would sign them into hotels and recording sessions as Billy Martin. The Beatles and their opportunistic record company has been exploiting this 1966 college kids' fantasy since 1967. You go into these sites and think you are doing research. Go learn about the Beatles. Listen to their music. There is no difference in his voice nor his creative voice and musical ability other than growing exponentially between 1962-1970. And the whole Tavistock thing. I can give you a paragraph by paragraph debunking of its original book that started the whole Tavistock conspiracy. Giving you the exact books it is copied and pasted from and how the author changed the citations of who said what. The whole foundation of the theory is a fraud. I can send that over to you. If you respond TLDR I give you my bored yawn now.

it was from a bbc children's show called 'do not adjust your sets'...two or three of 'monty pythons' also appeared each week in sketches.

Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Jones (here) were part of the DNAYS cast, before Python was formed. Not a children's show though.

[@tomleader7054]

It most certainly was.

[@tomleader7054]

@@creamwobbly There was a lot about DNAYS that would not be considered suitable for children, but that is what was so great about it. Who wants to be treated as a child? Without looking it up I don't know what time it went out at but in my memory it was soon after getting home from school. So, before the six o'clock news, which was the children's TV time. Post afternoon racing and up to six was kids time.
