This just proves that Norm has to be the luckiest guy on Earth. Eric Freakin Idle from Monty Python just comes in and plays one of his most famous songs in his music store. That would be way too surreal for anyone else lol

[@jasonsmith8300]

Is Eric Freakin Idle related to Seth Freakin Rollins 😁

[@toddflowers8052]

HOW FREAKIN' COOL IS THIS ?!!

[@davecotterell9462]

...and Puddles the Clown on rhythm guitar and whistle.....awesome!!

[@bobabreath5097]

Might be the best performance ever on the channel. Eric is a legend and the consummate performer. That song is just perfection.

[@lucabrasi5070]

Eric Idle with Puddles doing the whistling. You can’t make this stuff up. Awesome.

[@my2cents395]

Eric has been entertaining me for more than 50 years.

[@mark240862]

'From now on I want you all to call me. . Loretta'... One of the funniest lines in any film I've ever seen. A comedy legend. And I'm now smiling like a Cheshire Cat. Thanks Norm. 😂

[@bluesboy25000]

My friends and I used to sing this song and watch Life of Brian regularly. This makes me so happy. All love to Norm, Eric Idle and the whole Normans Rare Guitars crew. Hi Jen.

[@jerrybayless7677]

Monty Python was one of those things that you either loved or hated. And for those of us who joined the cult following, it was a way to laugh at the seriousness of the world and always look on the bright side of life. Life was meant to be enjoyed, not just endured. Its amazing how this man can still make me smile, just by being himself. Thanks Eric!

[@acemacgruber6593]

Encore!!!

[@bldallas]

I’m Bryan and so’s my wife!!! He is an absolute comedic genius. Very cool to learn he’s a guitar player, too! Thanks, that was awesome.

[@LekkerDops]

do people realise how legendary this actually is at Norms right now? OMG, this is amazing!!! And I was there just a couple of months prior from.Australia and bought a Gibson.

[@chrisbauer1975]

How cool is that. This is simply unbelievable!!!

[@shazam6274]

Great mini-concert you could never buy! Thank you Eric, all the gang and Norm and Jen!

[@pierheadjump]

⚓️ Thanks NRG!!! 😎 Priceless 🎶

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Eric is a great musician and a wonderfully silly sod! ;)

[@barackmycat9448]

If nothing else it`s a good message these days.

[@kitano0]

The "cool" factor of this is off the charts!

[@boco1951]

Puddlez!!!

[@jamiepallant9100]

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy! Comedy gold.

[@rylieriley]

Eric Idle is the bees knees 🥰. This song brings such visual imagery to mind 🤣. Kind of makes me feel like breaking out into a little soft shoe. As a matter of fact.... I think I will!

[@Bobbydawriter]

If there were ever a mic drop moment, this is it!🎤

[@raywitten2435]

This takes me back to the late eighties and my introduction to Monty in college :)

[@brucelong5125]

Thanks!

[@L.Scott_Music]

Thank you, thank you! I really needed this!

[@jonnybeck6723]

[@waynejones6215]

Enjoyed

[@dragonflyflutterby2952]

This is such an amazing video, it made me laugh and smile and I’m grateful to these guys for doing it, It just made my day ☕️☀️. What a great song. My husband plays this song a lot (we both have it on our phones and ipods etc) and I loved it the first time I heard it. We watch Life Of Brian, Holy Grail and Monty Python etc. Does anyone remember The Monty Python album? With I’m A Lumberjack etc? Good times 😁. Thank you to everyone involved in making this video and putting it up on KZbin. It’s so cool that the guy who sold Eric his guitar, was there. Can you imagine what an amazing and unforgettable time they must of had. If you ever need a good pick me up or just a fun song to sing (and whistle) to, this is a great one. Thank you to everyone here for posting about the video, the song and their memories. It makes this even better 😁.

[@GeriMars]

How neat! ❤️

[@RegNarnoc21]

It’s like listening to the real Eric idle…great job…

[@chrisbauer1975]

Are you kidding? This IS the real one.

[@RegNarnoc21]

@@chrisbauer1975 ya right,I don’t think the real Eric idle would be playing guitar at norms..😂😂😂

[@Maxreverse]

Outstanding!

[@jwnrocks]

Just amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@10lauset]

Totally swell. Cheers.

[@Hupaphon]

[@crashandburngaming5103]

Legend in the house. Used to watch Monty Python everyday after school in the 80’s. I have the sign “always look on the bright side of life” porcelain sign in my mancave lol.

[@davidkastin4240]

Cool. Early 70s you had to wait for Monty Python to come on at night on the wkend. I was a young teen and only had a 13 inch b/w TV.

[@SamFugarino]

My goodness, how cool. Takes me back a long time.

[@jamesseverin]

Eric is great!

[@billdehey1300]

Great song . Life of Brian is an epic movie, Hilarious 😢😅😮🎉😂

[@brianwood7237]

My kids just saw a local production of Spamalot I just had to show this to them and say 'that's the guy that wrote the song' python 4 Life

[@takayamafujiyama]

エリックの元気な・・十字架を背にしていないので安心した・・姿に感激♪。

[@snapfinger1]

Dirk McQuickly of The Rutles in Norm’s shop. All You Need Is Cash.

[@pissonguitarcenter8204]

I sold my soul Just so I could feel paid I broke my heart So I couldn't feel pain I've lost my faith Cause I can't justify the weight I've got no hope That's only for losers and fakes I'm nothing but a user and an abuser You don't wanna know what's on my mind I know I'm just a fool but I'm not fooling Not afraid to make a fool out of my self And fuck your money, fuck your fame Fuck my life I walk away And fuck I love, fuck I'm sorry For everything I ever done You can't save me You better give your self to someone else Fading, I'm just fallin' into my condition Fading, you better put your time in something else Save me but don't worry about it now You better save your fucking self I lost my mind Just so I could escape I still got time But I know it's too late I still got friends To tell me I'm OK I've still alive But I keep on testin' fate I'm nothing but a user and an abuser You don't wanna know what's on my mind I know I'm just a fool but I'm not fooling Not afraid to make a fool out of my self And fuck your money, fuck your fame Fuck my life I walk away And fuck I love, fuck I'm sorry For everything I ever done You can't save me You better give your self to someone else Fading, I'm just fallin' into my condition Fading, you better put your time in something else Save me but don't worry about it now You better save your fucking self Try just a little understand what I'm telling you I'm not what you think I started off doing the right thing Life got in the way, you don't know what to say I'm not asking why You can't save me You better give your self to someone else Fading, I'm just fallin' into my condition Fading, you better put your time in something else Save me but don't worry about it now You better save your fucking self

[@jonnybeck6723]

Man overboard!!!

[@jips123]

Ouch!

[@sampopkin]

Eric was also a close friend of George Harrison!

[@dinothebetatt6733]

Is this the original guy who sang this song? I had no idea he was still alive.

[@jimmyjawbone]

“Say No More!”

[@svbarr]

I'm tellin ya - cover charge coming soon...

[@pissonguitarcenter8204]

I got the all night laundry Mat Blues washing everything I own except my shoes I got ring around the collar and it smells like sweat A dollar in the dryer and it aint dry yet So if you wear clothes you gotta pay the dues In the all night laundry mat blues Yes you do All night laundry mat blues

[@pissonguitarcenter8204]

I got the all night laundry Mat Blues washing everything I own except my shoes I got ring around the collar and it smells like sweat FIVE DOLLARS in the dryer and it aint dry yet So if you wear clothes you gotta pay the dues In the all night laundry mat blues Yes you do All night laundry mat blues

[@philcorymusic]

Classic Song, nice one Eric and the band. You could work on collecting a few more dollars though mate at least for petrol money. :)

[@zankyalbo2208]

"I won't interrupt this song .. for a pound" ....

[@ericbgordon1575]

After this, I hope that Norm's buddies don't ever let him put himself down again. I know it's a propensity for creative people to self-deprecate, but Norman Harris has forfeited that right. The one who can coax Eric Idle into his shop for something like this has no business putting himself down.
