BARRY COURTER: Lisa, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam … feel free to sing along if you know the words. Spam, Spam …
LISA DENTON: Silence, foul temptress.
You know I’m kidding. Any song sung by Monty Python’s Flying Circus – or Vikings, for that matter – is a hit with me. It’s not my favorite ditty of theirs, but I probably shouldn’t mention the one I prefer.
BARRY: I know the one, and it is funny. Rude, but funny. In the interest of full disclosure, I spent my teen years in full Monty Python geek mode and can likely still recite nearly every line from “The Life of Brian” and “The Holy Grail.”
That’s why I am kind of excited that “Spamalot” is at Memorial Auditorium on Thursday. Just thinking of the French taunter threatening to “blow my nose on you, so-called Arthur-king, you and your silly English k…kaniggets” makes me laugh.
