Monty Python Sings is a compilation album of songs by English comedy troupe Monty Python. Released in 1989 to celebrate their 20th anniversary, it contains popular songs from their previous albums and films. The album was dedicated to the memory of founding member Graham Chapman, who died two months before its release.

The album contained two previously unreleased tracks: `Oliver Cromwell` (originally performed by John Cleese on the 1960s radio series I`m Sorry, I`ll Read That Again) was recorded during sessions for Monty Python`s Contractual Obligation Album in 1980, while a studio recording of Terry Gilliam`s live standard `I`ve Got Two Legs` was recorded in 1974 for the Drury Lane shows, where it was to be mimed onstage, but discarded once Gilliam decided to perform it live instead. The album also has a longer version of `Medical Love Song,` with added instrumentation and previously unheard verses which mix out Eric Idle`s guide vocals and push Graham Chapman`s lead vocal to the forefront. The remixes of `Sit on My Face` and the extended `Henry Kissinger` from The Final Rip Off were also used, as well as a new mix of `Bruces` Philosophers Song (Bruces` Song)` and a remix of the 1975 George Harrison-produced single version of `The Lumberjack Song`, featuring some alternate vocal takes. This was the first compilation to include tracks from the Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life soundtracks, albeit in remixed form. `Every Sperm Is Sacred` is the extended version, previously only available on the B-side of the 7-inch single of `Galaxy Song`.

Artwork
The cover design by Terry Gilliam marked his first original album artwork since 1977`s Instant Record Collection. The original vinyl release contained a booklet featuring illustrated lyrics to all the songs.
