English Summary:

Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy) is a comedic oratorio based on Monty Python's Life of Brian. It was written by former Monty Python cast member Eric Idle and collaborator John Du Prez, and commissioned by the Luminato festival.

All songs by Eric Idle and John Du Prez, unless otherwise noted.

Introit: Overture

1. "The Liberty Bell" (John Philip Sousa, arr. Du Prez)
   • After the introductory march, Palin appears in drag as "Mrs. Betty Palin"^[8] to deliver the Prologue. Du Prez's rendition of Sousa's march does not appear on the soundtrack CD for the show, released later in 2010.

Part One: Apocalypso Now

1. "Chaos and Confusion!""There Shall Be Monsters"
   • A parody of Shostakovich
3. "O God You Are So Big"
   • A reference to a line from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

Part Two: The Boy Next Door

1. "Mandy's Song"
2. "Woe Woe Woe!"
   • A doo-wop type song, including a reference to the famous Flying Circus sketch Nudge Nudge.
3. "We Love Sheep""Spiritual"
   • A spoof of "And There Were Shepherds" and "All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray" in Handel's Messiah.
   • Carol Cleveland appears here as the "Sheep Lady", with three puppet sheep.

Part Three: The Temptation of Brian

1. "Brian's Dream""What Have the Romans Ever Done For Us?"
   • This song, which starts off as a slow ballad and develops as such, but ends with an American gospel pastiche in the same vein as the preceding "Spiritual", is featured on the soundtrack CD as "I Want to Change the World".
3. "The People's Front of Judea""I Want to Be a Girl" (Idle) - sung by Idle
   • A pastiche of a copla, a type of Spanish romantic folk song.
5. "The Market Square"
6. "You're the One"
   • Orchestra is joined by a quartet of bagpipe players.
   • This song is musically similar to "Find Your Grail", from Spamalot.

Part Four: Baroque and Roll

• This section starts with a re-appearance of Palin in drag, as above.

1. "Hail to the Shoe!"
   • Spoof of "Hallelujah" from Handel's Messiah, also contains "beatboxing" by Idle.
2. "Amourdeus" (Du Prez)"The Chosen One Has Woken!"
   • A movement of "operatic sex".
4. "When They Grow Up"
5. "Take Us Home"
   • Performed in the style of a Welsh miners' choir, featuring Terry Jones as a baritone soloist.
6. "The Chosen One" (cont.)
   • Terry Gilliam interrupts the song by appearing on stage, dressed elegantly in a black tie suit and carrying a folder; he opens it, says "I'm not!" [i.e. he is not an individual] and leaves. This song is titled "Not the Messiah" on the soundtrack CD.
7. "Individuals" (Idle)
   • Performed by Idle in a Bob Dylan impersonation/parody, complete with harmonica, guitar, sunglasses, and hard-to-hear lyrics.

Part Five: Miserere Loves Company

1. "Find Your Dream""Arrested!"
   • About two thirds into this song, which includes a mariachi pastiche, Neil Innes, Jones, Gilliam and Cleveland all appear on stage dressed up as Mexicans, wearing ponchos and sombreros. (Cleveland also sports a pair of fake moustaches.) Toward the end of the number, Gilliam jumps on Cleveland and simulates an assault on her; he is retained by the other two men, which results in both Cleveland and Gilliam falling over. As the song ends, Cleveland runs off stage embarrassedly, followed by the others.
3. "A Fair Day's Work" (Idle)"The Final Song"
   • References "The Lumberjack Song"; performed by Idle
5. "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" (Idle)
   • From the original film, has the audience singing along with the soloists, narrator, orchestra and bagpipe quartet.
   • After the song, Michael Palin (who performed earlier in this section, as Pilate), appears again in a tunic and a laurel wreath, and states, as in the original Flying Circus sketch, that he did not want to be involved at all in the celebratory event which just took place, and that he wanted to be a lumberjack instead. He strips off his tunic to reveal a grey-and-red checked shirt and workman's trousers, and moves onto the encore.
6. Encore: "The Lumberjack Song" (Michael Palin/Terry Jones [lyrics]; Palin/Jones/Fred Tomlinson [music]) - sung by Palin
   • "The Lumberjack Song" is not featured on the soundtrack CD because of copyright issues. (Idle's publisher Ocean Music does not own the publishing rights to the song.)

Finale

1. Reprise of The Liberty Bell.

Hungarian Summary:

1979-ben a Monty Python csoport Brian élete című filmje a feje tetejére állította a Biblia addig ismertnek hitt históriáját. Most a Spamalot alkotói a füle tetejére állítják a komolyzenét. A Nem a messiás - Csak egy nagyon haszontalan fiú oly mókás mestermű, amely Pythonék legünnepeltebb filmjének felejthetetlen és páratlan humorát pároztatja a szimfonikus zenekari művek túlburjánzó komolykodásával. Eljött hát az alkalom, hogy mindenki megismerje ezt a kivételes, egyszeri előadást, a különleges estét, amelynek során egy színpadon állt a Python-csapat apraja s nagyja: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones és Terry Gilliam. A Brian élete ihlette "oratórium" a Monty Python alakulásának 40 éves évfordulóját volt hivatott megünnepelni. A felvétel 2009 októberében, a Royal Albert Hallban készült!
