Every Sperm is Sacred

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Every Sperm is Sacred is a song from the movie Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, later released on the album Monty Python Sings. Michael Palin and Terry Jones wrote and performed the sketch and the lyrics.

The song is a savage satire of Catholic teachings on reproduction which forbid contraception by artificial means.

The sketch is about a man (Dad, played by Michael Palin), his wife (Mum, played by Terry Jones) and their many children. When their children ask why they don't use contraception or sterilization, Dad explains that this is against God's wishes, and breaks into song:

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm gets wasted
God gets quite irate.


The production in The Meaning of Life is quite visually elaborate, choreographed by Arlene Phillips to a storyboard by director Terry Jones.
