[edit] Mike Berry
Are you sure that's Mike Berry singing on "Here Comes Another One"? Sounds an awful lot like Cleese singing that to me. 23skidoo 20:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- What? You've gotta be kidding. It's obviously Terry Jones in all of the versions, with the exception of the Country/Western version, which I maintain is Graham Chapman, who's the only Python who could do a decent Southern accent. :) Williamnilly 03:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- A Google search has failed to substantiate Berry's involvement (beyond Wiki-mirrors). Is Berry credited on the album at all? Otherwise I'm still pretty convinced that it's Cleese. 23skidoo 18:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have always maintained that it's Cleese on that and "A Scottish Farewell", but I no longer have a copy by which to verify. In addition, I'm a little confused by the credits: I gather the names listed in the "Track listing" are writers credits, and there is no actual performer attribution other than the "Performers" section? Could these be combined and organized by sketch/song title with a brief description of each, writing and performing credits? For instance, "Bookshop" may have been written by Chapman and Cleese, but the customer sounds like Terry Jones. Canonblack 22:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Another piece of evidence in support of Cleese is the fact that this is a Monty Python album -- so why would a non-Python be featured as the main vocalist on not one but two tracks? (Neil Innes being an obvious exception). 23skidoo 23:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
