I Like Traffic Lights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"I Like Traffic Lights" is a song sung by Terry Jones of Monty Python on the album Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album. It is relatively long, although most of the lyrics are repetitions of the words "I like traffic lights". It is sung a capella in a monotonous, very bored, dull tone.

[edit] Analysis

After each section, the verse is repeated by backing singers, all who sound equally bored and make little or no effort to sing in time with each other. Occasionally the singer will throw in an extra "I like traffic lights" possibly indicating that he is so bored that he has forgotten how many times he has sung it.

The song ends just before the last line with a very exasperated "Oh God" but due to the nature of the lyrics it is fairly obvious what the last line would have been.
