In the Broadway production, however, the jaunty tune wrapped up the show and was sung with bright, chipper lyrics. The night I saw "Spamalot," it seemed like every person walking down the sidewalk after the show was singing and whistling "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." Not one of them, including me, remembered the full song, yet the cheery, happy, optimistic refrain made even NY theatre goers, a generally jaded crowd, feel wonderful.    In “The Life of Brian,” the song definitely concludes on a sobering note.

Saab do some pretty sweet ones - how about a 340 with internet connection? p.s. that car that the Saab Museum rebuilt for the MM looks absolutely fantastic. Love the interior!  @Swade said “…before I head off to the airport to return back to Saab HQ in Trollhattan.” With all this intercontinental jet-setting, it’s not a car you need mate, it’s a plane.

The song, which was also used in the hit Broadway musical "Spamalot" is called "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." It's a happy tune with lyrics that, with any luck, will make Saab loyalists observing the events unfolding in Trollywood smile: "Some things in life are bad/They can really make you mad./Other things just make you swear and curse./When you're chewing on life's gristle,/Don't grumble, give a whistle,/And this'll help things turn out for the best."
