"Sit on My Face" is a short song by the members of the comedy troupe

The Fred Tomlinson Singers singing "Sit on my face and tell me that you love me." The remaining lyrics contain numerous references to fellatio and cunnilingus, such as "when I'm between your thighs you blow me away" and "life can be fine if we both 69
".

The song opened the 1982 film

2014 reunion shows
where it accompanied a suggestive dance routine by the 20-strong dance ensemble, with Eric Idle and Michael Palin encouraging an audience singalong.

Legal issues

The owners of "Sing as We Go" threatened to sue Monty Python for copyright infringement, but the Pythons released the song anyway.

The US

US$9,200 for playing the song.[4][5]

French adaptation

A French language rendition of the song presented in Edinburgh in 2003 translated the title as "Cum in My Mouth". According to producer Rémy Renoux, "Cum in My Mouth is … what Monty Python would have written today." Renoux also pointed out that a literal translation into French would not fit the melody of the song, and claimed that the translation met with the approval of the Monty Python team.[6]
