World's Largest Orchestra…of coconuts!

April 24, 2007

Okay...not quite classical, perhaps. But it's a lot of fun.

The Monty Python gang, in a shameless bit of promotion for their musical Spamalot, got together 5,567 of the Python faithful in Trafalgar Square to set a world record for the largest orchestra of coconuts ever assembled.

If you aren't aquainted with the "Knights Who Say Ni," find a copy of Monty Python and the Holy Grail and pay special attention to the horses the Knights are riding (or not).

Of course video from the event is on YouTube.
