Flying Circus [ 8 bit Bitpop Chiptune ] - Tribute to John Philip Sousa

Monty Python's Flying Circus [ Bitpop Chiptune ] - Tribute to John Philip Sousa - Made with my C64 Music Driver & DAW (6 Channels)

The Liberty Bell, at the time a new composition as yet untitled, was written for Sousa's unfinished operetta The Devil's Deputy before financing for the show fell through. The march is often associated with the British TV comedy program Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969–74), which used the version performed by the Band of the Grenadier Guards as a signature tune.[9] The use of the melody by the British comedy troupe Monty Python is ironic; the bouncy melody of the march may have appealed to the troupe. Terry Gilliam, the only American member of the troupe, advocated using the theme. He has said the piece was chosen because the troupe thought it would not be associated with the program's content, and that the first bell strike and subsequent melody would give the impression of getting "straight down to business."
