I firat encountered this mistranscription in DEC's internal Notes conferences in 1989. Thankfully, idiots across the world have kept copies.
The sketch was originally performed by Peter Sellers, some time in the 1950s, and was on the "Best of Sellers" Album released in about 1961.

Just about anything from Monty Python was done earlier, and better, on the Goon Show with Sellers, Spike Mulligan, etc.
The catch is: the Goon Show was a radio program.

Ooo, he links to Peta.
Let's all go naked, cover ourselves in pig blood, and stand outside department stores looking for people wearing fur so we can rub the blood all over them. Then we can put up a huge billboard with a picture of a cooked human baby and a happy family eating it, making sure that it's so disgusting it'll cause traffic accidents.
Get a grip, man, PETA is a joke. The more THEY say eating meat is bad, the more meat I will eat. That's a huge virtual middle finger to you.
Remember what Maddox says:

Comment of the year
In Peter Sellers's "Balham, Gateway to the South", he goes to a cafe where everything is off. Maybe the OP is thinking of that.
It's worth noting that the point of the Spam sketch is that it's merely a pastiche of British cafes, where everything comes with chips. "Sausage, egg, chips", "Sausage, bacon, egg, chips", etc.
I'm pretty sure you don't know. Which track is it on this collection of nearly all Sellers' recorded works, for example?
As another poster points out, the pythons performed all their own material in the TV shows, using other writers or borrowing other material only rarely in other projects.
Do you have a reputable reference for this?
This could be a great advertising opportunity for them, better still they could hook into the who email thing with add-lines like "... the only Spam I like is the real Spam in a can, say NO to unsolicited email"; and no doubt better lines, making email spam a bonus to them instead of a curse.
in my life God comes first.... but Linux is pretty high after that
