Coconut Orchestra



Guinness World Record™ officials certified that 1,789 people participated in the “World’s Largest Coconut Orchestra.”

Patrons and visiting fans of the Broadway musical Spamalot were given free coconuts and asked to clop along to a rendition of “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.”

Christopher Sieber, who stars in the show, explained the use of the clacking coconuts: "Originally when they did the movie (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) they couldn't afford horses.”

“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” (from The Life of Brian) is guaranteed to cheer me up on a bad day. Turn on your speakers and join me in a singalong.

Infomaniac’s favourite bit of the song…
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
