Summary: Monty Python in "Big Sky (?)"



  In a recent article, someone wonders why Terry Gilliam is thanked
on the "Hounds of Luv" album.  How timely - I was just listening to
the "Meteorological Mix" of "The Big Sky," and wondering if some of
the voices heard during the instrumental lull in the middle of the song
belonged to any members of Monty Python.  The phrases used and the
way they're delivered have me practically convinced that the Pythons
had something to do with it, especially these lines:

"That cloud looks like the tree at the bottom of our garden" (Palin?)
"No it doesn't" (?)
"This cloud should be removed immediately!" (Cleese?)
"That cloud looks like industrial waste" (Gilliam?)

Does anyone have any information on where these conversations came
from and who's voicing them?  (I don't have the EP or album handy, so...)
So I bit him!

"What they wanted, was a sound that could kinda hurt someone real bad-like..."
