This song was eventually released in 2006 as a bonus track, billed as ademo version.

Fun, but not the end of the world had they remained lost.

Another track,Mrs.

Eventually they confuse themselves so deeply that they return to taking more quaaludes.

This sketch was eventually released as an unlockable element to theMeaning of LifeCD video game released in 1997.

This, along with Ottos other scenes, were eventually released as a bonus feature on theLife of BrianDVD.

Olympic Shopping, an Idle-led track, has remained completely unreleased.

In it, Idle reports on a team of Olympic hopefuls in the realm of shopping.

He speaks with their coach (Palin) and asks what he is most afraid of.

Palin replies my girlfriends husband before catching himself.
