Monty Python Sings is a compilation album of comedy songs by the Monty Python team. Released in 1989 to celebrate their 20th anniversary, it contains popular songs from their previous albums and films.

The album contained two previously unreleased tracks; "Oliver Cromwell" (first performed by John Cleese on the 1960s radio series I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again) was recorded during sessions for Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album in 1980 while a studio recording of Terry Gilliam's live standard "I've Got Two Legs" was recorded in 1974 for the Drury Lane shows, where it was to be mimed onstage, but discarded once Gilliam decided to perform it live instead. The album also has a longer version of "Medical Love Song" with added instrumentation and previously unheard verses which mix out Eric Idle's guide vocals and push Graham Chapman's lead vocal to the forefront. The remixes of "Sit On My Face" and the extended "Henry Kissinger" from The Final Rip Off were also used as well as a new mix of Bruces' Philosophers Song (Bruces' Song) and a remix of the 1975 George Harrison-produced single version of "The Lumberjack Song", with some alternate vocal takes. This was the first compilation to include tracks from the Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life soundtracks, albeit in remixed form. "Every Sperm Is Sacred" is the extended version, previously only available on the b-side of the 7" single of "Galaxy Song".
