The Pythons have long acknowledged their debt to the Goons. Both groups were great in their own right.

We had the album with "Six Charlies in Search of an Author" among other stuff. Played it to death. They were so freaking funny.

Thirty years ago one of the British tabloids called Milligan "a dirty Irish poof." ("Poof" is British slang for homosexual.) Milligan sued the tabloid for calling him..."Irish".
Milligan was a veteran skirt-chaser, by the way.

Monty Python was said to be heavily influenced by "The Goons". John Cleese corrected that. He said that when MP started ( before their TV show ), they stole almost every Goons routine and that was almost all they used. It was almost the same as Eddie Murphy starting out by using only Richard Pryor routines.
