Musical Mice is a sketch that appears in "Sex and Violence," the second episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. It also appears in And Now for Something Completely Different.

Synopsis[]

A compère (Michael Palin) introduces Arthur Ewing (Terry Jones) and his musical mice.

Ewing presents his mice that he has arranged as an organ and begins playing "The Bells of St. Mary's." He begins beating the mice with mallets whilst humming with the audience being appalled and beg him to stop until he is dragged off the stage.

In the movie version, he plays "Three Blind White Mice" instead of "The Bells of St. Mary's."
