John Cleese met Bill Oddie at Cambridge where they were both members of the amateur theater group, the Cambridge Footlights. They performed together on the comedy revue Cambridge Circus and the radio comedy program I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again. They were also writers together on David Frost's That Was the Week That Was. Bill Oddie was mostly known for his parody songs that got a lot of play on I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again. They were collected on an album for the show, but some found their way onto his debut album Distinctly Oddie released in 1967 on Polydor Records.
