Wikipedia sagt dazu: "The spoken word "Blessing" by
Michael Palin is listed on some version as track 5 on side A (the original vinyl and cassette release). On the original CD version it had its own track selection slot (making it a 10-track CD). Otherwise it was at the end of track 4 ("Stone Deaf in the U.S.A.") as a
hidden track or at the beginning of track 5 ("The Wolf"). On both of these last two versions it was uncredited on the cover."
Und bei
Genius habe ich noch die Anekdote dazu gefunden:
"This hidden ‘song’ is just Monty Python member Michael Palin reciting a prayer for the band of Motörhead in a very Monty Python-esque way.
Motörhead was recording the album in Redwood studios in London, which Palin co-owned. One of the studio engineers who had worked on the Monty Python records played the band some of the outtakes from those days. Palin was subsequently asked to come down and do a recitation for the album and showed up dressed in a 1940s cricketer outfit — V-necked sweater, his hair all brushed to one side. Lemmy, a big Monty Python, then asked him if he remembered the speech from the film
The Meaning of Life, which began with the words
Oh Lord. Palin replied saying “
Ah! Give me some cathedral!” and recorded this speech."
