Nearly all of the releases by comedy group Monty Python have musical bits. There’s little consistency to whether those have been tagged as “spokenword” or not. Is there any consensus here on whether mostly-but-not-exclusively spoken comedy records should use this secondary type?

I think I’d probably use spokenword if the spoken bits are the main part of the sketches?

So majority spoken => spokenword ? Seems reasonable enough. The records range from almost entirely sketches to maybe 60-40 sketches vs musical numbers. The exceptions are the Contractual Obligation album, which is maybe 60-70 percent musical, and the compilation Monty Python Sings which as you’d expect is all music.
