Tim Minchin is hilarious. I love the way he draws out the joke by spelling it then completely upending your expectations. And then playing around with rhymes. Just great stuff.
Great little bonus. :)
Tim Minchin is sublime, maybe I'm a biased Aussie, but I think he's the best musical comedian ever.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Tim is amazing, he is really such a nice guy and ridiculously talented, but he's also so original and interesting. I love the difference between the song 'White Wine In The Sun' which he wrote for his baby daughter, and 'Lullaby' which he wrote when he had his baby son. Hilarious. Consider doing a Tim week though, it'll be well received I'm sure. Thanks for another great reaction guys.

@@TheThamesmen I agree with tou on comedy and music. "Axis of awesome" and their "4 chord song" is another great Aussie song that's clever with a good giggle I know u lads will love. Readily avail on TH-cam. Cheers 👍🏼
It's amazing that the same guy wrote and released the pope song and my favourite the beautiful Carry you
@@peterdubois65 smart man for sure
@@TheThamesmen how about a post where we can suggest our 5 picks for Tim week?
Oh now this rabbit hole is deeeep. So many great songs..Tim is intelligent, clever and sooo funny and with a social conscience. Oh and is amazing on a piano and has written music for Tony and Oliver winning musicals.
Thankyou God,
Storm,
The Pope Song,
Lullaby,
If I Didn't Have You,
All fantastic.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
He is a genius. And an amazing pianist.

Brilliance.
Aussie week continues in a subtle way.

LoveTim Minchin. He is so talented and so smart.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Note that the lighting on the piano changes from blue to red the second that "word" is mentioned! The xmas song is "White Wine in the Sun" ('cos xmas is in Summer here in Oz).
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
On his last tour there was a delay restarting after the intermission and Tim came to the front of the stage and talked to me about my t-shirt which I'd had printed specially - one of the greatest moments of my life. Whole concert was amazing.
Such a talented guy, I’d also recommend ’Thank You God’ as it’s genius.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
And if course it absolutely is about the other word. He’s so clever. If you listen to lullaby it’s absolutely brilliant especially the change in the music. So many good ones!
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Of course it’s a clever use of safe comedic metaphor but the song is absolutely about the other word. Ironically it’s one of Tim’s least favourite songs. He says he wrote it on the toilet 😆 He’s definitely a very clever man! Some good ones are Storm, Dark Side, If I didn’t have you, Rock n Roll nerd .. so many..
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
The other word also being an anagram of ginger?
@@cottawalla yup
@@cottawalla yes I think that’s pretty clear 😉
Oh goody Kap, he’s not picking on the colour of my hair lol. Only good thing about being a ranger, I’m late 60s, still not completely grey, it just fades slower 😊 Brilliant written and performed by Tim - the words behind the words 👍
Love Tim. Not only is he ridiculously talented but he is a really genuine nice, polite and humble guy! He treats all those he works with or meets with great respect and warmth.
He does look like he is one of the good guys. Hope to follow him more soon
Tim is one of the most clever lyricists we have produced. Very under-rated. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Hey guys I love that you checked out Tim’s stuff! He’s so talented. I’ve seen him live a couple of time and it is always a great show.
Other great Tim songs are:
White wine in the sun
Not perfect
Thank you god
The Pope song
Lullaby
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Love Tim and pretty much everything he does-Thanks for this! Also, thanks for the Hippopotamus Song-I didnt think I knew it, but when they got to the “mud mud glorious mud” part, I realized my mom played it for me way back when. A lovely memory, previously forgotten, so thank you for that. 🌺
Glad you liked it. Happy
Memories from the past too
Haha! Tim is great and loved the Flanders and Swan song bonus you did. The Gnu song is a favourite
Another great Aussie talent. He is very talented and has won the major prize at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Tim has many funny songs on the system.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
I did not expect to like this. How wrong I was! This was friggin brilliant! Going to look up more of his vids! Thanks guys and get well, Alex!
Hi G. Alex here. Covid bed ridden. Hope your healthier again. Be well.
@@TheThamesmen Yeah, George mentioned it on Patreon. Hang in there and feel better soon. We need you back!
@@SpartanGuy83 Sounds like he is recovering so hope to get back to more videos soon
@@TheThamesmen that's great news!
Try Pope next
Bonus song was great🤣 i remember singing parts of this as a child

His Christmas song is White Wine in the Sun. Another great song of his is Not Perfect.

🤣🤣🤣 aren't all from England I'm crying 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤣
I stayed to the end and loved it.
Perfect. Thank you for the support
Ooooooh, a whole Tim week. Fantastic idea! 😊
Right?! Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Stephen Lynch is my favourite singing comedian. Probably his best and most offensive song is Special Olympics (probably not YT safe these days).
I Recommend: Lullaby, Craig, Beelz, Talk to Me, Hallelujah, Baby, Gerbil
We are NOT safe for YT!
Love the Flanders and Swann reference. My Dad has a couple of their vinyl albums and I grew up listening to The Gnu, Transport of Delight, My Horoscope and so many more. Those two were a treasure.
Tim is a musical comedy genius
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️

Thanks for listening...Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Glorious mud.. great fun
Good clean fun!
Congratulations on finding the brilliance of Tim Minchin. He represents the best of modern Australian musical irreverence. You guys really also need to explore some modern Aboriginal music Gurrumal is a great start. There is some really fabulous, and uniquely Australian threads to pull on here.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Three great things that no one mentions about this sone. The Hands when he says what the name of the song is, the mood lights changing from blue to red, and the great kick drum sound he gets from his foot.
Bit of nostalgia there. Loved the Russian…. Bloody clever, those two.
If you want to see Tim go mad on the piano check out Dark side the awesome version. For brilliant word play his 9 minute beat poem Storm. For laughs confessions, inflatable you, three minute song. And please check out some of his serious music. I'll take lonely tonight and Carry you are beautiful songs
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Storm. its an ingenious beat poem!
also Dark Side (Awesome Version) is a must for his musically comedic masterpiece! must be the awesome version though. Great reaction fellas!! You did Tim justice!
Will check it out!!
Definitely do ‘White Wine in the Sun’, closely followed by ‘Lullaby’. I think any parent would ‘get’ both of them.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Of course the irony is that in Australia no-one would call a ginger, ginger. Gingers are called Bluey.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Lovely. Tim is great. Old stuff ! Ha Ha, Wonderful.
Thanks so much for sharing
Dark Side (Awesome Version), is the height of his technical genius on the piano, and a bloody amazing experience all around. I am probably approaching having watched a hundred different reactors discover this one particular performance.
Thank you God, or his completely different beat poem Storm, are exemplars of his searing, withering intellect, wit and way with words when it comes to religious or anti-science thinking. Thank You God reminds me of the equally withering and delightful Tom Lehrer, that sardonic music comedian performing at the height of the Cold War 1950's and 60s. (while Lehrer had much to say about USAmericans sheltering Nazi scientists, who can forget the delightful 'Poisoning Pigeons In The Park'?)
Thank You God with the MSO is probably the most Tim Minchiny of all Tim Minchin's songs, and a must do. It exemplifies why Lawrence Krauss, the physicist and cosmologist hosted Tim on his science podcast Origins to talk about communicating the 'scientific method' and critical thinking. However if limited to just 5 songs, I personally love Storm even better, and it does the same job.
Not Perfect, by the final verse is a deeply relatable, even emotional ballad about being human. If anyone is surprised by the extremely different musical career Minchin has had after the musicals, where he has turned to romantic and sad ballads about the breakup of his very long time marriage with his teenage sweetheart, this early ballad demonstrates that beautiful, wistful side of him was always there in seed form.
White Wine In The Sun is not only funny, thoughtful, beautiful, and emotional by turns, but is the definitive narrative about how 85% of Australians relate to and celebrate Christmas. Its also the song that was the deciding factor in him being approached to write the music for Matilda.
Lullaby is the song for ALL parents, and everyone who understands what parents go through, and how hard babies are. It also goes for a wild musical ride, and the version with the MSO is perfect to get the full effect.
I'll Take Lonely Tonight is the ballad for every faithful person in a monogamous relationship. A love song to the woman he might have fallen in love with, if he wasn't already profoundly in love with his wife, and profoundly relieved to resist temptation. Its the only Tim Minchin song I'd recommend the video for over a live performance, because there's something very haunting about Tim Minchin in a Suit in a boat in a kaleidoscope.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Oh I didn't realise Tim and Sarah(for that is her name!) Had broken up?
What a great comment. Thanks for all the info.
@@jemxs me either.....i don't think that's true.....i hope not !!
@@cindyshawver9986 yeah would be a shame, gonna so some research!
Edit: well my very quick and not very deep Google dive failed to find any evidence of a split so I will assume that they are still together!
Check out Darkside with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
there is actually a 'kick a ginger' day in the uk! great reaction
Better be careful you don’t catch it.
wow i'm surprised someone requested Tim Minchin but now your here Tim has a comedic IQ that is off the charts Storm and The Pope Song are gold
P.S i did stay to the end for the hippo song hehe
Yes to both
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Add “thank you god” and you’ve got a great collection
“Thank you god” and “the pope song” are both brilliant songs from Tim.
Thanks for the message. Take care and have a fab day. Cheers G&A
You guys should look out for the Aussie 2019 TV series "Upright" starring Tim. Essentially about a guy (Tim) driving from Victoria to Perth (3,500Km) with an upright piano on the back of his Ute. Documents his adventures and setbacks on the road.
No that sounds like a show I would love to watch. I wonder if it exists anywhere here in the USA. I will have to go and look
Red hair is a wonderful chance to connect with old school genes . I have blonde/mousy hair but grow a red beard !
Irish, Scottish, English is my bloodline for at least 800 in years literalised paper records , im a "Ranger" !!!!
Ranger!!!
We don't hear that snip of BBC music at the beginning in Australia but I'm positive I used to hear that when Benny Hill started
Thanks for the message and have a great weekend
Storm
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
The "Ranga" thing is big in Oz as well. When I was growing up [had Scottish heritage with a Grandfather called 'Carrot Top' ] we had tea making rules, you NEVER put milk in your tea first unless you wanted red-headed kids. Also Americans never understand that Gingernuts are biscuits here and in the UK ....... they all seem to think he has gone straight to crude and not a double entendre . I think my 2 favourite Tim Minchin pieces are Storm [live on stage] and Lullaby. Oh and I didn't remember the Hippopotomus song until it got to the "Mud, mud, glorious mud!" chorus. Thanks guys! : )
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Yes, please. Do a week of Tim. He is so clever and talented. A must is Thank You, God.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Tim Minchin is a unique performer and his brain is not wired as normal. He made Roald Dahl's famous book 'Matilda' into a hit musical, 'Matilda the Musical' which was performed worldwide and won many awards worldwide. We know how you feel about eco stuff - composting and worm farming, what do you think about renewables!
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
My favourite is ‘Thank you God’.

Love Tim, love Flanders and Swann. Definitely react to White Wine in the Sun, please. If you don't want to do a whole week of Tim, you could do another Australia week with a lighthearted theme - more Tim, Axis of Awesome (How to Write a Love Song), and Redgum's lighter side (Servin' USA). More suggestions available!
Great suggestions and thank you for sharing. It would be a fun week to cover the lighter side of music
Also check out his song white wine in the sun!
Loved the ending with Flanders and Swann - the history of the comedy song in this episode! Maybe next, you could react to Rammstein’s new release, Dicke Titten and play out with something from the Benny Hill archive.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Well done guys. Great choice and don't forget that he was heavily involved in Matilda the musical as well as his comedy work.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
He actually wrote the whole thing. He’s written a few Broadway musicals and of course starred in Jesus Christ Superstar as Judas. Definitely a musician first, in Tim’s own words.
@@Dr_KAP He certainly has a boatload of talent
Please do “thankyou god”...it will knock your socks off!
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Run Rabbit...1939. Next Tim Minchin ? The Pope song.
In australia we call redheads, blue , just because lol
Makes perfect sense
I keep seeing the start of your videos and expect "Yes Minister" to start.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
Definitely check out Thankyou God. He has a full orchestra, and I think it’s his cleverest, definitely most sarcastic song.
Where to start.... Dark Side, Lullaby. Thank You God, White Wine in the Sun, Inflatable You, If You Loved Me, Three Minute Song, Pope Song (some may need language warnings)
Hopefully we can do some more from Tim as he is a genius
Superb! Tim is a genius 👏
He really is the master of his craft. Just so much fun and cleverness
You should check out another Tim Minchin' song "The Pope Song". Or if you want good Aussie music try Cosmic Phsycos " Fuckwit City".

@@TheThamesmen Believe me. I won’t. The shop shut 10 years ago! LOL
I like observing first reactors from the USA black community with this one by Tim. He leads them down the garden path, then.... Some get it straight away, many are uppity about it until the penny drops (and rightly so) but for some it never does and it goes over the top. Aussies call redheads 'Blue/y'.
I can see why that would be fascinating to watch. He walks a very fine line beautifully.
Tim's greatest contribution to Australia has been his song to George Pell - th-cam.com/video/EtHOmforqxk/w-d-xo.html
Dark Side is a must
Thanks 🙏
Now you need to react to Tim and Thank You God.
You should see Tim as Judas in the Jesus Christ Superstar Live Arena Tour or playing 6 sold out nights at Royal Albert Hall with the 60 piece Heritage Orchestra or as Friar Tuck in 2018 Robin Hood or composing the lyrics and music for Matilda the Musical winner of 4 Tony Awards, 12 nominations or as writer, executive producer, starring with Milly Alcock, now in its 2nd season, Upright, the story of a man and a 16 year old runaway driving across Australia to return the family piano, or after 7 year absence returning with the 2019 BACK tour, a slightly matured Tim, a touch cynical, less silly, even more clever and his music has gone to another level.
He is an amazing talent!
My fave of his is "confessions"
Will have to check it out. Thank you for the support
@@TheThamesmen just stumbled across you guys via the Angles vid.Good to hear some un barstarised English accents after 30 years, mines hanging on by the skin of me bleedin' teeth 🏴thanks for the entertainment lads
@@jono.pom-downunder our pleasure from other confused ex pats
While you're looking at Aussie music, and you mentioned the indigenous/aboriginal Australians. You could do a lot worse than checking out some of their music too, from the Warumpi Band, to Yothu Yindi, Baker Boy, Jess Mauboy there are some fantastic and important songs worth hearing.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
There are so many Tim Minchin gems. Inflatable You is fun, the Pope Song will blow you away.
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
and then you see him receiving his award from Richard Dawkins and having one of the most intellectual conversations ever and you realise this man is so deep. Loved the Hippopotamus song I also have oner of the albums. I love the Reluctant Cannibal song!! :D
If you do want to see some seriously inspiring Minchin then do his graduation speech (9 Life Lessons) - th-cam.com/video/yoEezZD71sc/w-d-xo.html
I forgot about the reluctant cannibal song! It is brilliant. Also amazing is that commencement speech you link to as I have seen that in the past. Thank you for the support
Great Swann song 🤪
Thanks for the message. Cheers for being here and have a fab weekend G&A ✌️
If it's the intellectual side of Tim Minchin that you're after, watch Storm. It's genius, hysterical, and my mantra. A line in it is now referred to as "the Minchin Corollary" rhetorical device.
Others have also recommended Thank You God, and I endorse that. It is in the same vein as Storm, so also most certainly worth a look.
Hi Alex..Hi George!
Tim is phenomenal.
Check out his performance in Jesus Christ Superstar...
His vocals are amazing!
George..l enjoyed the Hippo song! Reminded me alot of the Goodies.
Thankyou gentlemen!

Saw an interview by Tim Minchin given to Aboriginal journalist Stan Grant where he was challenged about the song's lyrics in that, even though he dosen't directly say the N word, everyone knows what he is referencing. Tim acknowledged this point and said that the song can still be hurtful to people of colour, he finds it difficult to perform since he has become aware of this fact and that he probably wouldn't have written it today To be so reflective and thoughtful about his work in my mind is a true testament to his character.
Thanks for the comment and be well. Cheers G&A
My recommendations are..
Lullaby
Inflatable you
& thankyou God.
Keep up the good work fellas!!
