that is my tie in for this post to Halloween.
If you have been around my blog any amount of time I am sure I have bored you with my love of Tim Minchin. Well, it seems he was on the new Johnathan Ross show on ITV and he was asked to write a Christams song.
First of all....you are asking Tim Minchin to write a Christmas song.....no one should be suprised that it might be a bit....of shall we say, unconventional :D
Shame on them for removing this from the broadcast.
Although, I have to say this would NEVER be shown on any US network, cause, at times, some of us, do not have a sense of humor and take ourselves and our beliefs way toooooooo seriously.
When he mentions that "...geeks would try to smack him with a shovel" ....I spit wine all over the living room!
This is not White Wine in the Sun.....but it did make me ROFL!
As usual Tim writes quite clever lyrics.
If any of you reading this are deeply religious and/or have no sense of humor (which includes most of my family) do NOT click on this link. If you do and you leave a negative comment, I will delete it. Yeah, I am in that kind of a mood. Hee Hee!!!
:D
And if for some reason you have not heard one of my favorites of his, which is a Christams song - please check out the video below, it is the Frog Queen's favorite Christmas song.
Hope everyone had a good holiday!!

Though the second was more melodic, I preferred the first tune. I can't wait to see what he digs up next time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael - I agree with you - I am always curious to what he will write next!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
The song was not aired on British TV when it should have as it was deemed too offensive. Petty case of censorship.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit this is the first I've heard of Tim Minchin, but I'll certainly be checking out more of his stuff!
ReplyDeleteVery clever! Beats the 12 Days of Christmas all to hell!
ReplyDeleteThat was hiarious! Lex is wondering around singing it now. :D
ReplyDeleteEven the great wits are prone to displays of mere cleverness for the sake of demonstrating their prowess.I'm still impressed with the guy ... but speaking of Woody ... if Tim would dismantle HIS cult a little I would really become a fan!
ReplyDeleteHA! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI have been singing this everyday now.Praise be to magical, Woody Allen, Zombie, Superman, Komodo dragon Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Tim Minchin, but I'll be watching for him in the future.
ReplyDeleteI just adore Tim. Great new song - very catchy and clever. Love the "never be nude with a dude" part.
