Oh man - the very first line of his song is SO hilarious. "We don't eat pigs" then he pauses for the perfect amount of time before "You don't eat pigs"... Cracked me up. He's so awesome.
This is really funny and at the same time Tim Minchin is presenting a very valid point - we should look for similarities, rather than differences ;) Enjoyed this a lot, thank you!
I have been trying to learn this for about an hour and i can play the first two bars of the beautiful classical intro. Only the right hand part, i'm not good enough for the full thing yet! One day though.
this guy is fabulous! i was doing research on a thesis paper on Obesity and ran across him ... im hooked and now side tracked for the evening .... thank you Minchin
The only time I've seen Tim in shoes was when I met him after his gig earlier this year. He was brilliant. Just saw him again recently. He was amazing. He states that him not wearing shoes is just an affectation in his song So F**king Rock!
Awesome! Comedians playing musical instruments certainly isn't new, but he's the first "musical comedian" I've ever seen who I'd pay to see, sans comedy. Friggin' amazing chops on that piano.
This has to be one of the most ridiculous songs to get stuck in your head. Especially when you're on the bus and you suddenly come out with "we don't eat pigs, you don't eat pigs..." I bloody love it though! He's an absolute genuis :)
@Boogieforme He's self-taught ;-) He took pianolessons for 3 years, but thought the whole discipline thingy sucked, so he quit, only to return to it after rediscovering the piano through composing for school-theater ;-)
Funny as man. I've lost count how many times I've watched it, and I still think it's funny. Inflatable you is funny as well. This guy has man skillz on piano as well, which makes im better than the rest
@BarriosGroupie Tim's probably learned a few tricks from Liszt, but it doesn't mean he's been stealing; there's no reason anyone can't be a genius keyboard composer in the 21c if they're prepared to put the finger-training work in... The actual chord sequence is pretty basic, but it is Minchin's songwriting (and performance) that matters.. I'd like to see Gary Barlow up against him in an on-stage duel :)
"We do not need hands, he used on eight detainees, it seems it's the end I'm Liane Hansen, so that used on eight detainees and we dominate days, why not not even playing CDS" ......wth transcribe audio! lols ...i want Tim Minchins Hair ...It is Freaking Awesome haha
You don't eat pigs, We don't eat pigs, It seems it's been that way forever So if you don't eat pigs, And we don't eat pigs, Why not, not eat pigs together?
The natural heir to Tom Lehrer, cracking hot pianist with a really clever comic mind. And eyeliner.
it's funny and all, but i can't get enough of that piano segment...
to beautiful
Oh man - the very first line of his song is SO hilarious. "We don't eat pigs" then he pauses for the perfect amount of time before "You don't eat pigs"... Cracked me up. He's so awesome.
You can recognize a good entertainer easily: When the crowd laughs when he insults it, he is great.
Love it! When the audience barely sing along and he says "oh you're crap" gets me in stitches :D
Me and three others bought tickets today to see him in Septermber, tim!
He's such an incredibly talented pianist it blows my mind.
This guy is so talented, watching his solo piano work is amazing.
He's encapsulating everything good about the arts and putting a higher importance on intelligence in that community. He is edgy but soft.
This is really funny and at the same time Tim Minchin is presenting a very valid point - we should look for similarities, rather than differences ;)
Enjoyed this a lot, thank you!
"Oh you're crap" LOL!!!!
I have been trying to learn this for about an hour and i can play the first two bars of the beautiful classical intro. Only the right hand part, i'm not good enough for the full thing yet! One day though.
"So if you don't eat pigs, and we"
"..... don't eat pigs"
"Nah u're crap!"
instant love! :p
this is one of those rare songs that is funny the 15th time you watch it.
mind you thats always the case with Tim
I dont know much about piano, but he seems amazing to the point where he could continue just on his musical talent alone
He's bloody hillarious,
I burst out laughing at the end where he goes 'ROCK'
and then goes really fast XD
this guy is fabulous! i was doing research on a thesis paper on Obesity and ran across him ... im hooked and now side tracked for the evening .... thank you Minchin
Tim Minchin is a brilliant pianist and such an amazing comedian.... I absolutely love him, this made me smile :D
yay, this is where i first saw dear Tim, and i've loved him ever since! thanks for uploading!
I'd love Tim to release an album of his piano work. :)
"SING if we don't eat pigs and you don't eat pigs OH, YOU'RE CRAP" AHA, i love himmm!
Pure talent! such an amazing pianist!!
HOW DO YOU PLAY THE PIANO LIKE THAT?
The only time I've seen Tim in shoes was when I met him after his gig earlier this year. He was brilliant. Just saw him again recently. He was amazing. He states that him not wearing shoes is just an affectation in his song So F**king Rock!
The sound of this song is amazing.. and the lyrics are godlike
Wow. I'd be equally happy to see him at a comedy club or a piano recital!
Awesome! Comedians playing musical instruments certainly isn't new, but he's the first "musical comedian" I've ever seen who I'd pay to see, sans comedy. Friggin' amazing chops on that piano.
haha he has such a contagious smile ^^
love the chopin-esque, high speed, cadenza style ending!!!!
I'm palestinian, LOVE IT!
bloody love him
busking on the gaza strip... :)
Tim Minchin rules! I'm so glad hes coming to my town to do a show!
i love the way he says 'sure' at the end.
its aa beautiful tune, and the fact its Tims makes it so much better
This has to be one of the most ridiculous songs to get stuck in your head. Especially when you're on the bus and you suddenly come out with "we don't eat pigs, you don't eat pigs..." I bloody love it though! He's an absolute genuis :)
His face at the end when he says "sure" is classic!
genius lol... i love the build up to the last verse
His piano skills are epic!
the thing he does with his voice at 2:57 is so cool (it probably has a italian sounding specification but I don't know it)
i love him!! all his stuff is amazing and he's so talented!! :D
Man is he epic in this clip... on his show it was a bit more laid back suppose it just makes him all the more brilliant. =)
*pause* "ROCK!" *epic piano!*
great to see humour winning the day here.. everyone who seen past it all give yourselves a huge one :~) Peace all
oh my god, i know minchin isnt usually that serious, but i was not expecting this from the title! oh, tim, you made my night :)
"oh youre crap" hahhaa
i can play that almost as fast as him!
the comedy lie's in the seriousness of th piano and the lack of seriousness in the vocals... i love it XD
The message in this song makes us all think "What are they waiting for?"
@Boogieforme
He's self-taught ;-) He took pianolessons for 3 years, but thought the whole discipline thingy sucked, so he quit, only to return to it after rediscovering the piano through composing for school-theater ;-)
Oh, yeah, who wouldn't feel soiled by not only providing nice music, but great acting and humor to boot? :)
fantastic ! awsome pianist brilliant lyricest..
also a very smart guy no pretentions just telling the truth ...TY tim..x x x
whenever there is a free piano at my uni this is the first thing a friend on my course plays. haha. TIm is epic
Oh my lord. I either crapped my pants or my heart exploded. When Tim plays its like conjuring up a tornado!
Funny as man. I've lost count how many times I've watched it, and I still think it's funny. Inflatable you is funny as well. This guy has man skillz on piano as well, which makes im better than the rest
i would love to go to one of his gigs
This man has serious talent on the piano. And he is funny as hell.
Hes so awesome.
Wow,
I came in expecting this to suck,
but I think that Tim Minchin is my new favorite person
=D
@JohnThurcaston it's in 3/4 for the most of it but the very last bit (That's really fast) is in 2/4. =)
@JohnThurcaston
3/4
The triplet feel should really let you know that it's 3/4. (Also, the "boom-chuck-chuck" of the chords makes it evident.
Loool this dude is crazzy
but i love his songs eather way
...its just when he goes *ROCK*.. and at the end hes like "Sure" Loool
he's brilliant on a side note is that russle t davis ( head writer of doctor who) in the audience
Tim's face at the end 'Sure!'
He's fucking hilarious, but his "Crack addict" look makes it perfect.
Tim you are awesome !!!!!
omg. his piano skills are amazing
I love this man!!!
Thanks!
Oh his piano playing is heavenly, makes me wish I didn't quit my classes =(
Omg tim minchin is blumin awsome!

Wow. Awesome musically and funny. What a great combo!
He's a brilliant pianist..
My inspiration!

Rock!
omg. he is a good pianist.
does anyone else get reminded of the puppet at the end of chitty chitty bang bang at the end of this? i love tim XD
He was amazing at Leeds Festival!
This is Hilarious
And the piano music is actually really class =]!
He's so good!!
Love this guy and this song!
Please! Can somebody help me to find the text of this song. My English isn't well enough to understand all the nuances of his song.
is he born with a piano at his hands? O___o
@TheAnjelHarte I think it's just right in place.
ROCK......
@BarriosGroupie Tim's probably learned a few tricks from Liszt, but it doesn't mean he's been stealing; there's no reason anyone can't be a genius keyboard composer in the 21c if they're prepared to put the finger-training work in... The actual chord sequence is pretty basic, but it is Minchin's songwriting (and performance) that matters.. I'd like to see Gary Barlow up against him in an on-stage duel :)
Hahaha at the end when he's like "sure" XD
"We do not need hands, he used on eight detainees, it seems it's the end I'm Liane Hansen, so that used on eight detainees and we dominate days, why not not even playing CDS" ......wth transcribe audio! lols ...i want Tim Minchins Hair ...It is Freaking Awesome haha
hahaaaaaa !!! this guy's unique !!!!!! i love the ending "shure !!!(smile) "
@bloodbat04 I suppose you mean 4:19 - 4:21 ... If so I agree xD
@JohnThurcaston When you ask yourself that question, its probably 6/8. Which it is.
You don't eat pigs,
We don't eat pigs,
It seems it's been that way forever
So if you don't eat pigs,
And we don't eat pigs,
Why not, not eat pigs together?
Legend
haha love this so much :P
brilliant music
I can conclued from this video, Tim Minchin is a Meshuggah fan.
the beginning of the song sounds like it came straight out of an old final fantasy game.
tim minchin is awesome!
HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL
"We've managed to put the Palestine-Israel conflict to bed once and for and I thank you for that Tim"
"Sure :D"
