This man is a genius :D What he did was that he took a sensitive subject, made a song about it, made it funny and unoffensive (right?) and actually told a story about it. Love his work.
This is briliant live because you can see the shock on the faces of the people who don't know where it's going yet, and the people crying with laughter when he says ginger. I agree 'Storm' is the star of the new show, it's mindblowing!
I saw Tim Minchin at the Melbourne comedy fest a couple of days ago and he sang this song. He's great live! "Only a ninja, can sneak up on another ninja."
I saw him on his tour and laughed so hard when he sang the first chorus And also when he said "just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja" And the way he says MINGE lmao, he's a comical and a musical genius. =]
W00t! First Comment!, lol. but seriously: This is AWESOME!! yet another crazily funny song, seeing him live soon, can't wait. i love his songs with twists like this.
Saw this show last night at the powerhouse, it was absolutely amazing.. I missed half of it because I was clutching my guts laughing so hard. It was about 10x funnier than so live which is a hell of an achievement, it was brilliant.
good on you lol, it was so worth a 2 hour drive each way. this was like the second song and I was already satisfied that i'd had my money's worth (i live like 1.5 hours away from brisbane too)
To SPGA, This is in such a big venue and the mic's are far away from the audience it just sounds like people aren't laughing. Trust Me..... They Were!!!
I love his little "woo!" after the red bit! He's quite adorable.
once you go GINGEEEE you can't go back
Such a clever song, I saw this live a couple of years ago and remember thinking to myself 'no way' before the penny dropped :)

I saw this live and I had never heard it before - it was possibly the best show I have ever been too!
So awesome. I love the way you're lead to believe it's something completely different.
FREAKIN AMAZING so cleverly done, the anagram never actually occurred to me. Just an amazing song, Tim Minchin, you are a Legend...
Opened with rock and roll nerd! He was so good! We quoted his lyrics all weekend!
Tim Minchin is amazingly smart and honest in the most simplistically complicated ways. o.O

Is it possible that he's bringing to light a DOUBLE STANDARD in society? I very much think so.

YESSS HE WAS! it was at st georges hall, he got a standing ovation!
love after he sings "Pappa's going to bring home the gingerbread" he looks up and is like he's thinking: That one was fucking brilliant!
Hell yeah, more twists, puns, and jokes than any other comedy song I've heard. :D Tim's awesome.
I saw him on his tour and laughed so hard when he sang the first chorus
And also when he said "just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja"
And the way he says MINGE

Everyone I've shown this too laugh so hard when he sang the chorus
"Only a Ginga', can call another Ginga' 'Ginga''..."

The "ninja sneak up on another ninja" line!
ROTFFLOFL! FLOFL!

I LOVED when he sung this last night in Bmth.
