Darkside by Tim Minchin

[TheGooshak]

2:35 michael cera

[TheEquinox100]

5:46 Thats why i love this version more than the others

[SOULEDGE449444944494]

I wish they did more shots of Tim playing the piano.

[ambenitez123]

My Dad was in prison for most of my life.

[Unevaluated]

IM A TEENAGER OMG LOL I LAV HIM XD :P =D =P XDXDXD xP xD

EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW I AM A TEENAGER AND ALSO LOVE HIM, WHICH IS FOR SOME REASON DIFFERENT THAN JUST SAYING I ENJOYED THE VIDEO XDXDXD

[Darkbodbod]

@Unevaluated You didn't listen to the song did you?

Tim says 'It doesn't appeal to the teenage market', so the 'I am the teenage market.' comment was merely a response to that.

Also, caps does not make your point more valid, if anything it lessens your validity.

[Unevaluated]

@Darkbodbod

On the contrary i'm a big fan of Tim, i am well aware it was in referance to the song any idiot can see that, i was making the point that saying "i am X years old and like this" is an inane and childish thing to do

[Darkbodbod]

@Unevaluated So is writing in all caps like a total moron.

[Unevaluated]

@Darkbodbod

It was ironic, i guess that was over your head unsuprisingly

[Darkbodbod]

@Unevaluated Irony is no excuse for;

A. Not understanding why the guy put that comment and then trying to mock it.

B. For some reason being so irritated by what was, in comparison to most youtube comments, an intelligent response to a video that you felt you had to yell in caps lock about it. You'd complain whatever the top voted comment was, theres always one who has to be cool by mocking the top thing.

[Unevaluated]

@Darkbodbod

A. I'll reiterate, because you are having problems reading again. I did understand why he posted that comment, we've been through this already

B. Calling his comment intelligent tells me all i need to know about you really, and how would i yell in caps lock? that is completely nonsensical

[Unevaluated]

@Darkbodbod

And what are you talking about? my comment wasn't in reference to the top comment you bumbling moron

[TheEquinox100]

@Unevaluated @Darkbodbod SHUT UP YOU BOTH LIKE THE SONG! STOP BITCHING

[jcmbica]

daddy never came to my ball games..

[TimesNewSparta]

Yipee!

[DarkGodCthulhu]

5:29 The mating call of the kiddyfiddler!

[20verona]

just the look of sheer joy on his face after he reached that dog-whistle pitch

Silly man!! :P

[PianoManAMJ]

Tim Minchin = my God.

[Bullet2Margera]

this is the better performance XD love tim minchin...such a legend

[kairakia]

"Over-ambitious fucker..." xD

[pkrMergy]

go see him live .. awesome pianist & funny.. then you alter opinions

[pkrMergy]

go see him live .. awesome pianist & funny

[barscus]

Am i the only one who think that roundhouse-kicking the last note in a song is what makes a pianist truly awesome?:D



[Sozzie16MJ]

@barscus I THINK THAT TOO :D It's depressing because I attempted it, and couldn't hit the right note... After multiple attempts... xD

[Newmarketonfergus]

way better version. . .

[TheGooshak]

the whole song and the solo, is just mindblowing, pure awesome

[TheDanhedges]

YIPPEEE!! laugh so much every time

[Chiippsterrr]

whatta pro.

[captainkpeanuts]

i'm glad i'm not the only one who prefers this version, so fucking rock is awesome!!

[Cusack187]

genius.

[Koolked96]

I love his cleverness and sense of humor, but he's probably one of the best pianists i've ever seen.

[iheatherskinner]

I'm the teenage market. I love you.

[adam01king]

One of the best piano solos I have ever heard.

[missshorts9]

"yipee"

[missshorts9]

5 people are weird!! 

[kanconphotoco]

I donno, but he had a song written about him, probably fictional

[LoPan99]

What does he start saying at 7:20?

[Jaybeat2k6]

5 people don't have a dark side. 

[milesgti]

I better daddy never came to his ball games.

[inferno232]

Dat piano solo. :O

[kanconphotoco]

did anybody listen to jeremy after listening to this?

[frdmsh]

@kanconphotoco who is jeremy?

[TheOzil55]

@frdmsh that "jeremy spook" he says

[EricAurumSkagg]

@frdmsh He's refering to the song "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam, which he parodies using that tone of voice while singing some of the "dark" parts of his song.

[fusion610]

@frdmsh taking the piss out of pearl jam

[kanconphotoco]

2:21 best part that little second

[klatkadlakitki]

Jeremy spoken!!!

[drakesview]

Not gonna lie every time i watch this and he does the solo my wrists aches! (not coz im wanking to much lol)

[Sozzie16MJ]

Love the bit where he decides to see how high he can sing. :')

[Grincherific]

@Mofobloscroto That's because the kind of people that listen to guys like this tend to be musicians... and the odd thing about musicians is that they can clap in time ;)

[Silivrin1]

yippee!

[KingPecan]

@Silivrin1 You stole my comment.

[Silivrin1]

@KingPecan Oh, sorry. I didn't realize. Great minds think alike? :)

[KingPecan]

@Silivrin1 I was going to type it, then of course saw yours, that's all I meant. It would have been drastic if we both posted it...

[MrNeonWaves]

tips on how to play his solo:

Mash keys and hope for the best.

[JumpCatmonkey]

@MrNeonWaves but he does know what hes doing

[MrNeonWaves]

@JumpCatmonkey you know what i mean...;)

[PatrickAureus]

@Mofobloscroto Watch the version on the Ready For This DVD- they begin clapping during the solo, but completely out of time, and he goes "Oh yeah, off beat, wicked!"

[Naikorasu]

7:55 "Hey, wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?"

[TINKERMiLLiON]

YAMAHA! what a don! xxxx 

[ShinyaKyo]

When I listen to/see him I feel inspired and like I haven't any skills at all and like I would never have any at the same time..

[UnitHighVoltage]

the solo is so fucking good!!!

[SupErMasSiVepancake]

this guys both epic and fucking hilarious..what a legend.

[MusicJunky89]

i'm a bit late off the tim minchin mark, only just started listening to his stuff and absolutley love it :) x

[manthasagittarius]

Yup.  Someday, I reckon he could be as good as Elton John.

[TheGummie123]

that piano will have seen better days after tim was done with it :P

[xXguitardude9Xx]

8:10

can tell exactly whats going through his mind

'holy fuck that sounded cool, you guys hear that?'

[coombsb725]

wayyyyyy better than his "so live" performance!

[DEATHFLY187]

He's only sleeping!

[Chillit67]

Yippie!

[JumpCatmonkey]

He is actually amazing, like he is a modern mozart, like hes amazing, he has re written music

[dontactsuprised4]

This Man is an absolute genius. This is my favourite song of his and i just can't stop listening to it!! Rock on Tim!!

[JumpCatmonkey]

4:47 to over ambitous fuck :P amazing

[infamousCOnads]

6:36 - 6:42 ... artistic and beautifully chilling.

[GothyKidd]

5 dislikes.. clearly those 5 people are dumber than shit ^.^

[JumpCatmonkey]

@GothyKidd or over ambitious fucks :P

[ArleneBettsS]

I fucking love his voice from 6:36 to 7:55!!

[cakefaceboomboomboom]

just makes me smile every time, fucking love tim minchin.

[tomps94]

@Deanrants

how do you know that?

[6Fresh6Till6Death6]

i love the random fur elise phrase in the middle of his crazyness.

[gamesfrome]

will the force be with him? XD

[PatrickAureus]

Instant replay button: 1:30

[jezeus101]

this is the best performance on this song hes done :)

[tomzy1991]

Wow he is soo dark

[TheBrainPulse]

I convulsed with laughter each time he went, "YIPPIE!"

[harrisongsrule]

@AlecSierra i have never met anybody over the age of 10 that has a musical sense and enjoys justin bieber. he's a wanking fuck bucket who happens to be able to play a guitar chord and sing in a kind of in tune voice-ish sometimes. and the difference between tim minchin and justin bieber isn't michelin star and mcdonalds, it's more like michelin star and a rotted mess of fecal matter on a moldy bun.

[Elonex21]

@harrisongsrule Slight point, if you sit around posting youtube comments all day, it's probably likely you've never met anybody, let alone anybody over the age of 10...

[harrisongsrule]

@Elonex21 good point coming from someone who spends all their time watching a playlist of god awful anime they've probably spent months perfecting.

[MrSkillz993]

Lol at the end of the solo he called himself an "ambitious fuck" XD I loled

[joejoejoejoeish]

2:28 im so breaking up with somebody like that.

you know, in the key of C # minor

[LastKissGoodbye]

Wonder how many people picked up on the Pearl Jam lyric lol

[Sheytana13]

@LastKissGoodbye quite a few, i believe.. :)

[azzwoopin]

GENIUS!!



[ferkle94]

Love the shots of people admiring him during the solo.

[Dravon2468]

Yipie!! ♥

[thatgirlbryony]

Looking at the statistics...it really *does* appeal to the teenage market :)

[bladid]

YIPEE!

[lillagah]

SO MUCH TO LOVE: the lyrics, the "yippee," the insane amount of talent on the piano, the vocals, the humor, the "omg! people!" looks he gives the audience, the floor-stompingly epic passion he puts into his music. I LOVE MINCHINNNNNN

[SpockstarRockstar]

*Over-ambitious fuck*

[RenegadeSOD]

that look he has after that highpitched scream was so funny. '' Holy crap, did you see what i just did!..''

[infamousCOnads]

What an outstanding performer. Praises to the Minchin.

[FurryVegetables]

@WannabeSuperheroes I'm probably missing the point completely, but i wanted to point out the hilarious irony in saying that tim minchin should be seen as a god. :D

[Zalytunz]

I like the non-Australian "So Live"-version better, mainly because one of the smoke machines doesn't work and Tim goes to fix it :D

[MJlover3307]

@Zalytunz do you have a link to that vid

[Zalytunz]

@MJlover3307 No unfortunately not, can't find it anywhere on Youtube :/

[Phatheadish]

See i was preparing a big arguement as to why people who dislike this are intelectually moronic toolbags with genatils for ears. Then i realised i need not. This song. NO this GOD needs no defending. :)

Minchin = Legend

[MrLolKins]

His best preformance of Darkside IMO, fantastic song, would love to see Tim live

[fenderbasskd]

I saw the song on 1499 likes... I had to make it even :D

[alexlm2]

@fenderbasskd you see, i liked it because i like it

[rachelthedreamer1]

I can have a darkside, I can have a darkside... Yippee! *kickass piano solo*

[daybrad]

Any idea what he is referring to at 7:13, "Jeremy has spoken"?

[AlterBridge06]

@daybrad he is referencing the song 'Jeremy' by Pearl Jam. Which is a song about a boy who committed suicide at school in front of his class.

[AngeFIN]

@daybrad to the Pearl Jam song Jeremy. His using a "grunge" voice so that's the reason.

[jemma8387]

Awsome!!!

[ILoveMusicOverLife]

There aint nothing dark about tims piano performance in this...

[jack21222]

@ILoveMusicOverLife That's the joke...

[WannabeSuperheroes]

@AlecSierra its not that im following the crowd of haters, its just i have an incredible respect for music, i write my own and i listen to bands which are influential in their genre, no matter what genre that is i dont see him as someone who deserves the fame, and for the lack of inspiration and difference which he gives with his "music" i cant respect him and dont

[MrDrummaster1]

I reaaaaalllly does appeal to the teenage market!!!!

[maciejaszlll]

9:30! Incredible! Best part of all song :)

[TheOzil55]

@maciejaszlll that cute little laugh :)

[qapiojg]

absolutely nothing that i want more in life than to see tim minchin live

[alexlm2]

this video wont work for me and i love this version :(

[TheMaggot870621345]

Can you download this version of Darkside somewhere?

[PiedPiper47]

HE CAN PLAY A PIANO EH? haha great solo!

[buckethead41]

"You could be as clever as Voltaire, but it won't get you nowhere if you want to sell discs. Clever never made no one rich; it doesn't appeal to the teenage market." One of my favorite lines of Tim's. =)

[PiedPiper47]

he can play piano!!!

[treyella]

i love his "omg i did it" face after he hits the high note

[LegoSheepDeathBot]

this was so incredible when he did this with the Sydney orchestra 

[paultom123456]

hunt the 6 dislikes down and "kill them" (armstrong and miller)

[989swimmer]

@nikhilr51 yes! I'm glad I'm not the only pearl jam fan who also listens to Tim :D

[nikhilr51]

Jeremy spoke in....!

[pudsybearisababe09]

"Over Ambitious,Fuck" lmao

[pudsybearisababe09]

"Over Ambitios,Fuck" lmao

[funsais]

Don't try the piano kick at home, kids...

Hurts like hell without shoes...

[Redux1010]

CLEARLY A MUSICAL GENIUS

[Splaboing]

I'm pleasantly surprised there aren't more dislikes - I would have thought that the fans of all the musicians Tim's sending up would resent this somewhat.

...yippee!

[PwnageGravy]

I love how he always looks like he isn't entirely sure where he is at the moment.

[GuitarFavsWithAly]

I love Tim so much! My favorite part of the whole song is when he says yippy at 3:54

[SisiStringer]

I FUCKING LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

[tintinmustdie]

Tim Minchin - the only person to roundhouse a piano and win

[beckymwoods]

i love it from 6:31-6:43

<3

[bindle25]

at 2:07 it really sounds like hes saying 'if pain's what you want in an ant'

[TMoneyiscool]

Epic "Feet" skills Tim.. xD

[Stevokidd]

[BurnsUnitTV]

@Stevokidd too super ambitious or somit like that aha

[GeeBeCool]

[RageJimm]

@Stevokidd "Over-ambitious fuck!"

[kidbusta]

[MoVeRzZx]

[MegaJantina]

@Lidercfeny

His first girlfriend Jackie,after he kissed Winston's ex-girlfriend Nia back @ Steph's party in 1993

[Lidercfeny]

Who the hell would break up with him? :D

[MontyTheSnailCat]

See NASA?

See what happens when you let aliens into Earth's atmosphere???

Look what you've done- Tim's a freaking superhuman!!!

[SammyBrom]

PIANO SOLO IS FU***NG SICK

[MadAsAHatter1611]

He's got to be the love-child of Bill Bayley and Beetlejuice!

[ElectroGirl04]

SEEING HIM IN MAY.

<3<3

[littlejlovesnoel]

@ElectroGirl04 Where is he playing????

[gazlsos]

You over ambitious fuck!

[cantthinkofaname0880]

This is my favourite performance of Darkside. The solo is brilliant, and he nails the super high note.

[popthatpimpel]

Why don't my hands do that :P <3

[MrElmoist]

@lazyukulele3

Calm down
