Ahhh, Tim... You are so gorgeous in your views... I bow to you, you are so great... and funny... So many are the times where fluids I was drinking came spilling out of my nose while watching your video's. So great.
I love this song so much. But the audience kind of... gets under my skin? There are definitely some laughs when Tim sings about his body and he says the line - "And the weirdest thing about it is, I spend so much time hating it. But it never says a bad word about me." It wasn't a punch line :(. That's a really deep lyric... not a joke :(. It's like laughing at White Wine in the Sun.
I love this song so much. Its so beautiful and makes you feel good about yourself and life. So much love for Tim :D. Makes me feel less shit about life :)
Every time I feel my depression turn into an anxiety attack, I will either listen to or sing this song. It doesn't always fix it, but it always, ALWAYS makes me feel better. And not quite as fucked up.
@HellfireHawks I really like your attitude. So many bash on those who do not share their views. I like to believe that people who like Tim Minchin, are also an agreeable bunch.
Literally every title of every video in "Related Videos" section is purple, to indicate that I've already watched it. I don't know what to do with my time now O_o
@FrostyCarl Seems, given the constant rate of commenting, that its popularity has grown with Tim's over the years. Makes me kind've proud to be a fan.
@Davidstan2 The word "demagogue" is a person who gains power by manipulating people's fear and hate, like a fire-and-brimstone style preacher. So a demagoguery would be a country run by such a person.
This song makes me so happy and sad at the same time. It makes me cry and I don't know whether it's because it's such a lovely song, or because it gives me the feeling we're all just wandering souls that don't know what on earth to do with themselves. And then I wonder whether it's sad that we're all wondering souls, or whether I should be happy I'm not alone.
@eshcharyon Agreed. I went to see him live in Belfast where I was living at the time. It was just before Christmas and I was due to fly out to Australia where half my family live and spend my first Christmas in years with them. It was the perfect song to end on for me. I cried :)
@NFXShockwave Have you heard his song "white wine in the sun", when he sings it live on his "ready for this"
Dvd? Its sutch a great song, and also sutch and increadible ending of the DvD. The wole dvd, he talks a lot about him self, and shares so mutch, you feel like you get to know him personally just from the DvD, and then he ends it with that song... its just so fantastic!
/watch?v=jzFXg3a4KsY it's a cover my bestfriend did, she's amazing, i'd appriciate it is you could thumbs up, comment and favourite it ;3 thankyou fellow youtubers! :3
i love how he's towing the line between laughter and genuine, heartfelt lyrics. obviously the odd line is intended to be comedic, but i think alot of the time people giggle because the meaning is genuine and they just feel awkward. pretty fucking deep for a comedian nowadays
He has such a beautiful voice and amazing musical talent. I love his hair, he is sexy as fuck too! Perfect man, in every way. He's even Aussie, so proud right now
Best song ever in the whole history of mankind. I kinda wish I'd written it but it wouldn't be right coming from me. In the bit where he's saying about his mind, he looks as though he might cry. As I say, best song EVER!
best Minchin song, in my opinion - perfect, in fact - I laugh so much at all of his stuff but this is quirky, moving and really catchy. one of his songs I find myself singing all day.
This song is so moving it inspired me to write a version encapsulating my own world. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other people have, too. I kinda wish we could collect all our filk versions and somehow present them as a tribute of self-awareness and acceptance that Tim inspires.
I hope you will not take this comment as a critique. I feel obliged to point out that the surface of the Earth is 1/3 dirt and 2/3 water (in very general terms), but the Earth itself is rather massively in favor of dirt and other non-liquid matter. I hope you will consider either:
1. Adding the word "surface" somehow in the lyric.
2. Changing the fractions to 9/10 and 1/10.
Also, I love your material. You're a breath of fresh air for the ears. Or something. Thank you.
@lmayliffe I think the way in which Tim uses the word Earth implies that he is relating to the planet rather the "non-liquid" matter that we all called Earth (as in Dirt). So I don't think you were really obligated to point out that fact for us whilst changing the fractions would be more statisical but as it is it is correct so there isn't really any need and also adding the word surface is pointless. all is implied via well written "bad song lyrics".
@BoragusW i know that this comment was intended as sarcasm but i take it seriously, no joke. " self-centered, ignorant and rude morons" as you put it should have the same rights as any other person. it's not about making the world a better place it's about equality.
people please get over swearing who the fuck cares about it, it is victimless and if anyone finds it offensive grow up.
as for my bad spelling well sorry im just not very good at that doesn't make anything i say different.
@insidejokesarelame People shouldn't say nasty things. They have the right to say what they want, but it doesn't mean others should have to put up with it. Making other people feel bad is not a right. Comment deletion exists to prevent the conveyence of nasty messages, and that is what I use it for.
@Equihan others should have to put up with it for good reasons, offence is subjective i do not find the word "fuck" offencive why should someone's subjective right be more import than mine? if i said that i found the word "comment" offencive than should you delete any message with the word "comment" people need to get over themselfs and what they find offencive so we can all say what we want.
@insidejokesarelame Firstly, it's "offensive". Secondly, regardless of what you find offensive, the social majority generally dictates what is & isn't offensive (whether or not people like it), and most people react accordingly. I won't delete a comment just because it contains the word "fuck"; comments deleted are those that contain personal attacks. All you are showing is that you think you should be able to say what you want regardless of how it affects others, and that is not the case.
@Equihan i dont care what the social majority thinks, in many middle eastern countries the social majority thinks it's ok to stone women if they are raped does that make it ok? no it doesn't. yes i think people should be able to say what they want regardless of who is offended by it because freedom of speech is more important that hurt feelings.
Tim Tim Tim, I want to take your brain and keep it in a jar on my mantlepiece. . . . hang on that sounds like I'm a really creepy psycho doesn't it. I said the same thing about my brothers brain once . . . that doesn't help does it. I'm going to take my big blue pill now and listen to the song again. x
Tim Minchin has found a way to find a fine line of balance of the combination between simple humour and sophisticated insight. Beautiful. This song is amazing, and so is he.
Thanks fir posting. I like the humility of Minchin in this song. My first thought was, it's so beautiful, it would be perfect without the little joke verses; but then, if it was different than what it was, I guess it wouldn't be his. Yah, this guy knows what he's doing.
this comment is just to spite the person who posted this vid and therefore wrote the decription. GO FUCK YOURSELF you can delete this comment if you want but i hope ur the bigger person and relise that people can and will express there opinion in whatever way they want and regardless of how it makes others feel people should be able to do so. FUCK, FUCK, SHIT, CUNT..... also awesome song.
@insidejokesarelame Swear all you want, sir/ma'am; nothing wrong with that. Abuse, however, is not an opinion. It is abuse. I'll delete any nasty comments aimed at other users/Tim posted on this video because it's one of Tim's most viewed, and I'd like people's experience of it to be as pleasant as possible; a difficult task to achieve on a site where most people argue for the sake of arguing and speak not because they have something to say, but because they have to say something. Happy viewing.
@insidejokesarelame And given that you've posted something just to spite someone, it's already clear that I'm the bigger person. You're right, though; it is an awesome song.
@Equihan thank you for not deleteing it i am mearly trying to make a point as i am very annoyed by the constant complaning of people about such comments. i do not like swearing or seeing abuse on utube but i feel that people should have the right to say what they wish no matter how stupid or offencive.
@insidejokesarelame I'm quite the opposite - most of the complaining I see on here is in the form of abuse. People with offensive and stupid opinions are usually ignorant, misinformed or just rude, and such people's words are usually just harmful and pointless.
@Equihan i agree with that so whats with the description. if you think such people are harmless why say that you will delete "derogatory content ". thats what annoyed me in the first place.
@insidejokesarelame You should have the right to say it but someone else should have the right to take it off their wall. It's like writing "Fuck You" on somebody's wall at home and then getting angry when they rub it off.
@insidejokesarelame A conversation of equal parts swearing and honest intellectual opinions only possible on a Tim Minchin video. Anywhere else and this would've already probably been deleted. Cheers.
Did anyone notice how he changes how old his body is as he ages? :D I have a version of this song where he sings "it's twenty-nine and.... twelve... months old," and here he says 31 and 6 months old :O
Is Tim actually crying towards the end? I'm moved.

BorugusW, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 'abbreviations' usually consorting with more than one 'b'?
This is my criticism. It's not perfect, but it's mine.

Thanks fir posting. I like the humility of Minchin in this song. My first thought was, it's so beautiful, it would be perfect without the little joke verses; but then, if it was different than what it was, I guess it wouldn't be his. Yah, this guy knows what he's doing.

This song is not nearly as funny as some of his others, but it's actually somewhat beautiful. The lyrics and the music are perfect.

@insidejokesarelame Swear all you want, sir/ma'am; nothing wrong with that. Abuse, however, is not an opinion. It is abuse. I'll delete any nasty comments aimed at other users/Tim posted on this video because it's one of Tim's most viewed, and I'd like people's experience of it to be as pleasant as possible; a difficult task to achieve on a site where most people argue for the sake of arguing and speak not because they have something to say, but because they have to say something. Happy viewing.

@insidejokesarelame And given that you've posted something just to spite someone, it's already clear that I'm the bigger person. You're right, though; it is an awesome song.

@Equihan thank you for not deleteing it i am mearly trying to make a point as i am very annoyed by the constant complaning of people about such comments. i do not like swearing or seeing abuse on utube but i feel that people should have the right to say what they wish no matter how stupid or offencive.
insidejokesarelame 7 months ago
@insidejokesarelame I'm quite the opposite - most of the complaining I see on here is in the form of abuse. People with offensive and stupid opinions are usually ignorant, misinformed or just rude, and such people's words are usually just harmful and pointless.

@Equihan i agree with that so whats with the description. if you think such people are harmless why say that you will delete "derogatory content ". thats what annoyed me in the first place.

@insidejokesarelame I'm afraid you've misread my comment; I said "harmful".

@insidejokesarelame You should have the right to say it but someone else should have the right to take it off their wall. It's like writing "Fuck You" on somebody's wall at home and then getting angry when they rub it off.

@insidejokesarelame A conversation of equal parts swearing and honest intellectual opinions only possible on a Tim Minchin video. Anywhere else and this would've already probably been deleted. Cheers.

Did anyone notice how he changes how old his body is as he ages? :D I have a version of this song where he sings "it's twenty-nine and.... twelve... months old," and here he says 31 and 6 months old :O
