Lullaby by Tim Minchin

[nicegye338]

the most funnyis vidow thats what i fill like when children dont stop moaning lol

[dadaaaada]

@liambrorrill Britons are well educated allowing them to make sense when writing/typing a sentence

[bioschlock]

Pretty funny, execution a bit lacking - 3/10.

[Slivertrust]

this is exactly what im gonna sing to my kids!!!!

[liamborrill]

this show why Australia is better than the uk. the allow this awesome song on tv we have woodyallenjesus stopped? Britons, grow a pair!

[simondrobinson]

@liamborrill 99% of Britons would have welcomed it on TV - Sadly its ITV that don't have the balls. Please don't assume that ITV represents the average Briton in anyway shape or form.

[EmilyCompton1996]

PHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :') I'm loving the first child gets White wine in the sun, nicely in F major with chords that are quiet, and the second gets this :')

[snowtigeress1]

this is pure genious

[777goosey]

Tim Tim Tim. I hope your child never has to hear you sing this song.I enjoy alot of your work but this makes me fel sick

[timburtonfanch]

wow he can play piano

[timburtonfanch]

he has such a nice voice for those lyrics-but still funny!

[leafintheair]

I sooooo love this! As for the previous posters mentioning the the cello player in the background having a giggle.... I just don't see it - he reminds me of Beaker from the Muppets!!

[mollymckendrick]

ahh so sad lol but still so funny lol go tim

[3GreenMojo]

Happy 1st year anniversary of this video!

[domman666]

Fucking legendary

[lsdanddontcare]

this song and "Go the fuck to sleep" book...yeah, I guess I'm ready for a parenthood

[DavySigfusson]

I started clapping in the end without thinking about it... brilliant show, good chap.

[goldingeye]

A must listen 4 those with babies lol

[ghenley11]

I haven't got any kids but I can still relate to this song. Absolutely brilliant.

[Chooser666]

Oh its beutiful! its so.. so... so.....zzzZZzzzZzZZZzzzZ

[prototypep4]

@snaredrum110 Ok first of all it's Aussie. Secondly he is actually very funny you're just too fucking stupid to get the jokes. Thirdly he has amazing vocal control with perfect pitch. Fourthly he's married and has been for many years with children. I really don't think he's gay. Go somewhere else and leave the rest of us Tim fans alone cunt.

[F1fty5s1x6]

i dont think it is possible to not like this song

[JonsRedemptionIsland]

The one good thing to come from Ben Elton

[gavdaddydad]

i had to go search fat women stuck on waterslide. its hilarious. not as good as this though

[badkitty0in0a0corset]

that little minor chord at the start is sooo beautiful :)

[JustFunnyStuffReally]

@2:03 the guy in the back ground is trying so hard not to laugh

[TheCardinalFang]

I'm sure there isn't a parent who hasn't felt like this at least once when their little darling is teething and not sleeping.

They just don't admit it in public!

[martharoyce]

@snaredrum110 Tim MINCHIN idiot.

[SmokeFlameAsh]

I expect to hear this song on the radio on GTA V now.

[thisismynamehahaha]

@snaredrum110 from now on, your name is puppy raper. 

[amysome1]

This is the only song that actually puts my little brother to sleep... only 3 months old and already a Tim Minchin fan :)

[this1is1anfield]

Tim where is the song FENCE it is your best song from the orchestra tour, i understand you might not want it online from that tour yet but like lullaby you must have played it for tv etc. if not can we have it up soon please i need it to get me through work

[hatakihitaru]

@this1is1anfield thats sad that you "need" it

[this1is1anfield]

@hatakihitaru its sad that you werent drowned at birth

[italiangirl9696]

@this1is1anfield that was the greatest comback. lol seriously i laughed hard when i read that

[this1is1anfield]

@italiangirl9696 *takes a bow* Thankyou :)

[kbcoolify]

@snaredrum110 your baby didnt cry because it was a fuckin miscarriage but u were too fucking stingy to get rid of it and try for another

[GoldnDusty]

@snaredrum110 Well, I can kind of empathise with you. Tim Minchin's music is more about comedy. Comedy that requires some small shred of intelligence to understand. Just get off his videos. We don't want you straining a muscle in your brain.

[HarakMolova]

You have a neck beard don't you? You're fat as well I bet.

[Swornvendetta]

@snaredrum110 0/10 try again later

[italiangirl9696]

@snaredrum110 It's your opinion, why would you go on his videos if you didn't like him anyway?

[italiangirl9696]

@snaredrum110 lol who are you talking about

[anythingelvis]

fucking hilarious!!!!!!!!

[louiseobrien2010]

33 people have never had a child!

[msschaarschmidt]

My guess is that if you don't find this funny, you're not a parent. My kids are all grown now, but this still had me laughing until I had trouble breathing. I don't miss those days at all. Well done.

[TheJollynerd]

tim, i wish that you knew me and vice versa, so we could go get ice cream.

[jookieloom]

this is terrible

you all breathe from your mouths

[MrJoeGGriffiths]

Even funnier than "Go the fuck to sleep" :D

[chiffmonkey]

1:23 I fell off the chair

[MissValour]

I'm a nursery nurse, I feel like this ALL the time...

[bookwench]

face hurts from laughing...

[AustinLondonMustFeed]

I clapped at the end without thinking about it :3

[Slench101]

fits winter mode nicely ;D

[codedbraker2357645]

i hope he is in the comedy porms 2012

[TomBrandon121]

@codedbraker2357645 Hmmm, I'm kinda hoping he'll be at the comedy PROMS, rather than the porms...

[dobbyINrealLIFE]

Comedian of the millennium!!!!

[timothy22597]

@TheJsli correction: 4.5 million :)

[Ciarann13479]

One thing they don't teach you in the parenting book.

Your love for them grows the closer.... to dead they look.

XD XD Love this song <3 <3

[lph2409]

when is it rocking not "shaking" :P

[KyeIana69]

you know...recently i found out that my chemistry teacher loves Tim Minchin as much as me.....and this is her favorite song xD

[geekify321boom]

:O  --------------> :'D

[WiseOwlism]

His first child gets White Wine in the Sun, his second gets this :P

[PinkFloydFan74]

@WiseOwlism Not that he's tired or bitter or anything :)

[TheJsli]

This has nearly 500 000 views, in the sidebar there is a video entitled 'Fat women stuck on waterslide' with just under 3 800 000 views. Youtubers get your priority's straight!

[totalwaste]

@TheJsli WHAAAAAT? I WANNA SEE SOMEONE GET STUCK IN A WATERSLIDE!!!

[LeighAkroyd]

@TheJsli And within a month the fat womans got 6,609,912 && Tims only got 562,640

WTF?!?!i?i!?!

[FayazYunus]

@TheJsli You know that by saying that there is such a video, you just drew a number of people to watch it, right? sorta sucks doesn't it?

[TheJsli]

@FayazYunus haha oh shit what have i done?!

[segjulie]

@TheJsli ... weird. On my screen, every single related video on the right is a Tim Minchin song.

FYI - YouTube (Google) remembers your past views and customizes your results accordingly. :) You must have watched a lot of silly stuff like 'Fat women stuck on waterslide'!

[italiangirl9696]

@segjulie lol on my recommended is all Tim Minchin songs too!

[zerr0ww]

@TheJsli i cant find that in the sidebar. best search for it now!

[Laurenminichiello]

@TheJsli tim minchin is legendry!!!!!

[EyIt18]

@TheJsli the YouTube lament wasn't written for no reason...

[TinyTerror1990]

Haha, this is fluffing brilliant! I think just about every parent has felt this way at some point, Tim sums it up pretty well :)

[Heisenbergist]

I'm going to sing this to my children until they're 10.

[blahblahblah890100]

anyone else notice the guy behind him cracking up? like at 1:45?

[RidersWhoRide]

@blahblahblah890100 nope, too busy watching tim. lol

[OmegaRFox]

@blahblahblah890100 He plays very good for someone who is near bursting out laughing...

[dontwatchmestuff]

31 poeple diddnt get there children stolen so they coulz get a couple of houres sleep

[mcard1d]

So... much... WIN

[andy4an]

I was enjoying it until the part about hoping the kid gets abducted into sex slavery so he could get a few hours of sleep. I didn't find that funny for some reason.

[3t9l]

@andy4an That might just be a problem on your end then :I

[howitgoingeh]

I should be working on my homework due a week ago but I just can't get myself to stop watching his music.

[rubbishrider861]

@howitgoingeh I'm allways doing that!! addictive isnt it!! haha

[ianokamotochannel]

@shippodna it's a joke.. lol

[TashaGriffin100]

i love you tim! you are god xx

[thepuppyjustshatitse]

I love this song but it is kinda unnerving to know he has a kid

[billypony]

For a minute there, i thought he'd written a sincere song xD

"to make toast and talk" aha love that bit

i absoloutly love the tune :D :D

[OmegaRFox]

You could sing anything and it wouldn't sound as bad with an orchestra behind it like this

[ColterWomack]

"My heart says I love you, but my brains is sayinf fuck you"

[OmegaRFox]

This song was written at 4am in the morning I can guess...

[OmegaRFox]

Is this from experience?

[timmykskwong]

Haha his pure evil and i love it

[957Chatterton]

MY BABY'S NOT BREATHING! WHAT DO I DO?!!

[MrRy626]

@957Chatterton. sell it on ebay as a life-like doll. and then say that someone kidnaped it... or just take your hand off it's mouth...

[maddiferr]

@957Chatterton Take it to the doctor, you maniac.

[darbone]

@957Chatterton You let survival of the fittest play its part.

[io504]

@957Chatterton Post it on youtube? Great idea :P Try twitter :D

[shippodna]

i think that children are the living embodiment of the phrase karmas a bitch

[SuperMt71]

I think every parent has been in that position at some point, lets face it, we've all had a little post natal depression, some of us just dont realise thats what it is!!! Nice one Tim!

[LittleMissMiffy]

I sat at 2 am this night with my 15 months old son and sang this song to myself inside my head. Especially the part about "the line between patting and hitting..." And I ended up saying Fuck you! and let my husband take over. He really deserves a medal.

[neehowchintang]

Me: C'mon Tim, this isn't funny. This is cute.

Tim: ...of enough antihistamine to chill out a bull, yet still all this gringing.

Me: FUCK YES.

[lemoniceluxe]

@neehowchintang I've learned to never trust Timmerz xD

[johannaaight]

Hahaha this is great

[ljmkernow]

Ah, new life, such a blessing...and perfectly encapsualted in this song!!!! All new parents should be given this with their bounty pack

[herad15]

i wish sometimes a dingo would come into my house and rip off my sisters "fat bitching head" absolutely inspiring!

[candiinside1]

Pure genius

[iamevildoing]

Ahahaha His bloody pure evil and I love it

[Phebe1982]

My oldest daughter cried for 10-15 hours a day the first few months of her life.

She's (almost) a teenager now, but when I heard this song I recognized the feeling you have as a parent when you are in desperate need for a few hours of sleep and your child just won't stop stop screaming. 'My heart says I love you but my brain is thinking fuck you'

Just Fucking Brilliant.

[shippodna]

you have to give credit to the people playing flute trumpet and french horn to keep from bursting out laughing while playing their instrument

[imaegg12]

How he can make me actually smile when talking about killing a baby is incredible, only you have this power Mr. Minchin. I love you so much.

[sushirrockandoll]

he brushed his hair!

[djnee]

Australia really should have given the Ben Elton / Planet Earth show a "fair go" i reckon. There were some howler skits....but there were some real gems too. I hope Ben's not put off giving it another shot here, as a lot of us loved the show and were gutted to see it taken off the air so soon.

[pigfarts100]

0:00 replay >_<

[TheCathMcNally]

haha 3:48 his reaction to every one laughing at the line he just said as if to say "why r u laughing its true?!?!" lol

[tomps94]

is it just me, or is the dude behind tim an orchestra? :P

[Quacki29]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet

Why would any female feel like they have to wear makeup?

[TaintedGenre]

this will be my child's lullaby :D

[pigfarts100]

CHORTAL!!

[charliesmakinme]

Fuck! lmao

[BloodOfTheGodsNet]

Why is he using make-up?

[d07a]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet because he can afford it

[BloodOfTheGodsNet]

@d07a But its totally ugly. Why would any male want to use make-up?

[NaziYahtzee]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet Because being normal is the most boring thing you can be.

[BloodOfTheGodsNet]

@NaziYahtzee Agreed, but that doesn't mean that doing totally unsympatic things make you good just because they are special. Also you can not do big boi

[d07a]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet because most people don't have such a low self esteem as yourself, and no i don't ever wear makeup

[BloodOfTheGodsNet]

@d07a You have no reason to believe that I have a low self-esteem. All you know is that I dislike make-up on men, because make-up is a feminine thing and I think that shit is perverted.

[MrPandacyde]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet All you have to know is that I dislike make-up on women, because make-up is a masculine thing and I think that shit is perverted.

[BloodOfTheGodsNet]

@MrPandacyde Make-up is a feminine thing. Don't lie. Also, every single insult you have applied to me is now applying to yourself too as you just admited to have the same opinion as me, but with other variables.

Make up gives clearer lips, eyelashes and eyebrows, which are feminine beauty traits, NOT masculine.

[MrPandacyde]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet Look back in time. Egyptian men wore make up as well as women which was more than 12000 years ago... In nature men have been given more colour and splendour the more a male sticks out the more chance he has with attracting a mate. The Greeks thought it necessary in order to have inner harmony of both body and mind. History and nature shows that make up is used the same or more in men than women.

[BloodOfTheGodsNet]

@MrPandacyde How do you know this. Where you there 12000 years ago?

[MrPandacyde]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet Yes. Also the drawings that have been left behind show Pharaohs wearing eye liner. They were men of power so I doubt it was some graffiti... I'll give you a 1/10 for trolling and if you aren't trolling then you should probably try to find something better to put some thought towards. Go look for some pretty colours and bright lights.

[BloodOfTheGodsNet]

@MrPandacyde What's wrong with my trolling? Too obvious or not annoying enough?

[MrPandacyde]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet Both...

[choquera]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet He is a performer! for god's sake! he uses eye make up as part of his stage persona... he does not use it in his day to day life...just watch and enjoy or don't watch if you are going to be judgemental, which will take the fun out it... what a silly discusion... MAS !

I, personally really like it in stage, and I also like how he looks without it...

[Kittycatriona]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet Ugly my right arse cheek. Men in eyeliner are HOTT!

[arkadydarell]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet Any man you see on tv will be wearing makeup. Normal faces look too shiny on camera. Same generally goes for any actor on stage as well.

The real question is why it's so expected for women to wear makeup, but considered so strange when a man does. Playing around with decoration is a human trait.

[ToastedNeko]

@BloodOfTheGodsNet He wears eye make up for when he's playing, as he has to be able to express himself visually someway, and the eye-liner draws attention to his eyes and so the facial expression.

[CuddlyBadger]

Oh. Probably because it's not in America. How nice to know that Walmart-shopping Souther Baptists don't have seats of power everywhere.

[CuddlyBadger]

How the hell is this much brilliance is one place?

[TheJohnnyFox1]

I'm never asking him to babysit

[Classicalytrained]

is it me or does it sound like the piano needs a bit of a tune?!

[ciggynation]

i LOVE this song!!

[mysecrettninjababeyy]

Tim minchin. What would we do without you :"D

I actually love you :"3

[SenorCockblock]

@TheHolyjames just stop as soon as he can understand :)

[mlmpro1059]

Bloody good pianist though!!!!!

[mlmpro1059]

I just hate to see a man in make up and if that makes me non PC I don't give a flying one!!!!

[CorXxXSmile]

@mlmpro1059 Doesn't make you non PC sweetheart, just a cunt :)

[pigfarts100]

Ugh I hate it when parents tell you to eat all the food on your plate coz there's children starving in some other country. it's like well whether I eat this food or not they're still going to be starving.

[TheTradge]

i love his face at 3:48 =P

[holliee74]

the awkward moment when his child hears for this for the first time.

[choquera]

He is just perfect!

[xxJulieFlugtxx]

"My heart says I love you, but my brain says "Fuck you"". ♥

[elsiee94]

His voiiiceeee hnngggggg

[marajax]

[DNAmaze]

[RandomTV111]

[subgay]

Can't wait for him to get back to Brisbane in the new Year. I have two tickets sitting beside me.

[RockBanned]

@subgay I'm seeing him in a few weeks in NYC! Not to rub it in (plus you'll probably get the chance to see his show with an orchestra, right?)

[subgay]

@RockBanned Indeed I will :D

[devilman62551]

he makes piano look easy
