If I Didn't Have You by Tim Minchin

[sightnotseen]

WOW ! check the knees....groovy groove!

[alanajohns682]

Sublime



[niknaktom]

he never wears shoes

[dominic2255]

@niknaktom It's part of his look, as is the hair and eye liner. He explains it on his web site

[LemonArsonist]

His eyes are hilarious when he says banana

[amorninggirl]

My fiancee and I joked that we'd dance to this for our first dance if we couldn't find a better one for us. The closer we get to the date, the more it looks like it'll be this

XD

Seriously, this song is awesome

[VideosOfJordan]

@cowwitoutgun Tim is real



[choquera]

3 people don't wiggle....

[OvercoatCaneTopHats]

Wiggle...

[thaoval123]

its like a song a statistician would write

[guillenvieira]

What a sexy way he changed his voice a little at 3:44

[xxscartissue221]

"... or banana" :D

[TheresaTV1]

This just never gets old... makes me smile every time I see it!!!!

[simplerachel11]

@ Lynxchan, yes, it is INDEED a very romantic song, i fell for him.

[Diotima012]

I didn't know this song was uploaded to this account. I guess I should watch it here instead of through that other account where it has 625,000 views. I watch this version of this song 20+ times a day (it's the song/version that made me a fan in the first place), so I suppose I should be boosting this upload's view count instead of the other one. *makes mental note*

[BabyObrienX]

One thing and one thing only; LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE<3.

[interpolluter29]

When is the last time you heard such a love song THIS honest AND this funny? Haha!

[1alexmthemurraynator]

This totally helped me move on from my first ex girlfriend, thanks Tim Minchin ^_^ your so awesome!

[IceMetalPunk]

@1alexmthemurraynator Hey, look at that! It's a love song AND a breakup song! :D The multi-talented Tim Minchin, everyone! :)

[DoctorNociceptor]

LOL! Neck-down allopecia! I'm just trying to imagine just how shiny hairless skin would look like -- like those body builders! Is that weird?

[TriggerTMH]

3:22 It's that look! "I'm-sorry-I-said-that-in-a-hu­morous-manner,-I'll-try-to-be-­serious,-but-you-have-to-admit­-it-was-quite-funny"

[mimmom]

Just saw Tim in Boston, Massachusetts in the USA.  OMG, magnificent. He sang this. I think it really IS quite romantic in an odd way.

[MdahTube]

i'm just thinking he's kind of uncomfortable without the piano. He just looks...nervous? apprehensive?

[emwrightable]

@MdahTube I think that's part of the act ;)

[jellybean3264]

i love how when ever i lissin to one of his song's it sounds like hes makeing up as he gos along lol just lookt at his face

[iwirebr]

his wife pushed dislike 3 times :\

[niallenglish]

[BertieVI]

@niallenglish lol my bro saw him on thursday

[artk1ng]

@BertieVI LUCKY!!

[rcaddict72]

brilliant..the guy's a genius...

[beanodonnell]

this song explains hpw i feel about girls anyone we'll do its who u choose to build a bond with

[zekeboy24]

Bad arena to do this song in.

[niallenglish]

I'm going to see tim minchin on the 29th april 2011, so excited :D

[icouldsayimhappybut]

is amaing with the SSO

great show last night xD!!!!

[Nymphonicx]

I love his mean moves!

[unikulkija]

I have a female friend who unintentionally looks just like Tim. She even dances like that. And her humour is similar... And she is adopted. So my head is filled with silly theories.. ^^

[hazzaza1]

@unikulkija doitfaggot ;)

[tigerlover52]

I just like the way he says "banana" ^^

this song is so great :)

[yaoiluva1127]

lol, his well written songs and catchy tunes^^ nd the squiggly dance XD

[sarkasmi83]

Oh and is there a longer version of this? I found some lyrics that have whole verses not sung in this performance... Does he have an album with these songs and longer versions? Or are they on the DVD?

(Just found out about Minchin a few days ago and instantly loved his brilliance.. there's not really a single video I've watched that I didn't like.)

[ifulovesmgiveitaway]

@sarkasmi83 He has an album from his "Ready for This?" tour but this is also on the DVD (buy them both like I did!)

[sarkasmi83]

@ifulovesmgiveitaway I so will. Tnx

[sarkasmi83]

If he EVER comes to Finland, I'm so going to see him. At that point I'd steal a damn ticket if they got sold out. :D

[muffin8or]

His wife is a lucky woman.

[DAdZor]

Yea! ... followed by the squigly dance ... ROFL

[1laddet]

Saw this for the first time at your gig in nottingham

N Now i cant stop listening to it, spec the romanic (ish) ending

<3

[MissCandyCool]

2:00 - BEST PART OF WHOLE VIDEO! :D

[TheATrain94]

His face when he says "Banana"!!

[sugaredskunk]

I love this song and his ltitle dance moves, especially that wiggle he does.

[gantok2]

@cowwitoutgun actually minchin = chuck norris

[Sunnyside193]

there is all those people and the laughter is so little wat the hell?

[BastasGirl]

@Sunnyside193

They probably don't really get it. My philosophy teacher showed this to us once and we were all laughing so much but a friend of a friend who didn't take the subject and was just sitting in the class was really confused.

[perdr67]

neck-down alopecia ftw

[2404Mitch]

this is firetruken awesome!

[stshir]

I love this song. And as a woman I can honestly say I actually think it's absolutely true :P Obviously I'm no romantic :D

[RisingScience]

3:22 there is a certain insanity in his eyes....  i think its amazing! lol

[Lhappylstalker7]

I love that he's cracking up at the end. :L

[VickiLovesDoctorWho]

I saw this on tv, it was the first time i'd heard of you, i thought you were insane and completely awesome!!!! <3

[Imperfectionistable]

I love his bare feet :L

[magicmuso]

This is so clever :)

[M3g4UBERn00b]

best 2 lines in this song:

1: "....or a banana"

2: ".....or something"

made me laugh :P

[willowstar01]

@M3g4UBERn00b i think

1: ".... and suffers neck down alopecia"

2:"... im just saying... i don't think your special."

[sweet1987yo]

jojojojojjo very good ^_^

[B8rkley]

He looks nervous at the start, (I realise the whole quiet talking bti is part of the act lol) but he looks very stiff. This was the first time I saw Tim ever, and I think he might have felt the pressure a bit. But he grows into the song and gets into his rhythm. He's a brilliant lyricist, i'd definately go to one of his shows. Keep up the good work Tim!

[asmileforluise]

@B8rkley I think it's also because he's used to having his piano in front of him, and now he's just standing there, without anything.

but this is one of my favourite songs of his, and I think he's absolutely fabulous. I hope he keeps doing this for a very long time :D

[ShakeZulaTheMicRula]

@B8rkley He's probably just really used to playing the piano and performing, so just standing up there with a mic and singing, it would be out of the normal and be a little awkward at first.

[luvsickcriminal03]

@ 3:24 (: I love his smile<3 And Idk what's with the audience, but they have no sense of humor :| They hardly laughed. I love this song.

[snyckerss]

wooo!!! Portugal is mentioned!

hehe

Portugal loves Tim, so we deserve it!

[LynxChan]

I think maybe I've listened to this song too many times. It's actually starting to sound romantic lol.

[eraticus]

@LynxChan I think it is romantic. It is pretty obvious through the comedy and wordplay that he really loves his wife. :)

[Xrabbite]

@LynxChan its just the way he is, i bet his wife adored it the first time she heard it

[flanksy]

@LynxChan For an honest athiest it is extremely romantic!

[gamesfrome]

@LynxChan I know what you mean :'-)

[sally098765432123456]

@LynxChan well it is in a way- in a twisted way he's saying that out of anyone he could have had he chose her :) ...well sort of.

[mattwhite07]

One of your best

[filcardal619]

Tim Minchin you are really amazing, glad to see that you know Portugal =)

Go on and make an effort to come to Portugal =)

[NotYourAverageBlond]

what would tim minchin look like with neat hair and no make up???? xx

[DangerousDan777]

A Douche .. leave tim alone ! :P ;) x x

[NotYourAverageBlond]

@DangerousDan777 lmao...dann...you stalker! :P

i wasnt like...being meann...just a thought...curiosity (: xx

[SupermarketsRevil]

Exactly..this song is spot on...the idea of "the one" is a joke

[letswatchstuff2009]

Love this Song so much!!!

Also this is first time in a while i'll heard this without the new verses - was singing along and kept going into the wrong lyrics

[ohmyrensa]

i didn't hear the full version until i actually saw tim live, i was oblivious to the fact that i'd not heard the full version! i felt like such an idiot :P

[error19]

@letswatchstuff2009 it's not that there's new verses, he actually performed the entire song that night but this is an edited down version. (i didn't see it on tv when it aired so dont know what was shown on the actual night) you can can find videos on youtube of this same performance with the extra 60 seconds not cut out.

[letswatchstuff2009]

@error19 Well all the related videos are all 4:00 minutes long lol If it's on youtube somewhere i'm to lazy to find it, cheers for letting me know tho =]

[TokerSmurf]

@letswatchstuff2009 - if you watch the video which was uloaded by "SecretPoliceman" you will see the other verses

[WoDMorgan]

nice

[revilo314]

Bitches don't know bout my Portuguese alternate reality shag.

[Jotm42]

First? Maybe.

I adore this song, perfectly true.

Every time I listen to it, I have to do the little "Bell Curve" hand action, as does my friend.

Brilliant.
