Tim Minchin - Alan Brough Song

[Treesonful]

"All I know about him is that he is from New Zealand and that he is big"

[Luubelaar]

LMAO! Only Tim could get away with something like that. Brilliant. :D

[hadikchik]

Can you upload the whole thing? Please?

[Wolstenholmie]

He's so god damn talented

[DarthJohn111]

oh what i would do to have tim write a song about me when hes jetlagged at 1 pm...

[celestialsalamander]

this tim guy is on of the most polific song wriiters i herd of. he can write a song in 6 hours on little sleep on a subject chosen for him and it will still be good.

he's written so many songs and all of them are at least desent. though some are much better then others.

[RutherfordClubb139]

Grab the audio from this song at tubepull doht cohm.

[bieberfeverhasspread]

hello im alan boroough thats my fave part i love his austrailian accent :P x

[nycglitztap]

I love how his Austrailian accent really comes through when he sings "Hello, I'm Alan, Brough!" <3

[drewness25]

Hi, I'm Alan...Brough!!! haha

[MJlover3307]

how can i find the tribute to myf and did tim sing it??

[3cashy4]

@MJlover3307 Eddie Perfect sung the song for myf.

[mjzua]

his songs are always so original. not just the lyrics, the music too. so cool.

[ashazard]

Who the hell is Mr Regwan, youtube captions?

[ShroomClub]

Much funnier when you know the context.

[DL172]

@ShroomClub What is the context?

[Mishyb00]

who on earth is alan brough and why is there a tribute song to him?

[CitrusToad]

@Mishyb00

Americafag I'm guessing. Welcome to Australia and New Zealand, mate. And if you happen to come from either of those places, then what rock have you been under???

[6Chizz9]

People shouldn't be so judgemental fi someone doesn't know who Alan Brough is. He is not that well known outside Australia and New Zealand and all that wikipedia has to say about him is "Alan Brough (b. 1967 in Hawera, New Zealand) is a New Zealand actor and comedian." Which tells enough to get the idea who he is but still very little

[jonathandemetriades]

Bahaha way to go man, that was a funny as reply! ;P

[Carcharien]

hey, i was just wondering, why isn't there a vid of his tribute to Myf???

[themeerkat22]

@Carcharien I think the Myf tribute he's referring to is actually a song that Eddie Perfect performed (entitled "Spicks and Specks") as the second half of that song is about Myf. Pretty sure that song is up on YouTube somewhere :)

[Carcharien]

I already found Eddie Perfects tribute to Myf, I just thought maybe Tim done one as well and it's just isn't uploaded yet (that sentence sounds sooo wrong :-( )

[basstheterrible]

he didnt do it, i forget the guy's name, but it was someone else.

[Carcharien]

Ya, I know, it was Eddie Perfect,

why do everyone keeps replying when all's cleared?

[maddimo89]

Somebody else wrote the tribute to myf, not minchin :)

[HittokiriBatosai]

aww, too bad. i saw the title and thought it was another phil daoust.

[mayabooba]

NZ pride

[Theicemonkeyjr]

saw him on wednesday and met him afterwards and got a photo and autograph was amazing

[bananachip33]

I got to kiss and hug him!

[Theicemonkeyjr]

well im a guy so ya know :L although i did hug him :P

[bananachip33]

So? It shouldnt matter if you are male or female! I know that even if I was a guy I would not have been able to resist that gorgeous cheek that he offered me.

Oh and he remembered who I was despite the fact that it was my first ever time seeing him live :)

[stupidfurnace]

I love it that tim sings at the end of the show, even when the savage garden dude is on it too

[Maksimfan]

'I wrote this jet lagged at one o'clock this afternoon' as a songwriter myself, sometimes I am inclined to hate him just a little

[TheClassOfThirteen]

yeah, but that should show how good he is ..

he wrote the lyrics and music while jet-lagged, and its still quality. it shouldnt take sitting down, wide-eyed and focused to write a good song.

[Maksimfan]

Oh I don't mean in a 'he's a bad musician' kinda way, I mean the exact oposite, I am a musucian and am doing music as a degree, I don't think I could ever right something as good as that jet lagged, I meant it in an almost jealous way. I think he's a great comedian and a fantastic musician.

[TheClassOfThirteen]

Ahh ..

Then i take back what i said x]

I thought you meant it as like, he doesnt care sort of thing ..

[Maksimfan]

aww thanks :) I was pretty tired when I wrote the comment so what I meant probarbly didn't come out as clearly as it did in my head. haha

[BipedalHumanoid]

Do a real degree

[thousandsOFviews]

That makes sense and proves alot when he is famous and you are not, silly little child.

[cappslap]

Im Pretty Sure He Says *Thank You Very Much* at the end for those who ask .

I think Darkside Live By Tim is the funniest one for me .

[xjustpipx]

no i think he ses

hes really tall and from newzeland thats the bit i was on about x

[xjustpipx]

what does he say at the end ?xx

LOVE HIMMM XD

[only1pj]

aka 6 foot 4 kiwi :)

[jmfanclub]

ahh! Tim is soooo good!

[efagels]

adam hills and tim minchin on the same show! my 2 faves together!!!!

[AngelOfU2]

3 of my favorite men in that clip <3

Tim rocks!

[procrastinating2007]

i love that if you watch the whole episode you can see him editing that song while playing the games!

[mynamesjono]

"He's really tall and he's from New Zealand" that one line makes the whole song worth it haha

[bozzioisgod44]

Totally agree XD

[11mrblue]

@mynamesjono

Agreed!

[Tron9222]

i love the fact that alan had a spotlight on him

[PureZOOKS]

if he and bill bailey got in a room together then they WILL write the best song in the world

[heyitsdanyarly]

clearly their love child would take over the world.

[efagels]

i would kill to see that, they were on a team together on never mind the buzzcocks, i think that was the same day noel fielding was on it

[PureZOOKS]

HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS ?!?!?!

[fiverubies]

He hasn't been on the same team as Bill, he has been on twice the first he was on Phil's team the second he was on Mark Ronson's team when Bill had left. He hasn't been on with Noel either. The one where he is on Mark's team is up on YouTube the first one I put up but it got deleted but I may try again if it is wanted :) x

[yanyayai]

i <3 nevermind the buzzcocks + tim + noel <3

[drowningfish13]

love the end when he starts laughing :)

[jaredwatkin]

he's a six foot four kiwi

brilliant song

[tennant1971]

haha the only thing he knew about him was he was tall and from new zeland!!! he is such a legend to get a comic genius song like that from too tinsey wincey peices of info and make it into a song about been in love with a tall kwei!!!!!!!!!! ohh i love him!

[TrampolineRasslingUK]

lollllll

that was Brilliant...

Best musician EVER (apart from Nikki Sixx.. slightly different styles though..)

[DrewIndustries]

who is Nikki Sixx?

[seopher]

From Motley Crue

[6WBoyz]

Tim Minchin if you are narcissistic enough to watch your own U Tube videos then I think you are the funniest Australian alive (except for John Howard) and I'll be seeing you at the Enmore Theatre in April in Sydney (as long as neither of us dies from aneurysms)

!

[lammy12765]

Probably my favourite tim song.

[IlovekellyRBanks]

nah ten foot cock and a few hundred virgins is pure genious

[lammy12765]

I said its my favourite, not that its the best.

[spazzy1580]

yeah that is good.. but i really like his new one "if i didnt have you"

[XthisXgirlXisXdeadX]

@ Spazzy: Lol yeah.... have you seen the video for that? He does a sort of wiggle. xD and it's cute as hell! xDD

[lanc3fight4freedom]

all his songs are great

[technicolorexplosion]

Does anyone know where I can find the Myf tribute?

Please??

[Chemiecta]

If you actually listen to what he says, it's actually about Adam Hill.

[CAR3TAK3R]

no it isn't, he starts off mentioning how he sung songs for Myf and Adam Hill (called the Adam Hills Song) so the song he sings here is a tribute to Alan.

[Chemiecta]

You're absoloutley right. I actually realised that after i posted it, because I had seen him do the Adam Hills Song and I thought that was it.

[gamesMAN123]

@Chemiecta if u actually listened to what he says, its actually about alan brough u dumb shit

[majorleaguefan]

he's obviousley a natural musician if he can produce a song that amazing so easily! i really love him!

[rootingfortruffles]

I loved his laugh at the end. I can't believe he wrote that so quickly!

[silvaportugal]

what i would give to be able to afford a steinway

[DrewIndustries]

whats a steinway?

[silvaportugal]

the piano hes playing on, theyre the best, and incredibly expensive

[mooxim]

about 800 pounds

buh dum tsh

[bubble992]

Ah! view 44,444. gr8 song. minchin is a genius.

[HGUFNH]

Darren Hayes was in that episode. XD

He's lovely!

[BlackRavenStudios]

(\/)

o.o ~

[piperleese]

lol...pause on 1:57....VEIN!!

[lilninja666]

wow so true, probably just a wrinkle of sorts though

[Marhleet]

thats some effort he must be putting in to get that effect on his forehead ....

almost Buffy vampire material ;-)

[BlueDraoi]

rotfl!

[TheLeisurePirate]

Tim Minchin is my religion.

The Pirate Has Spoken

[justanotherrandom432]

amen to that

[nicktwiggy]

Look up Eddie Perfect with Spicks and Specks, he did the tribute to Myf.

[CAR3TAK3R]

i got that on me compie somewhere too. Anyone want it up...

[chocolateaddict24]

if he was a fruit hed be green and fuzzy...

hahahaaaaaaaaaa

[amyxlynnx]

ha, this is awesome

is there a song for myf? and if so, does anyone have it? cheers (y)

[CAR3TAK3R]

i believe there is one for her as he does mention that he's now done one for both Adam, Alan and Myf.

[KatieTurner1997]

@amyxlynnx Yeah, If you search "Eddie Perfect - Spicks and Specks" you'll find it. Its not entirely about Myf, but it has a bit on her.

[Jessicaa07X]

6 foot 4 kiwi :]

(L)

[nicksta1500]

hilarious ha ha ha ha lOvee him

[AshleyElecktric]

LOL.

The first time i saw this on spicks and specks i nearly died laughing. :)

[breakingthehabit2008]

hhahaha

[katisnotateapot]

haaaaa

[Rialityisadream]

Hee. His Adam Hills song was fantastic too. He's great. Very funny.

[VinceRocksMySocks]

hahahahha fantastic, i love tim

[LittleMissAmy92]

One of my best friends, James, actually is six-foot-four and kiwi so whenever I see him I break out into this song. He used to get embarassed but now he just sings along and does his crazy, very-awkward looking dancing with all 6"4 gangly limbs.

[lollipopsrcolourful]

If he was a fruit, he'd be green and fuzzy

:)

Friggin hilarious. I love his "Dark Side" song.

[breakingthehabit2008]

HAHA!

[vampiregurl94]

my dad saw him out the front of a comedy thing that he had just performed at and he was standing in the middle of the street wearing a suite with no shoes on an his hair was all weird cuz it was all windy

I would've loved to got here jus for the hell of seeing that! I love Tim so much, dude!

[pspurling]

Genius

[HappySounds]

I love the ending "he's really tall and he's from Zew Zealand.." it's so arkward i love it lol!

[venoms666]

[hacket110]

He looks very sinister in this video :D..

[emmalousmith123]

[JeffW5435]

Love the Donnie Darko one.

[ISFUKINGAY]

[TheSockPuppetShow]

w00tage "He's everything a national emblem should be, if he was a fruit he would be green and fuzzy!."

[mickmeredith]

[Rooster698]

[PopePrincess]

My 6.4 kiwi

How does he come up with this stuff? He's so amazing! I can't believe his not mega-famous with millions of devoted fans!!

[xxlivexlovexlaughxxx]

[Dylandunshea]

I watched that episode a while ago and i still find him funny and talented

praise for CAR3TAK3R and TIM MINCHIN

[Blipsicle]

Stare at his obsolete wings ... genius line ><

[McFlyFan441]

this guy is an absolute legend im telling u!!!

[SecondLifer2000]

Sexy damn man! Possessed as! Those eyes say it all haha xx

[Northfan42]

Is it only me, or does Adam Hills look like a James Bond villain after he says "Ladies and Gentlemen, Tim Minchin"?

[beckeyAnn]

hahahaha yer

[xXEddyxXxLoverXx]

If he were a fruit he'd be green and fuzzy!!

Loll xD

That's hilarious!

I just adore Tim Minchin xD

[ejomejo]

Hi Jess! :D

[imaprofesser]

"He's really tall and hes from new zealand.." lol... his laugh then was cute :P

[ejomejo]

O.o

Not Adam's reaction! Alan's. Damn, I'm dumb...

[ejomejo]

Oh my god I love his piano playing and his voice! They're both amazing! He's also extremely funny and I love Adam's reaction xD

I saw that episode ^_^

[seachmhallach1]

does anyone have something from when he was on sideshow last night??

[mjsmeganjeanshaw]

He does the cutest face when he pauses after saying, "All I know is he's from New Zealand and he's really big..."

I love it!

[hjijtjh]

i still LOVE the line "he says: 'hello, i'm allan... brough (bro)"

ahhh yay for new zealandishness

[crazymusicchick]

hehe

[Nbarnowl]

lol i love it when he is on spicks an specks :)

[rockandrollnerd]

Timmy is fucking amazing.

[katakami]

I'm stoked how he can just write a song like that and perform it within a few hours. He's so funny. >< I hope he has a new cd for his new show.

[chaslynn1974]

He's so damn adorable when he laughs. I wish I had half his talent since he wrote that while jetlagged.

[hjijtjh]

timness! tim is brilliant but he really does look ridiculously tired. weak! :P

what did he say before "oh yeah the adam hillsong"?

oh how i miss spicks & specks! wednesday nights were always my favourite back in aus...

[CAR3TAK3R]

I was gonna upload the Adam Hillsong but i lost the file, i'll try to find it again. Tim's great though.

[hjijtjh]

thanks, but the Adam Hillsong's already on youtube so ive seen it... lots :D

i was just wondering what the conversation leading up to this clip.

[CAR3TAK3R]

It pretty much was Adam did his whole announcing "We leave you tonight with a special performance, by the comedic genius of Tim Minchin." And then they just mentioned how "the last time [Tim Minchin was] on, and played, [he] did a tribute to Adam Hills" and then obviously his responce is on the clip above.

Hope that helps.

[hjijtjh]

thanks!! :)

ahhhh im slightly obsessive when it comes to spicks & specks and tim minchin and its driving me insane not being able to see them. so thankyou muchly for uploading and discussing! you rock

[CAR3TAK3R]

well i'll flick through my spicks and specks files and see what i can find. Most are from last year though. But i guess you ain't too fussed.

And your welcome! XD

[TheGreenTeaKid]

I think there isonly 2 tim songs from Spicks and Specks, Adim hills song, and this one.

[CAR3TAK3R]

that's all teh ones i'm aware of

[richochet33]

take your canvas baaags take your canvas baaags

[LadyHerenya]

oh, yay... this was really funny!
