This is a thing you don't see that often even in an act like his -- he is goofing on all the conventions of vrtuoso piano playing and acting as if his hands had their own mind and weren't always cooperating, so he is having to "make up for it" by miming these hilarious indignant reactions -- Victor Borge did that to perfection and would have people absolutely losing it without saying a word. Tim does it in very different ways, but he really commands that gift effortlessly. It's brilliant.
@kikitikiboom it took me a while too... i wondered why the audience kept laughing at those references then i realised he literally meant that they were inflatable :? anyhoo, we can move on ;)
Not to be a douche here, but didn't he sing 0:30-0:41 wrong?
As the last version I heard of this had "You never have problems with your weight at all", "plate at all" "masturbate at all", not weightable, plateable masturbateable...
@sarkasmi83 You will notice Tim often changes some of the songs, like in his new DVD he strays from the outlined lyrics included with it. All comedians due it, just updating and experimenting with their set.
@TheeMaskedGuitarist Well yeeeeah I have noticed it.... This one just seemed a little accidental to me..?.... OR maybe it is totally intentional, how would I know :)
I don't know why I even fixated on it though to be honest, heh. As it really doesn't even matter at all.
I was tired when I wrote it... :)
Just found out about Tim like 3 days ago and I guess it'd be nice to see him make a small mistake, as his performances are just _TOO PERFECT_ :D Brilliant, brilliant performer.
He looks so damn good with guyliner. :D I love him muchly and for some reason, two people say I look like him, which I don't. 2:34 - 2:52 he's using cluster notes :D Lovelovelovelovelovelove.
frankly i love his face when he pretend to press the wrong keys lol. priceless ^^ he is not only good at making ridiculously funny songs, but also good at acting too. my ouw my
he doesnt wear shoes because he thought it would just feel like his lounge and help with the nerves. It did, and now everybody is sort of dissapointed whenever he wears shoes.
@rosuuuu the eye makeup is to accentuate his eye movements since its all he has for body language because his hands are busy being REALLY good at piano.
@AEQUITASTBS I can't even agree that his songs are stupid. I think most of his songs have a really strong point about life in general... Like, for example, Taboo, If I Didn't Have You, etc... Not sure about this one xD.
I think he said in an interview that before one show he was trying to cope with nervousness, instead of the old trick "try to see the audience naked" he did some kind of own twist and walked in barefoot instead. "It makes you feel at home"
the lack of shoes is merely a comfort factor, as established - the reason he ways eye makeup is because he cant use his hands for emphasis while he is playing, wo his eyes make up for that.
I love that you think he was making a recovery on the solo ploly832... It was completely intended, and just goes to further show his brilliance... It's considered major talent when you can play off key like he was then, especially when holding the left hand perfectly... If you want to see it done by another master, look up Les Dawson, who made it an art form...
He actually explained it backstage on the Canadian broadcast version of this (I saw it today as it happens) it's to make him feel like he's at home....
he answered it on an interview.. its on here somwhere.. he plays without shoes so its as if the stage is his own living room.. he said its the same as some people vision people naked to help calm the nerves..
huh!go aussie....so funny even without shoes.the musical comedian.
