Hey, audience! How can you just sit there and clap politely in the face of such unbridled awesome? (Written from a position of total jealousy, of course.)
How does he finish the "do something drastic to rid the world of plastic" breakdown on the Laugh-A-Palooza and music video versions so easily, but never anywhere else?
He is being ironic you know, it seems to be a favourite trick of his.
I take this song as more of a comment on the stupidity and short sightedness of having such a narrow focus on environmental issues. You will not save the planet by canvas bags. Is his point.
In fact single use plastic bags are more environmentally friendly that the UK super markets' "Bag for life". How about a bag (canvas or otherwise) that will last a life time. ... rant rave rant etc etc
@bobnjude616 which is ironic because every minchin fan I've ever run into takes their canvas bags to the supermarket with slightly frightening fervour...
I know he's doing a good thing with this song, making people think about changing habits to better the earth... But, seriously, I got a little distracted there, when he got that fan going lol xD
Well he acctually has an amazing. But he's that kind of man that wants to share his own ideas, poetry, lyrics that are so extravagant, that's why he doesn't want anyone to write songs for him . I bet if he would sing on a pop stage he would be better than Robbie Williams or even Alicia Keys. That's just my opinion.
its genius but i only new that coz its written on my keyboard woop 4 me i corrected somone now i know how it feels to be a clever twat with nothing better to do and it feels good fuck yea!!! im powerfull right now!!
take your canvass bags to supermarket
disclaimer i did spell shit wrong but i like it like that thats how we roll in my world and im just gunna keep typing now till i run out of words shit! ! ? i was hoping to run out of words right then still if you try geuss things you can .
I know its a wind fan/machiene he uses at the end but i dont suppose anyone knows where i can buy one - i type it into google all i get is about wind generators... help would be much appriciated
Watched his Dvd a couple of years ago and fell hard for him, I went and saw him down in Wollongong, brillant!!!! And to reply to previous comments he IS strangely attractive. See, we don't only go for looks we need a sense of humour! Personality conquers all!
that's a shame really =( i reckon he'd be able to fill the MEN easily. He's absolutely AMAZING but isn't as well known as he should be =/ but this tour is his best yet i'm sure =D He'll be in a league of his own soon! Unstoppable!
Yeah I saw him in Warrington, was a pretty small stage but that makes it easier to interact with the audience. I was just to the right of the stage on the upper seats front row and the view was amazing. He really does know how to put on a show!
i know, i dont know what it is about him its just fitt lol, i watched that it was amaizing that was the first time i heard of him aswell, he is amaizing
