[DamnDrtyVagrant]

3 people are jesus nuts.

[000MIIX]

The good book must have written some good stuff about Tim Minchin, 'cause this is good!!!!

[DeanMalenko]

at 2:05 I always hear "I had a catchy gaper".. lol :D

[J3urkasaur]

I think he gets his point across right at 1:10.

[Paskalmk1]

fuck everyone who asks for thumbs up! i hope they just float the fuck away

[italiangirl9696]

@Paskalmk1 i see what you did there...

[italiangirl9696]

This is one of my favorites of his, but could someone explain why he puts the boot on? Is it a joke or something?

[MustradElbow]

@italiangirl9696 I think it is because he is trying to simulate being a 'Southern-Religious-Nut' and in order to do that he is putting on the (bad) accent and the boot. XD

[italiangirl9696]

@MustradElbow Ohhh okay thank you!

[bareakon]

@italiangirl9696 Also, it helps to create a percussive sound, like a drumbeat

[ScarsFTW]

@bareakon

I figured that was the sole reason was to get that nice thump with the beat...

[sweetjade196]

@italiangirl9696 Uh...duh.



[italiangirl9696]

@sweetjade196 Uh duh what?

[welchburger]

@italiangirl9696 he puts it on b/c he's saying 'i gotta be modest for this one'

[hecnj001]

@EBE246, I don't think he was putting on an accent at all.

[dotchoo]

@hecnj001 it's most noticeable when he says "you heathens" and "misbehavin" and "verse 5 to 7" "swing your partner by the hand" , "raise that knife up in your hands", and typical stuff like that, but it's there throughout, i think.

[murphyjelley]

@hecnj001 He is Australian and he lives in London. I kinda think he is putting the Southern accent on.

[AngelFreakSH]

Watching this while my super religious family are downstairs having just returned from church.

I love this man :D

[OisirM]

'Swing yer daughter by the hand,

but if she gets raped by a man,

and then refuses to marry him,

STONE HER TO DEATH' :-D

No, really. That's what the face looks like at that point... :-D

[1001orpheus]

@OisirM Yeah, he does that face a lot. It's the Tim Minchin face:

:-D

[MrBrizzennen]

I'm an atheist in the middle of the bible belt. This man makes life so much easier for me.

[Vamphetamine]

This man is a bonifide genious

[MrPaulWiklund]

That's phenomenal. Thumbs up if you agree

[XXmrsWay]

''This next song requires a boot''

[EBE246]

Funny, his voice when he sings, u can't tell he's got an accent.

[edseab]

@EBE246 He's deliberately putting on a southern american accent to make fun of of bible belt religious nuts.

[Jankin47]

@edseab Or at least trying to do as much.

[Daleksaresupreme1]

@Jankin47 can't you just take a joke

[DrPerki]

@edseab Exactly. I know this all too well because I'm unfortunate enough to live in Southern America. He's pretty spot on with this.

[rubbishrider861]

@EBE246 u can normally, he has a gorgeous aussie accent:)

[EBE246]

@rubbishrider861 Lol.

[gpwnedable]

@EBE246 You mean he adopts an accent when he sings :-)

[EBE246]

@gpwnedable Oh he does, O_O, hm, i thought it was an accent he had, oh well, still funny though.

[gpwnedable]

@EBE246 What I mean to say is, we all have an accent compared to people from other countries. If you're American or Canadian, then in Australia you would be considered to have a very distinct foreign accent.

[EBE246]

@gpwnedable Ahh that's pretty much true. Lol, i forget which comedian said this, but he did say that even americans got an accent, he's that i think asian comedian, don't know his name now, but you might know who i mean.

[ileumofgod]

f*ck yeah

[Jaido1992]

Good shit.
