tim Minchin's peadophilea jingle

[sexybethizit09]

Taught myself this on piano 3

[ImMrSeal]

That was greensleeves, written in the early 16th century by Henry VIII

[TaylorIsSoAwkward]

It was the Harry Potter theme song :P

[Jonnyedge97]

@sethdesade, i think it was greensleeves?

[sethdesade]

what was the melody he was playing ?

[ZaquiaStorm]

@sethdesade The jingle of the ice cream man's truck when they drive down your neighbourhood selling little ice cream bars to children. There's a longer video that starts with this and it explains it all--it's "Tim Minchin on human logic", and it is on Youtube, if you want to find it. :P

[sethdesade]

@ZaquiaStorm That jingle comes from a classic tune, I'm just looking for the composer. There are tons of "ice cream jingles" but this one is different.

[secretsantaone]

@sethdesade It's Greensleeves.

[SEBASTIANBACH93]

@ukswiftshot its not her. That girl is his wife.

[sausagefestify]

I love his little excited run at the start :')

[blackasmidnight14]

I LOVE how he doesn't wear shoes on stage :D

[drumslayer27]

We get do your ears hang low, at least it's happy. It seems they found a way to make ice cream depressing lol

[rosieesmith]

The way he says 'let's go get a flake 99'

DEAD.

[TheRockRiff]

*sees "Tim Minchins peadophilia jingle"*. ....CLICK

[LoachLovers]

the same kind of parrent that would let there kid near the pope

[SaintSpastic]

Where abouts was this performed? O:

[ukswiftshot]

0.23 Rebecka Black!!! xD

[scottmarshall456]

@ukswiftshot No.



[maggyb1]

By the way, the exact same melody is also used in the xmas song "What Child Is This"

[maggyb1]

Last year, I caught part of his act on TV. I had never heard of him. He was singing about taking your bags to the supermarket. I still have it saved on my DVR. Now here he is again. I wish I could channel him! What a unique talent. He must come from the same planet as me!!!

[SirZionn]

I don't live in England, so would someone explain what that jingle is?

[ElAajun10]

@SirZionn the ice cream van's music.

[SirZionn]

@ElAajun10 ok, thank you.

[rasicar]

@SirZionn It's actually the beginning of a piece called Greensleeves. It's usually played on a lute, or some other stringed instrument.

[roxorsoxor]

gotta get them before the hair does

[emmybobs]

The biggest fail in the spelling of paedophilia I have ever seen :)

[PurpleVodkaa]

wow, i hear about all these people who just found out about Tim Minchin, and i feel glad that they can listen to his amazing.talent :) then i remember all the others who have no idea who he is and i feel sorry for them :L

[LesterPatelisMINE]

Lol so relatable -3333

[KestralsSpace]

AWESOME!

totally agree!

Can't believe that I only found out about this guy today!

Blasphemy!

[SurrenderMonkey20]

@EmoKieran you're right, Greensleeves was written by Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn; the lyrics show the desperation and adoration he had for her; God knows why people think it's by Mozart and why the icecream vans play it.... :)

[EmoKieran]

was it mozart? i thought it was meant to be written by Henry VIII to Anne Bolyen xD

[rachelmroberts]

why is a capital T the issue here when it's spelt paedophila?

[clivedxb]

Did he do this when he supported Pete Townshend at the Albert Hall last night?

[QueenOfTheAubergines]

I love how excited Tim always seems on stage :)

[AaronTheOneAndOnly]

I really need the sheet music for this, I've worked out the beginning but the rest I don't have.

(Btw, it pisses my friend offwhenI start playing it :D )

[ninafelldown]

what song was that (like the actual name and stuff)?

[Elvishswimmer]

@ninafelldown

What Child Is This

Its a christmas song

[TokerSmurf]

@Elvishswimmer - it's Mozart's Greensleeves - what child is this was not written to that tune, it was adapted to that music some time later.

[MyOldName]

@ninafelldown

The song you're looking for is "GreenSleeves"

[MrDieDieMyDarling]

Lets get a flake 99 :P

[JujuJade]

@Commodore93 Actually, originally is was Greensleeves, a love song written by King Henry VIII of England. Then it was commandeered by people who wanted it to be about baby Jesus.

[MyOldName]

@JujuJade

They can't seem to make anything on their own. It's all stolen... Songs, holidays, religions...

[kaitiiecam]

hahaha.. i think of this everytime i have a certain teacher...we call him count stevenson cos, if you saw him, you'd think he was a pedo....... i think he might be related to pedobear

[HairBrigade]

Our local paedo jingle is a very out of tune version O Sole Mio :/

[MyOldName]

@HairBrigade

We get "It's a Small World..." Our ice cream trucks are kinda lame...

[TheGumdropButtons]

One of the only songs i can actually play! D:

[TheIndigobeef]

Bah when I was a kid Flake 99s cost 99p now they cost like £3!

[TheDeadDudeWalking]

2 people are kiddy fiddlers :)

[blackids2]

@TheDeadDudeWalking 2 people are Mr.Whippy men and don't like their secret getting out

[shanustheanus]

@TheDeadDudeWalking Oh really?!

Then phone the police! let them know the problem is contained, and they have thousands of people on the register that don't need to be on there. I would love to know how you got hold of this information though. Still all that matters is our children are far safer now than we thought. thank you so much for sharing!!...Oh no wait I see what's happened here, your one of those people that just copy everyone because you can't do your own thing. That's a shame =/

[TheDeadDudeWalking]

@shanustheanus someone's a bit butthurt over absolutely nothing

[bonjovihellyeah]

@TheDeadDudeWalking well its three now - i liked btw :P totes in love with tim

[AwkwardJesus]

Flake 69 more like?

[AwkwardJesus]

@AwkwardJesus too much perhaps...

[Mooshuuful]

I HAVE HIS JEANS

[Quacki29]

@Darkmikasonfire

How does it destroy the English language?

[ForevaNewsh]

more like a flake 69 :S

[Tyssilago]

I can't believe Minchin just ruined Greensleeves for me O_O

[LegoCritic]

What's hilarious about ice cream trucks that play Greensleeves, is that Greensleeves was written about a prostitute... slightly messed up.

Not to mention, it's also in tons of children's music books.

[Sameinator]

LOLOLPLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOL

mr peter file lices near him is my guess

[xxGrey]

The person they showed in the crowd looked like Sarah :O

[BeautifulLyrics01]

I think @hahulee has probably got the message now that ten of you have told them it's greensleeves.......... Love it tho!

[FighterxVideos]

The 0 people who dislike this are pedophiles.

[KiwiiiStrawberry]

I saw this live and he goes on about causation correlation fallacies after this little bit, and it's hilarious. Disappointing that this is so little of the stand up part.

[blackids2]

@KiwiiiStrawberry just tell me what part u want and i'll endeavour to get it and put it up

[ashbeshtosh]

@KiwiiiStrawberry ye the causation and correlation part is great, tim is a legend

[TheCejatron]

Why are you all asking these guy's what the song is called and how to get the notes?

USE THE FRICKING INTERNET!!!

[tommat00]

Do not mock Greensleeves and remember...

'It is unfair to say that all mr whippy men are paedophiles though it is probably correct to say all paedophiles are mr whippy men.' :)

[imogenegiselle]

Greensleeves is the pedophilia jingle?

[stoneman640]

@imogenegiselle well he is refering to icecream songs and it might be that in England

[darkmikasonfire]

every now and then ummm a couple times a week. i love that part simply because it destroys the english language.

[kazarific15994]

Heeehehe, me and my friend were there at that show. :3

[ExplosiveMooseGirl]

@kazarific15994 Sup bitch. Guess who this is. ;3

[kazarific15994]

@ExplosiveMooseGirl Heyyyy! xD lol, how dare you call me a bitch :C Whore.. >>

If you're not who i think you are, thats gonna be reeally weird...

[ExplosiveMooseGirl]

I was at this show! The mating call of the kiddie fiddler. Lmao.

[sexybethizit09]

i love how he runs enthusiastically towards the piano at the very begining like a child towards an icecream van :/

[select899]

Why does it annoy me so much that tim in the title isn't spelled with a capital T?

[hugy789]

@select899 I hope you did that on purpose lol :P

[shippodna]

@select899 maybe its the fact that the m is capitalized...

[manthasagittarius]

@select899 The spelling of pedophilia (or paedophilia, British spelling) doesn't annoy you, though?

[CatOnAHorse]

@select899 Because people who listen to Tim are generally intelligent people and enjoy the use of proper grammar. ;)

[select899]

@CatOnAHorse I agree this this. :)

[CatOnAHorse]

@select899 Lol, 'with' this? Haha, sounds like autocorrect to me :P

[AleeshaWeesha]

@select899 because your anal retentive? (and yes I purposely didn't capitalize "because" and used the wrong form of "you're" on purpose) :D j/k!

[luclfersangel616]

@select899 Because Gods need a capital letter.

[rubbishrider861]

@select899 because a god like TIm deserves a capital in his name!!

[EleanorStokesTV]

I went to an ice cream van yesterday with my friend and said, "Let's get a Flake 99..." in Tim's voice. Both the Mr Whippy Man and my friend looked at me like I was crazy.

[MargaretLeighh]

Tim Minchin ftw <3333

[shippodna]

whats a flake 99

[SupportDavidsfarm]

@shippodna ice cream with a flake in it

[taintedjezebel]

interestingly enough the ice cream van by me plays Teddy Bears Picnic, and whenever I hear it I just hear Bears Don't Dig on Dancing...

[Kyle1072]

Sounds like the Harry Potter theme...

[Jerrymanda101]

I'm sure most normal people wouldn't associate the Mr Whippy jingle (Greensleeves) with pedophillia. Why Tim, create an unnecessary link between something beautiful and something ugly just to get a laugh?

[MyOldName]

@Jerrymanda101

...You cannot be saying you've never heard that joke before. People have been chucking pedos at ice cream trucks for years. It's been classified the kiddy-fiddler's dream job by damn near anyone who likes black comedy.

[Jerrymanda101]

@MyOldName Oh... Then it's not very original is it.

[MyOldName]

@Jerrymanda101

You're right. It's totally stolen, just like Warcraft and Dungeons and Dragons are total ripoffs of Tolkien because they both have elves and orcs. As we all know, the very base of a joke, game of story is the only important thing, and only fags enjoy having it fleshed out. That's why every movie ever was a bomb.

[blackids2]

lets go get a flake 99

[mozmootar]

he... is... fit X) there anyway X)

[nonutsnorris]

Haahaha..thanks for that. Haven't heard it before.. :) x

[hahulee]

how do you play that ?

[blackids2]

@hahulee with incredible skill

[hahulee]

@blackids2 i ment like what are the notes lol 

[blackids2]

@hahulee i dunno, but i bet u could find out

[avinoam0land]

@hahulee

It's called greensleeves, starts on A, look for it on google it should be there

[Wrenn00]

@hahulee It's 'Greensleeves' a traditional tune usually attributed to King Henry the VIII. You can look it up. It's supposedly a love song, but I've always thought of it (and it's original lyrics) as a unrequited, with the guy begging all the time for a favor from his lady and she basically says "No."

My personal favorite 'rewrite' of the lyrics an old friend of mine did had words like "

Greensleeves, she was my bitch, couldst suck the chrome off a trailer hitch... "

[reilly616]

@hahulee The tune is called Greensleeves.

[skearer]

@hahulee as you may already know (if not, that's okie too ^^) that is most likely greensleeves...at one of those super high octives... shouldn't be too hard

[TheMrDrNiko]

@hahulee its greensleaves, look it up.

[unicornpearlz]

@hahulee - The song is Greensleeves... it's several hundred years old (like composed by Henry VIII, old). But, for the notes themselves, google: Sheet Music, Greensleeves, easy.

[MIKE1238673]

@hahulee simple - it's 'Greensleeves'!

[ayxjay]

@hahulee It's called Greensleeves (I think) really beautiful song but it's majorly creepy when he slows it down though, hey?

[hahulee]

@ayxjay thanks XD

[AevisWolf]

@hahulee its just the right handed notes to greensleeves you probably know this already but then again im only trying to help :D

[Jessthegurl1192]

@hahulee just look up greensleeves on the piano, its really easy to play



[thechosennerf]

@hahulee It's just a slowed down version of Greensleeves.

[Marhleet]

@hahulee common tune, Greensleeves

[rhinoroks]

@hahulee its greensleeves, its easy just get the music

[tommat00]

@hahulee Its called greensleeves. Its a begginers thing in Piano I learnt to play that at school. There are some websites with notes and if you want to play the piano/keyboard there a books where that is one of the first lessons. Though you probably know that now considering your comment is five months old...

[hannahkoala]

@hahulee the song is called greensleeves. henry 8th wrote it for wifey number 2 :p im sure u can google the notes

[shinobijikininki]

@hahulee it's greensleeves, one of the easiest most famous pieces of classical music to play, a quick google will get it :)

[Bigthingreg]

@hahulee It's greensleeves you idiot XD

[rasicar]

@hahulee

It's the first couple of notes to Greensleeves.

[blackids2]

may not be one of his proper songs, but it's still funny.

[YoNiQe]

@blackids2 its not a song at all, and the "jingle" is from Greensleeves which is a British traditional.

[pcruler0]

@blackids2 uuuh what? that dear friend is called "Greensleeves" its a real song from gods knows when

[TheTradge]

@blackids2 It's just a few bars of greensleeves

[DoofStar112]

OMG thanks for uploading this :) i LOVE Tim Minchin :D

Kiddy Fiddler ... :) LOL
