Tim Minchin - The Youtube Lament (With Lyrics)

Tim Minchin's Youtube Lament...


Enjoy, please comment and rate :-)

My twitter: @Laurence_Wright




Update: I went to watch Tim at Parr Hall on the 4/9/09. He was so amazing, and it was a performance that I could have sat through over and over again. If you get the chance, see him! Please comment on when and where you're going to watch Mr. Minchin...that's all :)



Lyrics: All my carefully measured metaphor,
All my Flat 9 dominant seven chords
All my shtick, my lyrical trickery
All of those bows, all that applause

All my intertextuality
All my self-aware hypocrisy
All my rhymes, my irregular times
All my softly spoken sophistry.

All my make-up, all my lights,
All my photo shoots in tights,
All my pretensions, all my intentions
All my nervous opening nights.

All my brow-dependent jokes
All my mirror balls and smoke
All my tilts at wit and whimsy
All my poetry, my swear words and my smut

Will never get as many hits as
*Spoiler*

hahaha

this is probably making kitties waking up get more views

[umpalumpa2oo7]

That is the irony of it...

[PrinceOfTheLandae]

I think this video might've contributed 80,000 of the 330,000 views that the "kitties wake up" video has.

Tim is awesome, and definitely has a point here...

@xeractus

That would be fucking fantastic...

Him and Bill are some of my fav comedians :)

[spaghettiisFOB]

@xeractus OMG NO WAY That'd be so beastly

[Darkcloyd]

@fokkhead yes however the likes for lament is a mere 627 while the likes for kittens is 2391.meaning a larger percentage of people liked kittens rather then the lament. poor Tim.

[TheRealBarnez]

@xeractus As long as it comes to Kent, yup I agree.

I came to this from kitten waking up. Oh the irony...

@TheHiHatMan

I don't know, man: I think that Tim may be projecting and actually spends many hours watching videos with kittens on this site.

[spartanatreyu]

@xeractus this guy is the love child of bill bailey and russell brand

[GinoZump]

@profjaykay spoiler!

[TheHiHatMan]

Support Tim Minchin: Do not click the link to Kitties waking up! ;)

[verylittleknowledge]

If it wasn't for YouTube, I wouldn't have stumbled across Tim Minchin.

[scarberianknight]

@profjaykay yeah I couldnt help it

[JekHazit]

Taboo has 200,000 more views than kitties waking up.

[StageHolder]

Should have chosen a less obscure video for the punchline. "... never get as many hits as Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up".

[antondevey]

sure it's not "proud, abandoned jokes"? As in, the jokes he liked but didn't feel they were good enough to make the cut.

[totoroben]

I apologize Tim, I just watched kitten waking up. I think when you told me not to it made me want to do it even more. Keep up the awesome work, and if your ever in Cleveland OH I will make an effort to go.

[theanonymouspeasant]

Sad but true.

Don't worry, Tim. We all still love you.

[pacanuck1]
