The Pope Song (without text all over it) -- • Tim Minchin - The Pope...
Canvas Bag -- • Tim Minchin - Canvas Bags

[@snowieken]

"CLAP YOU BASTARDS" Alice: "Okay" I love everything about this Canvas Bags performance: the little hand gestures at 6:12, the unexpected high note at 6:33, and then the unbuttoning of the shirt and him clumsily dragging his own fan to the stage for a then perfectly timed dramatic wind effect,... This is absolutely genius, and for some reason on reaction channels very underrepresented. Thanks for granting me one to watch!

[@eddiewiller]

Whenever I hear Tim Minchin's Canvas Bag, I always think about the Axis of Awesome's 4 Chord Song, which references Canvas Bag at one point. (Or at least the live performance version that I've seen did? I don't remember if the official music video for the 4 Chord Song version does or not.) But so if you want to see a good comedic song from someone other than Tim Minchin or Bo Burnham, you could check that out (they're Aussie as well). Also, I'm so excited for your upcoming Bo Burnham reactions now that you've worked your way up to Inside. Inside is such an amazing special. So many fantastically funny and insightful songs.

[@clintonburr852]

The 4 chord with canvas bag is the Melbourne comedy festival performance, and if I’m not mistaken it was a late addition to it as Tim just performed it that’s why the crowd really laughed at that point kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6HMlaKhltCIaqs

That's where I've heard it! Was trying to figure it out for so long haha. Thanks!

[@clintonburr852]

@@Bobsyagod I’m not sure but likely since that is an event that lots of comedians would have been at and I think it was at the big theatre with many performing that ‘main’ day event of the 2-4 week comedy festival

Can I just say, I always look forward to your videos! You’re so funny and your cheerfulness and energy can make me feel happy even on the worst of days. I don’t usually like smaller channels very much, but you are one of my favorite KZbinrs. Thank you for being such a fun, positive person, and for making me smile!

Well that’s adorable

[@christophstahl8169]

Many of us heard the Canvas Bag song the first time at the Just for laughs Gala 2006. Tim Minchin was the last comedian on that night and canvas bag was his closing song. He introduced it quite seriously and then it turned into a big shownumber with a choir, trumpet, fireworks and canvas bags falling from the ceiling. It was epic. And since it was the end of the show, that catchy melody stuck in peoples head and we were humming the tune for days. The Pope song is over a decade old by now and since he sang it first it always felt very current and relevant. 2012 he performed a version with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and that feels so over the top. I can only recommend you check that out. They played If the Pope owned a disco right after and that is great too.

[@UTRG-UnderTheRain]

Tim is amazing his music is great, really funny and his messages are totally on point

[@jduncanandroid]

Amazingly effective... I heard this a decade ago, and when I go to the store, I still hear this creeping in the back of my psyche ;)

[@lauravturner]

Tim was performing in London last year, only an hour or so away from where I live and where my twin sister is currently living, so we went to watch the show. Of course, at the end, I went to the merch table and bought an official Tim Minchin canvas bag. One of my favourite pieces of official merch I ever bought.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

The super over the top production with Tim's typical "I don't know what i'm doing attitude." was hilarious.

[@crazyratlady3026]

Yaaaaaay more Tim 😍😍😂😂 I love your squeaks 🤣🤣😁 Your absolute joy over Canvas Bags makes me so happy. Yup, Tim is a rockstar to the core. Check out Rock'n' roll Nerd

White Wine in the Sun and Not Perfect if you want something more sincere but still very witty and fun. And Heaven on Their Minds from Jesus Christ Superstar if you want to see him rock out as Judas on stage. Also his cover of Bad Guy by Billie Eilish for Triple J Like a Version is 🔥!

[@MyattButYT]

I am so late to the Alice in Gingerland train, especially with the Tim Minchin videos. Have been watching the guy his entire career and these reactions are awesome! On another note, I think you would really enjoy his songs If You Really Loved Me and Cont.

[@paulchartley]

Tim is amazing to watch live. I fortunately got to see his most recent tour "Back" multiple times, both before and after lockdown, not just because it's a fantastic show but because there were significant differences in the set lists for the shows before and after the lockdown. One of the reasons why footage of his live shows is so limited is partly because he asks the audience not to film his performance and they respect him so much that they don't, therefore what makes it onto KZbin are clips from the official DVDs or clips he releases himself on his official channel. If you're in awe of his musical ability then I would recommend "Cheese". The clips on KZbin of this song are from a concert he did at the Royal Albert Hall with the Heritage Orchestra in London which is available to watch in it's entirety on DVD and to stream on Amazon Prime Video. It's quite epic in that it switches through a number of very different musical styles and at nearly 7 minutes it's quite a long song, however in his recent concert tour it is even longer as he stops and breaks into a monologue half way through. If you want to understand more of the in jokes then it's probably worth you watching "Rock and Roll Nerd" where he talks about his childhood. Like some of his songs that you have covered so far, "Three Minute Song", "Five Poofs and Two Pianos", and its follow up "A Song for Wossy" are all both insanely catchy and equally outrageous yet were all songs that were written specifically for his appearances on late night chat shows on BBC TV . Of course if you like the religious stuff then I can heartily recommend "The good Book" and "Ten Foot C*ck and a Few Hundred Virgins" "15 minutes" is an insane ear worm and finally, because Tim always ends his shows with something sentimental, if you want something to tug at your heart strings then there is nothing better than "Carry You", "The Absence of You" and what is now a criminally little known Christmas classic, "White Wine in the Sun"

You might want to give Flo and Joan a try. I drank too much is probably a good place to start but most of their stuff is pretty funny.

[@alex.9181]

love the pope song awesome choose!

[@acrefray]

I know you're loving Tim Minchin and Bo Burnham, so if you're interested in another somewhat similar musical comedian, you should check out "Sammy J and Randy". REM, Light a candle, Secrets, Soon you'll be dead, and The Economy are a handful of fantastic starters, though their Melbourne comedy festival pieces are also excellent. There's considerably less swearing, but it's just as much humour. As always, excellent stuff here!

[@acrefray]

Also, I ought to mention: The Axis of Awesome do some great songs but the main one to recommend would be their "4 chord song". They have a few renditions of it, and all of them are fantastic.

[@Aliceingingerland]

Thank you! Always keen to discover new comedians 🙌🏼 thanks for that 😊

[@leandropeixoto9043]

How come no one reacts to Tripod? They are legends of comedy.

[@Chumber3403]

Not entirely coincidental that this was before an interval at a show where he has bags for sale among the merch 😉 This is one of the older versions of the song. As with lots of his songs where he finds out/is told of things he’ll update them. Later versions have “what I used to call” instead of “on the floor” (outdated inappropriate term).

[@cyrisssmith8830]

Bo Burnham has a song called f that says fuck probably more than this song, and also bad mouths the pope, but only in one part of it. It's from his what album from 2012

Dude, I'm a Geordie, I've never heard anyone below Yorkshire and especially overseas say "nowt". I'm a huge Tim Minchin fan too and never noticed it in the Pope song either til now. Do Aussies say "nowt" to mean "nothing" too? My mind is blowing right now lol

Speaking of memory, Tim Minchin can't write or read music ("the little dots on the stripey things" as he put it). So every note he ever plays is always from memory. 🤯

[@ThatguyPurps]

You should have a look at "Axis of awesome - 4 chord song" 💜🇦🇺

[@seigeengine]

The funny thing is the best option most people can probably make are the reusable plastic bags, not the canvas ones. It is monstrously more resource intensive to produce canvas bags, to the point where it's almost certain a bag won't be used enough times to make it worth it, whereas reusable plastic bags are pretty likely to reach that point as long as you actually keep using them.

[@ariaflame-au]

Plastic ones come from oil though, whereas canvas can be made from renewable resources. What it's made of isn't relevant though. The important thing is to take reusable bags to the supermarket, or store, or anywhere you're going to need something to carry things

[@BillTheScribe]

Okay, you have a few more layers of Tier 1 Tim before you get to Tier 2. You mentioned "You grew on me," so now you need to look for "Inflatable You," "If you really Loved me," and "Lullaby." Then move on to Tier 2: "Rock and Roll Nerd," "Dark Side," and "Nothing ruins Comedy." Then start Tier 3 (in this order): "Not Perfect," "Beauty," "White Wine in the Sun". That last one is a Christmas song, and you may have heard it or a version of it before without knowing it was him. Another Musical Comedian worth checking out is Heywood Banks. He's American, but has a similar lyrical style, only with far less swearing. I'd open his path with "Toast" or "Big Butter Jesus."
