Tim Minchin - Lullaby REACTION

[@MertAus]

This is my reaction to Lullaby by Tim Minchin. A video that was highly requested on my previous Tim Minchin reactions. This is hugely relatable, being the father of a 3 year old with another one on the way in January. I think any parent will be able to relate to the words in this performance haha. As always, Tim put it across in a very funny with some great lines. Thanks again for the recommendations and tell me what you would like to see me react to next. Thanks!!

[@stacy147]

Please do a reaction to Inflatable You… you’re welcome in advance 😂

[@Preview43]

I love how the orchestra starts off sweet and lilting and discreetly begins to descend into madness.

[@MertAus]

Yes that is correct. I thought it was getting more intense. I have definitely mentally felt how that orchestra played on days with my son.

[@BillTheScribe]

@@MertAus Can you imagine getting the sheet music for this as the french horn or trumpet player? Sixteenth notes? 270 BPM? Tempo increases?

[@markparker4536]

White wine in the sun is his Christmas song to his daughter, I’d maybe wait a month til December but definitely worth a watch

[@lisagermany]

And if you purchase it around Christmas, the proceeds go to Autism society in Australia

[@mattbarneveld815]

An absolute classic Australian Christmas song. Play it every year 🙂

[@Primaate]

Such a beautiful Aussie impressionist song

[@_k.13]

I just want to appreciate your audience's ability to bait you right into Tim's setup without spoiling the punchline.

[@mattbarneveld815]

My sister-in-law reckons the best bit of advice she got from a paediatrician was "It is perfectly normal to want to throw your child out a window at least once a day. It is not normal to do so!". Pretty much what Tim is saying in his lullaby 🙂

[@abekane7038]

With my first child, the lack of sleep made me feel like I wasn't sure what was real anymore. It really can be tough. Love my kids to bits though. And yes, I was told to eat all the food on my plate because people were starving in Afrika

[@nicisowter203]

Mr. Minchin is a fantastic pianist and even better lyricist. Extremely clever man. Check out his address to a graduating class of the university of western Australia. Funny but sound advice. Great reaction!

[@Lily33McC]

This is what comedians do take real situations to the extreme and make us laugh when we know we shouldn’t! Parents going through this must think “Oh well maybe I’m not that bad after all” Tim is hilarious and an incredible pianist! I loved all your reactions 😂

[@jemxs]

Haha he got you hook,line and sinker! You should know by now 😂. The funny thing is when you react to one of his serious songs you will always be expecting the 180° turn!

[@MertAus]

Yesss mate this is exactly it. I remember someone said he had two songs for his kids and that either one or two of them were serious so I just thought this was one of those. And with the way it started that's what I thought but not for the first time I was thrown by the switch in the middle of the song haha

[@Dr_KAP]

Very relatable I remember times thinking if this kid doesn’t shut up I’ll throw her across the room !! Not that I ever did or would, but when you’re sleep deprived and hormonal it’s easy to let your emotions take over and this is why it’s important to surround ourselves with support people- partners, parents or friends.

[@bronclaire]

For a heartfelt christmas song - try White Wine in the Sun

[@fionamadafiglio9891]

Your reaction was everything I hoped it would be! 😂

[@MertAus]

Thanks Fiona. I enjoyed this one a lot. It was very relatable haha

[@fionamadafiglio9891]

@@MertAus And you're about to go through it all again! :D Congratulations!

[@admanistansheridan1826]

Great reaction mate, as the father of 3 girls and we've all survived till their adulthood

[@suesmith7946]

I loved this the minute I heard it years ago. Was hoping you'd do a reaction to it. I have 3 grown up kids, 2 of whom have kids of their own now and, yes, we can all have a laugh and relate. Maybe our thoughts weren't quite as extreme as this but he always writes songs to make you think and that have the impact to make people think.

[@chrlz904]

Great reaction, again. I think this song is a wonderful relief, for the typical parent who has gone through a time like this, and might have experienced thoughts... By Tim exaggerating them so brilliantly and almost poetically, hopefully they can look back and laugh and say "it's not just me..." My next suggestion is a serious one that is almost the direct opposite in style... "Drowned". It's short, depressing, simple yet strangely beautiful, and I think everyone has either had a love like that, or knows someone..

[@MertAus]

Yes for sure, you make a great point. It is actually comforting to hear someone else describe those emotions. I can really relate to them. Ok nice, will check out Drowned soon thanks

[@BillTheScribe]

You need to follow this up with the long version of "If Didn't Have You." The song doesn't really relate to this, but there's a little monologue at the end that ties in perfectly. His more serious songs are like the start of this one, but they keep that tone all the way through. The transition is "Not Perfect," "White Wine in the Sun" (save that one for Christmas), and "Beauty"

[@coopsey]

Surprised it hasnt already been pointed out yet, but this is the song he wrote for his second child. His first was apparently a darling and a great sleeper, and he wrote White Wine in the Sun for her. The second screamed constantly, he went a little mad and wrote this.

[@rattlesnakehaven]

I never had a child for exactly that reason! Anyone who can go through that and come out the other end still loving the child has my utmost respect.

[@krpurple2678]

I was told there are children starving in Africa in 1960s! There was a lot of news and television commercials about the Biafran war and starving children in the late 1960's.

[@caro.k2958]

My first born was undiagnosed lactose intolerant and didn’t sleep through until 3 months old when I put him on solids! This song of Tim’s saved my sanity! I will always be grateful love this song and loved your reaction Only parent’s truely understand 😂😎

[@vxlenciix]

What makes me laugh is that this went straight to air in Australia, and the fact that he sang “in a hope a dingo will rip off your fat b*tching head” is actually a true story about the “dingo stole my baby” line that foreigners like to repeat in an Aussie accent. If that doesn’t show how much you can get away with on Aussie television, I don’t know what does 😂

[@ellav7812]

I LOVE that you went into this thinking it was just a song for his child

[@juleneyoung5053]

I Choose Lonely Tonight … is a good thought provoking song

[@johankaewberg8162]

Your love for them grows, the closer to dead they look :-) Yesh. I love Tim.

[@HaveMonkeyWillDance]

didn't understand a word, old chap, but all power to you. Minchin is a work of nature, isn't he?

[@thormorgenstern3603]

"Atleast someone's saying it" OHHHHHHHHHHH BROOOO You slipped right there. HAHAHA

[@julianaFinn]

Forbidden inner thoughts 😅

[@Joshualuv13]

I love this so much ... aa we all know most ppl love their children dearly just the things that can rum through our heads at those times where we can see the end in site lol

[@Nannasrevival]

I loved this, I haven’t watched him perform for a long time.

[@katrinamcintosh1607]

Great reaction. Would highly recommend you watching ‘If I Didn’t Have You’

[@SeebsL]

I'll add my vote to that one next!

[@Primaate]

Tim's a genius; can't help but admire his talent.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Subscribed, enjoying all the Tim videos. So many more to go and they are all gold!!

[@agnesregards2286]

Aaah, sleep deprivation! Surely all parents can relate. Tim has such an hillarious take on it.

[@69hytek]

100% One of my favs from Tim

[@MertAus]

It's awesome!!

[@nickvegas2459]

I had to laugh. Wait until the teenage years. It makes toddlers seem like angels.

[@Cyannah117]

😂 Tim is just saying out loud what just about every parent of fractious children think sometimes, especially when those parents haven’t had any sleep for a few nights and are completely frazzled and at the end of their tether!

[@PianoDiary85]

Tim will always keep you guessing as to whether he's about to get hilarious or not, and either way it will be a completely honest account. haha.

[@kcrot2566]

Enjoy our Tim beware he is amazing ❤

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

Yes, the children in Africa were starving to death in the 1970s too. Ever y parent needs this song. And someone wrote a book, I think it's called 'Go The Fuck To Sleep'

[@sallymay24]

The reference to the dingo is to do with a mother and father who child was lost to a dingo back in the 80s in Australia

[@aoao2263]

I love the song but you do know that parents NEVER STOP talking about how hard it is? I mean, I believe them but they make sure you know too.

[@pmR32red]

Well done👍

[@crazyratlady3026]

Yea, this Lullaby is for the parents 😂😂😂😂

[@kcrot2566]

Honest ❤

[@sjp2173]

Look at 'come home cardinal pell' he was a priest from Australia who covered up a lot of boys being abused in the 1970/1980s by other priests. This cardinal was at Vatican city and needed to return to Australia to face court

[@davidsmith8475]

Confessions is great as well

[@bernbee1679]

This is hilarious and I think as parents we’ve all been there. Of course he’s taking it to extremes. Yes I heard about the starving children too 😂

[@sibertiger1970]

You need to watch his beat poem "Mitsubishi Colt"

[@Davey_bfg71]

This is what really great comedy can do, cut right through. Now there very probably will be dozens of keyboard warriors screaming vile! crass! and who knows what else but at the same time there will be millions upon millions of parents across the globe who’ll be screaming YES! YES!, he gets it! For them Tim has just perfectly illustrated the countless times their children have driven them to despair. For these short few minutes this will be like a release valve has just blown!! That is what great comedy can do and should be doing, it shouldn’t be handcuffed and smothered by the PC police, truth shouldn’t be sacrificed on the altar of NICE, we all at some point need that release valve! 😊

[@vaguetymora826]

I concur with the half a dozen others in the comments here that have suggested ‘White wine in the Sun‘.

[@dystar112]

I used to ask my parents how I Waa going to get my little bit of food on my plate to Africa - but it didn't work and my mum used to tell me not to be smart 😑

[@davidcruse6589]

Cheers mate glad you enjoyed Have you seen his prejudice if not you need to

watch this again without pausing.

If you are interested in Aussie comedy I would highly recommend Chris Lilley, absolutely hilarious. My favourite characters of Chris are; Gran Nathan & Daniel J’amie & Mr G

[@jono.pom-downunder]

Sleep depravation makes you desperate 😵, that's why it's used as torture. 🤯 Every parent with an insomniac child knows these thoughts🤬. Do we act on them I hope not, (but a pillow is within arm's reach).😱🙊

[@coreenavenn4235]

As a small kid in the late 60s early 70s Chinese children were starving Mao's Great Leap Forward (🤦) then Cultural Revolution meant about 20 million died

It was very funny a joke

[@aoao2263]

You need to listen to The Pope Song! It’s one of his best

[@bigs1546]

people were often critical of this and some stuff he's done about his wife -on one video [can't recall which right now] but he does an intro piece about his wife's sense of humour is often darker than his so no one should feel sorry for her 😂

[@jemxs]

"If I didn't have you" is the one, I think the full or extended version includes the stuff about his wife's (Sarah's) humour.

[@bigs1546]

@@jemxs Thanks ! I thought of it then started to type and had a complete brain block - happens to us grey-haired ones at times...........can always find my keys but forget what I was about to say - damn ! 😂

I only have to hear babies in public to want to smother them. Parenting is exhausting, stressful & not for everyone. As a serious musician attempting to write having a kid screeching would be hell

[@colmastro4373]

Lmao na mate, his serious stuff is recent, from 2016 onwards. His new album isn't comedy, they're legit songs.

[@Codex7777]

You didn't need to pause it every few seconds to explain what the song was about. It's blatantly obvious what the song's about. I understand that you're going to pause but such frequent pausing just kills the flow of a song, both for you and for anyone new to it. Try pausing a little less and save most of your analysis for the end. Especially when you're essentially repeating the same thing at each pause. Rewinding a couple of seconds, after a pause, helps too, by ensuring that you and your viewers don't miss anything. That way both you and your viewers are likely to appreciate and enjoy songs a lot more... Apart from that, great reaction! That last was genuine btw, not sarcasm. :)

[@lynnhamps7052]

Too much pausing and talking over..😞

[@chrlz904]

I disagree, I think mat's got it about right.. maybe that's because his reactions and observations seem to match mine...
