Tim Minchin - Peace Anthem For Palestine

[@Hevster]

The natural heir to Tom Lehrer, cracking hot pianist with a really clever comic mind. And eyeliner.

[@voliteon]

Oh man - the very first line of his song is SO hilarious. "We don't eat pigs" then he pauses for the perfect amount of time before "You don't eat pigs"... Cracked me up. He's so awesome.

[@PanicProvisions]

You can recognize a good entertainer easily: When the crowd laughs when he insults it, he is great.

[@icanreadncount]

He's such an incredibly talented pianist it blows my mind.

[@ddrums1234]

This guy is so talented, watching his solo piano work is amazing.

[@yokatzman]

it's funny and all, but i can't get enough of that piano segment... to beautiful

[@tarasmithblunt]

Love it! When the audience barely sing along and he says "oh you're crap" gets me in stitches :D

[@LastChance21]

I dont know much about piano, but he seems amazing to the point where he could continue just on his musical talent alone

[@jaack]

Me and three others bought tickets today to see him in Septermber, tim!

[@AndrewJerkins]

He's encapsulating everything good about the arts and putting a higher importance on intelligence in that community. He is edgy but soft.

[@AstrumG2V]

"So if you don't eat pigs, and we" "..... don't eat pigs" "Nah u're crap!" instant love! :p

[@drizztt18]

The sound of this song is amazing.. and the lyrics are godlike

[@frazer114]

this is one of those rare songs that is funny the 15th time you watch it. mind you thats always the case with Tim

[@CAPTUREDNFRACTURED]

The only time I've seen Tim in shoes was when I met him after his gig earlier this year. He was brilliant. Just saw him again recently. He was amazing. He states that him not wearing shoes is just an affectation in his song So F**king Rock!

[@onearmfrog]

"Oh you're crap" LOL!!!!

[@spickinpower]

This is really funny and at the same time Tim Minchin is presenting a very valid point - we should look for similarities, rather than differences ;) Enjoyed this a lot, thank you!

[@pierced.schnoznan]

I have been trying to learn this for about an hour and i can play the first two bars of the beautiful classical intro. Only the right hand part, i'm not good enough for the full thing yet! One day though.

[@parawhoreEH]

"SING if we don't eat pigs and you don't eat pigs OH, YOU'RE CRAP" AHA, i love himmm! Pure talent! such an amazing pianist!!

[@vampymegs]

this guy is fabulous! i was doing research on a thesis paper on Obesity and ran across him ... im hooked and now side tracked for the evening .... thank you Minchin

[@FreakOfMusic66]

Tim Minchin is a brilliant pianist and such an amazing comedian.... I absolutely love him, this made me smile :D

[@VinceRocksMySocks]

yay, this is where i first saw dear Tim, and i've loved him ever since! thanks for uploading!

[@Typhoon424]

He's bloody hillarious, I burst out laughing at the end where he goes 'ROCK' and then goes really fast XD

[@fairywannabe]

i love the way he says 'sure' at the end.

[@tamazingic]

love the chopin-esque, high speed, cadenza style ending!!!!

[@lughildana]

I'd love Tim to release an album of his piano work. :)

[@Adarascarlet]

Wow. I'd be equally happy to see him at a comedy club or a piano recital!

[@majorleaguefan]

its aa beautiful tune, and the fact its Tims makes it so much better

[@churchy99]

Tim Minchin rules! I'm so glad hes coming to my town to do a show!

[@park17]

His face at the end when he says "sure" is classic!

[@kymer4155]

His piano skills are epic!

[@aceg81]

Awesome! Comedians playing musical instruments certainly isn't new, but he's the first "musical comedian" I've ever seen who I'd pay to see, sans comedy. Friggin' amazing chops on that piano.

[@millieo101]

bloody love him

[@enobarbus100]

HOW DO YOU PLAY THE PIANO LIKE THAT?

[@cyberminky64]

i love him!! all his stuff is amazing and he's so talented!! :D

[@jackmonkeyca]

haha he has such a contagious smile ^^

[@InMemoryOfJimmy]

*pause* "ROCK!" *epic piano!*

[@Sturnteer]

genius lol... i love the build up to the last verse

[@beaverulf]

The message in this song makes us all think "What are they waiting for?"

[@iluvmuse]

This has to be one of the most ridiculous songs to get stuck in your head. Especially when you're on the bus and you suddenly come out with "we don't eat pigs, you don't eat pigs..." I bloody love it though! He's an absolute genuis :)

[@AdamC3046]

i can play that almost as fast as him!

[@DifferentGirl3]

Tim's face at the end 'Sure!'

[@gussy1z]

i would love to go to one of his gigs

[@maddogmaddox]

the thing he does with his voice at 2:57 is so cool (it probably has a italian sounding specification but I don't know it)

[@AstrumG2V]

@Boogieforme He's self-taught ;-) He took pianolessons for 3 years, but thought the whole discipline thingy sucked, so he quit, only to return to it after rediscovering the piano through composing for school-theater ;-)

[@Maksimfan]

whenever there is a free piano at my uni this is the first thing a friend on my course plays. haha. TIm is epic

[@Apocfetau]

Man is he epic in this clip... on his show it was a bit more laid back suppose it just makes him all the more brilliant. =)

[@riseup20twelve]

great to see humour winning the day here.. everyone who seen past it all give yourselves a huge one :~) Peace all

[@Jestir66]

Hes so awesome.

[@ihf666]

the comedy lie's in the seriousness of th piano and the lack of seriousness in the vocals... i love it XD

[@holycrapno]

omg. his piano skills are amazing

[@juicylucyify]

busking on the gaza strip... :)

[@Pajmdoyle]

This man has serious talent on the piano. And he is funny as hell.

[@torirhay16]

[@Waffles1127]

Oh my lord. I either crapped my pants or my heart exploded. When Tim plays its like conjuring up a tornado!

[@AbigailFrances]

I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be an Anthem for 'Plasticine'..

[@EmmaBee100]

[@mooseman9173]

[@mynameiscal]

[@HumanDichotomy]

Wow. Awesome musically and funny. What a great combo!

[@KonohaElite14]

[@noteatpig2getha]

My inspiration!

[@Boogieforme]

Oh his piano playing is heavenly, makes me wish I didn't quit my classes =(

[@LillyPeppermint]

@JohnThurcaston it's in 3/4 for the most of it but the very last bit (That's really fast) is in 2/4. =)

[@sarkadventures]

He was amazing at Leeds Festival!

[@ridelo]

[@cowlark2000]

He's so good!!

[@holycrapno]

omg. he is a good pianist.

[@BlondeEmpress]

I love this man!!!

[@LyricalLoki]

ROCK!

[@cyx77]

the beginning of the song sounds like it came straight out of an old final fantasy game.

[@CyanideSovereign]

I can conclued from this video, Tim Minchin is a Meshuggah fan.

[@HollySTARwood]

Love this guy and this song!

[@hopeepohhopeepoh]

does anyone else get reminded of the puppet at the end of chitty chitty bang bang at the end of this? i love tim XD

[@DarkLord61636]

Wow, I came in expecting this to suck, but I think that Tim Minchin is my new favorite person =D

[@TaweretSekhmet]

Rock!

[@frazer114]

Just why did he have to make it so short?I could listen to this forever and not get bored!

[@WMDistraction]

@JohnThurcaston 3/4 The triplet feel should really let you know that it's 3/4. (Also, the "boom-chuck-chuck" of the chords makes it evident.

[@scatcher]

brilliant music

[@coolbean08]

oh my god, i know minchin isnt usually that serious, but i was not expecting this from the title! oh, tim, you made my night :) "oh youre crap" hahhaa

[@Skibadeeba]

He's fucking hilarious, but his "Crack addict" look makes it perfect.

[@ridelo]

Please! Can somebody help me to find the text of this song. My English isn't well enough to understand all the nuances of his song.

[@hypolozza]

Funny as man. I've lost count how many times I've watched it, and I still think it's funny. Inflatable you is funny as well. This guy has man skillz on piano as well, which makes im better than the rest

[@lilly2779]

[@Amary11is]

is he born with a piano at his hands? O___o

[@Salted.Love.Intrntnl.Ministry]

[@音姫soundprincess]

@TheAnjelHarte I think it's just right in place.

[@YesImZane]

[@Edzio91]

[@Ambean]

[@Yuzling]

Hahaha at the end when he's like "sure" XD

[@WarpedLilo]

"We've managed to put the Palestine-Israel conflict to bed once and for and I thank you for that Tim" "Sure :D"

[@JackThrice85]

Brilliant!

[@RAAAWRimapenguin]

"We do not need hands, he used on eight detainees, it seems it's the end I'm Liane Hansen, so that used on eight detainees and we dominate days, why not not even playing CDS" ......wth transcribe audio! lols ...i want Tim Minchins Hair ...It is Freaking Awesome haha
