Tim Minchin's The Pope Song & Canvas Bag REACTION

[@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

[@skepticalsociety]

I was literally about to suggest this! 😁

[@lachlanwalls]

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

[@Bobsyagod]

@@clintonburr852 Was that also the performance of Canvas bag where all the other comedians came out to sing the chorus with Tim?

[@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

[@derinedala5032]

I heard this song about 15 years ago and I still sing it to myself whenever I use canvas bags

[@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.

[@Jessica-bz1vm]

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!

[@Aliceingingerland]

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

[@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.

[@kristinestout1170]

OMG I'm going to be humming that all freakin' day!! Thanks! Take your canvas bags....

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

This one is so good. He's also done this one together with the Heritage Orchestra in Royal Albert Hall. :D

I love it, I hadn't seen canvas bag!!! Thank you!

[@littleflick]

Loving your reactions! More recommendations for Tim Minchin performances - Thank You God, Dark Side, Inflatable You or Rock and 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 🔥!

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"

[@bigdrunkhunter8729]

You'd LOVE the official video to Canvas Bags

[@potitishogun2961997]

I also really recommend his song "F Sharp", which is one of my favorite funny songs

"Thank You God" is another classic by Timmy

[@alex.9181]

love the pope song awesome choose!

[@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).

[@antivanti]

Oh man You Grew On Me is SO good

[@WeirdGuy4928]

I would recommend his "The Good Book" song!

[@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 😊

[@ianz9916]

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.

[@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

[@zararobnett8284]

You’re real challenge now is to NOT think of this song EVERY TIME you go to the supermarket

[@_Glass-_-House_]

Why do I get the impression Tim listened to Firework by Katy Perry one to many times to inspire Canvas Bag haha I guess pop music does get recycled so glad he knows how to reduce noise pollution with his talent.

Canvas bags are actually environmental nightmares. Cotton production uses huge amounts of fossil fuels, water, and fertilizers. You have to reuse them about 20,000 times to make them less damaging than plastic bags.

[@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

[@hannessteffenhagen61]

Fwiw, plastic bags aren't that bad if you just get one of those sturdier reusable ones and actually reuse them, the disposable crap is the issue. I'm single with several stores nearby so I just skip the bag and use a backpack, which I'd have otherwise anyway.

[@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."
