I don't know how many of you have heard this song, but it's my pleasure to introduce anyone who hasn't heard this song (or of Tim Minchin in general) to my favorite Christmas song, I hope you enjoy!

It is more of an anti-religion, anti-establishment, political statement hidden behind a Christmas song...

Just sayin...

He might get better known if he cleaned up his act and his looks.
Personal appearance is a huge stumbling block for him it seems.

I didn't know Amy Winehouse had a sister.

They should do a brother/sister duet.

I do enjoy, very much! And Tim Mincin is a comic, as well as a singer-songwriter-pianist. His teased hair, heavy eyeshadow and no shoes on stage was part of a comic act lambasting rock stars. It went down so well he just kept the style as his stage suit for a long time. He often teams them with a suit or swallow-tail suit. He said that as he can't use his hands as body language expression, being stuck on the keyboard as his hands are are, that the heavy eye-makeup helps him pull faces to help convey messages.

He has some pretty good bits. He is really good at using facial expressions and his eyes to convey his thoughts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ7U3Cu4Mr4&feature=channel is good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6raVzrbqrM also

I just found a great trick. replace /watch?v= with /v/

or just make a bookmark with this as the link

javascript:location.href=location.href.replace('/watch?v=','/v/')

I thought it had nice chords, but the lyrics were quite dodgey.
