This song was meant to air on the Jonathan Ross Show tomorrow night (23rd December 2011), but at the last minute ITV cut it. Here's my whiney blog about it (originally published at www.timminchin.com): I really like Jonathan Ross. I think he's a funny, interesting, kind person, and an excellent interviewer. I also really like his wife... But let's not get back into that. Jonathan and his wonderful producer, Suzi, have been incredibly supportive of me and so when they asked me to write a song for their pre-Christmas show, I didn't hesitate. It was the worst possible time to be writing a new song -- I've been overworked and ill, was on tour, and was really feeling the stress. But I wasn't going to say no... it's Jonathan Ross! And my fellow guests were to be Tom Cruise, the divine actors from Downton Abbey, and the ace In-Betweeners boys. So I got to writing. Being Christmas, I thought it would be fun to do a song about Jesus, but being TV, I knew it would have to be gentle. The idea was to compare him to Woody Allen (short, Jewish, philosophical, a bit hesitant), and expand into redefining his other alleged attributes using modern, popular-culture terminology. It's not a particularly original idea, I admit, but it's quite cute. It's certainly not very contentious, but even so, compliance people and producers and lawyers all checked my lyrics long before the cameras rolled. As always with these bespoke writing jobs, I was really stressed for about 3 days, and almost chucked <b>...</b>

Note from Tim: This is the song, 5 Poofs and 2 Pianos, what I wrote for Jonathan Ross's show in October. It's got a joke in it about Jan Moir, a Daily Mail journo who wrote a disparaging column in the wake of the death of gay Boyzone singer Stephen Gately. I found out that the version of this song that has been up on Youtube until now had been audio-doctored so that I say "Dan Moir". I haven't yet figured out how this happened and whether it was just someone being funny for their own purposes or whether it was a deliberate censoring to avoid repercussions from Jan herself. Surely it can't be the latter! Anyway, here's the undoctored version, finally.

Tim Minchin is as brilliant and hilarious as ever as he satires the bible in "The Good Book." I own nothing, obviously, go buy the DVD as Tim Minchin deserves the moolah. BTW, there's another version on here too (and he should get credit, as he uploaded the video first). Check it out: www.youtube.com Lyrics: Life is like an ocean voyage and our bodies are the ships And without a moral compass we would all be cast adrift So to keep us on our bearings, the Lord gave us a gift And like most gifts you get, it was a book I only read one book, but it's a good book, don't you know I act the way I act because the Good Book tells me so If I wanna known how to be good, it's to the Good Book that I go 'Cos the Good Book is a book and it is good and it's a book I know the Good Book's good because the Good Book says it's good I know the Good Book knows it's good because a really good book would You wouldn't cook without a cookbook and I think it's understood You can't be good without a Good Book 'cos it's good and it's a book And it is good for cookin' I tried to read some other books, but I soon gave up on that The paragraphs ain't numbered and they complicate the facts I can't read Harry Potter 'cos they're worshipping false gods and that And Dumbledore's a poofter and that's bad, 'cos it's not good Morality is written there in simple white and black I feel sorry for you heathens, got to think about all that Good is good and evil's bad and goats are good and pigs are crap You'll <b>...</b>

Links: www.timminchin.com www.abc.net.au Lyrics: This is my Earth And I live in it It's one third dirt And two thirds water And it rotates and revolves through space At rather an impressive pace And never even messes up my hair And here's the really weird thing The force created by its spin Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in This is my Earth And it's fine It's where I spend the vast majority of my time It's not perfect But it's mine It's not perfect This is my country And I live in it It's pretty big And nice to walk on And the bloke who runs my country Has built a demagoguery And tought us to be fearful and boring And the wierdest thing is that he is Conservative of politics But really rather radical of eyebrows This is my country And it's fine It's where I spend the vast majority of my time It's not perfect But it's mine It's not perfect This is my house And I live in it It's made of cracks And photographs We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy Who bought it from a guy Whose grandad left it to him And the weirdest thing is that this house Has locks to keep the baddies out But they're mostly used to lock ourselves in This is my house And it's fine It's where I spend the vast majority of my time It's not perfect But it's mine It's not perfect But it's mine This is my body And I live in it It's 31 And 6 months old It's changed a lot since it was new It's done stuff it wasn't built to <b>...</b>

Boombalada motherfucker Have you noticed that your kids are fat? What you gonna do about that? What you gonna do? So you're telling me that your family Has a history of obesity You got a polycystic ovary You say "its just the way God made me" Its unlikely, statistically To be a physical thing But either way it dont explain why you Are in the queue at Burger King You can blame it on biology You can blame your physiology You can point to genealogy And your social anthropology You can say you are an ectomorph That you just cant get the kilos off Well you can be what you wanna be But stop feeding your boy KFC He weighs 40 kilos and hes only three He looks like a clean-shaven Pavarotti Ordering Diet Coke is not the way back Boombalada kiddie-stuffer Your kids are fat, have you noticed that? And you oughta be ashamed For you only have yourself to blame.

'White Wine In The Sun', also known as 'Christmas Song'. I put this up since a lot of people were looking for it. LYRICS: I'm looking forward to Christmas It's sentimental I know, but I just really like it I'm, I'm hardly religious I'd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism The commercialisation of an ancient religion And the western-isation of a dead Palestinian Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer But I still really like it. I, I really like Christmas Though I'm not expecting a visit from Jesus I'll be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum They'll be drinking white wine in the sun I'll be seeing my dad My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum We'll be drinking white wine in the sun. I don't go for ancient wisdom I don't believe just 'cause ideas are tenacious it means that they're worthy I get freaked out by churches Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords But the lyrics are dodgy And yes I have all of the usual objections to the mis-education of children forced into a cult institution And taughted to externalise blame And to feel ashamed And to judge things as plain right and wrong But I quite like the songs. I'm not expecting big presents The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate is just fine by me. 'Cause I'll be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum They'll be drinking white wine in the sun I'll be seeing my dad My <b>...</b>

You never seem to menstruate at all So you're not angry when I'm late at all I feel permanently felatable Unpoppable, inflatable you. With you in my arms I feel we could just fly away With the right kind of gas I might even try it some day In this ocean of life I'm never afraid we might drown We could just float forever whatever the weather Whenever my inflatable lover's around. Your thighs and buttocks are so holdable You always do what you are toldable And if we argue you just foldable Controllable consolable you. My mates all reckon you are suitable I took you around to watch the footable And Steve and Gary said you're rootable Commutable, refutable you.
