Tim Minchin - Peace Anthem For Palestine 

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

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

i can play that almost as fast as him!

I can play this song, though not nearly as fast as he can but I will practise until I can :)

that dude at the beginning looks like Shane Dawson

hhhhahhhaahaa. rofl. If only it could have been that simple.. like big time.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

busking on the gaza strip... :)

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

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

HOW DO YOU PLAY THE PIANO LIKE THAT?

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

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!

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

I'm palestinian, LOVE IT!

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

@blalst . Why don't you turn the mockery into something lasting and worthwhile by not eating pigs together ;-)

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

"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!!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

You don't eat pigs, We don't eat pigs, It seems it's been that way forever So if you don't eat pigs, And we don't eat pigs, Why not, not eat pigs together?

haha he has such a contagious smile ^^

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.

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. =)

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!

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

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 :)

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

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

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

His piano skills are epic!

is he born with a piano at his hands? O___o

yup, he says it makes him feel more comfortable on stage. Amazingly fantasticly sexy man!!

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

what can i say? the man's a prophet.

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

Oh, yeah, who wouldn't feel soiled by not only providing nice music, but great acting and humor to boot? :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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

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

Sorry, but I wrote my comment before actually hearing the song. It was the foregoing babble where he got a few laughs that I didn't understand. Reading English is way easier for me than understanding spoken words. Thanks nevertheless.

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

I figured I'd bounce it off a more secular crowd before going over there and start...busking on the Gaza strip... FTW....

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

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

Love Tim Minchin! Woop! "Oh your crap!"

Ey i saw him there too! Gutted I can't find his feminist song, and the ginger song, but this will have to do =P he was brilliant.

bloody love him

Israel isn't a "purely Jewish" state. There are lots of Christians and Israeli Arabs. Also, Minchin rocks woop woop

i love the space between jew and ish did he do that on purpose cos it makes it seem as tho theyre only kinda jewish

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)

It's stuff like this that makes me glad that I'm not foolish enough to play leap-frog with unicorns.

well you just ruined the peace process Minchin style. Not eating dogs it will have to be... :)

yeh he's barefoot cos some people find it easier to pedal plus he is a bit of a nutter so =]

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

fantastic ! awsome pianist brilliant lyricest.. also a very smart guy no pretentions just telling the truth ...TY tim..x x x

Well, that's solved all their problems. A minus plus a minus make a plus, after all !

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

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

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

What an excellent parody on peace idiots. "We don't eat pigs, you don't eat pigs Why not not eat pigs together?" And then he's done. No more thoughts in that unclouded mind. So all he can do is repeat.

Shake your head around fast, whilst spraying hair spray at it.

Love it when he gets the audience to join in and hes just like your crap!

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

The guy at the start in green looks like Richard Madeley.

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

think thats a problem solved right there dont you :)

i no hes not but hes sounds irish wen he sings itlol

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

he has such a strong face. strong like bear-lion.

LOL. Thats all I have to say, besides this, ROFL

... musical prodigy, with a sense of humor

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

LMFAO love it when he says "aww your all crap"

Why not not eat pigs together? ROCK! \m/

I thought he was going to do a second verse "you don't believe Jesus was divine, and we don't believe Jesus was divine..." or something like that. There's more he could go on.

@JohnThurcaston 3/4 he just acts like a piano player and hesitates constantly between phrazes. listen to the left hand and you'll spot the time much easier

eheaney07 he is brilliant, seen him on NMTBC and had to look him up ! his face at the end is soooo cute when he finishes and then when he goes "sure" CrazybandSmallroom ME TOO!!! (If NMTBC means never mind the buzzcocks) eheaney07 yea !!! "aww your so good looking and english, i just wanna .... punch you in the face !" hahah I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVED IT WHEN HE SAID THOSE THINGS! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

3:40 "SING!... Oh you're crap!"

@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.

is that irish guy andrew maxwell?

2:19 - 2:21 = the most childish grin i have ever seen

@aaronrushton1 well he is the rock and roll nerd

"The biggest problem in that region is that the Jewish people and the Muslims don´t seem to get on well...." -absolutly briliant!!! :-) :-) :-)

The surname Minchin always makes me think of some rude yoof catchphrase like "bitchin'". "Minchin, man. Totally minchin."
