5 Poofs and 2 Pianos by Tim Minchin

July 27, 2010 – 9:42 am

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.

  13. I enjoy the fact that while watching this I think “I want to meet him.” I met him last night at Yuk Yuk’s at a Noel Fielding’s gig (which was amazing btw). It really still hasn’t sunk in yet!! Ha ha. One of the nicest people in the world. But I also had a very mini conversation with Tim about Bo Burnham. It was amazing. I love you Tim, thanks for signing my tie/guitar strap <33

  19. Seeing him do all those things so well (singing, songwriting, acting, playing piano) you imagine he could do so much more than comedy.. but wait, he does! :) )

  22. @gothinhiding He is – that’s why he sings about having a sexuality conversion to being gay so he could be in the group.
