5 Poofs and 2 Pianos by Tim Minchin
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.

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

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!

Truly adorable! If he wasn’t married, and I wasn’t gay, I’d be sending a creepy proposal in the post right about now ; )

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