Apparently 20% of people who hear this song for the first time don't realise that ginger is an anagram of n*****. Maybe they're not paying attention. I can't help wondering if the fact that Minchin was horribly and unfairly accused of being a racist (which I am certain he isn't) when he performed his song "If You Really Loved Me" in which he had used the N word. He's changed the lyrics in that song now. You've got to admit that the irony of getting upset about six little letters is so beautifully illustrated here. |

You need to have local knowledge and know a little of the background to the English television chat show Friday night with Jonathan Ross to fully understand the specific references and how funny this song is. |

| Tim Minchin – Drowned Lyrics

There are so many songs out there going on about the wonderfulness of being in love but so few that talk really honestly about the intense and often quite disturbing and unpleasant sensations that, that out of control feeling, can have on you. I think this is the only "love song" that has every really spoken to me and told it how it really feels. Tim's honesty and insightfulness, on so many topics, just continually blows me away.
BTW, this song features in a movie "Two Fists and One Heart" and somebody's put the scene of Tim playing this in a bar up on YouTube. |

This song makes all the hairs on my neck stand on end and a lump rise in my throat; it is the most beautiful love song I have ever known. The comedy just hightens the effect. Medical references trip effortlessly off Minchin's tongue, you can tell he's the son and the grandson of doctors. |

I think the line is: I could have my identity mistaken for a bomber in an Underground station. It's a reference to Jean Charles de Menezes getting shot mistakenly shot in Stockwell Tube station. |
