Tim Minchin’s Ode To Rationality

Storm - a good-looking hippie chick and the mythic inspiration for this beat-poem

Totally ripped off from Les at Stupid Evil Bastard:

I’m not a terribly hip person (so far behind the times that I still say “hip” when I mean “currently fashionable among stylish rich young people”) and beat poems usually cause me to click “Next”... but I really like this one!  Despite having absolutely no idea who Tim Minchin might be.  Some bloke with a(n) British Aussie accent, anyway.

  1. Australian.

    Bloody Yanks.

    And anyway, you probably mean English Accent.

  4. If you haven’t already, check out the rest of his stuff on youtube…brilliant! 

    A few of my favorites-

    Dark Side(especially the 9 minute live version), Mitsubishi Colt(another beat poem),
    F Sharp, and Ten Foot Cock and a Few Hundred Virgins(a song about anal sex and god).

  6. I’ve seen quite a bit of Tim Minchin around, and sometimes his stuff is great, other times not so much.

    This one, however, was great! Thanks smile
