Upon seeing the name of the comedian, I wasn’t planning on watching, as I’d previously found his humor more baffling than funny. But, the title of the song piqued my interest, “Peace anthem for Palestine”, so I watched in entirety and include below my complete summary. Tim Minchin, comedian pianist, is going to share a song he hopes will be a seed for peace (first 2 and 1/2 minutes), the lyrics are “You don’t eat pigs, we don’t eat pigs, why not not eat pigs together ... ... pigs.” (last 2 and 1/2 minutes) The audience laughs and sings along. I liked the song but the laugh timing, particular when he was playing music but not speaking, made me feel as if there was an in joke I was very far outside of. |
