Tim Minchin's songs about skepticism

    If you're interested in agnosticism, ethics, metaphysics, empiricism, or even just vocal and piano music, I recommend you check out the Australian comedian-musician Tim Minchin. He's a lot like a modern Tom Lehrer with the self-realized crudity of George Carlin or Louis C.K.

    His 2011 orchestra concert at Royal Albert Hall is wonderful, but if you don't want to sit through the whole thing, check out a select few of my favorites below.

    This last one isn't a song but an animated "beat poem": Tim Minchin's Storm the Animated Movie - YouTube
    Feel free to share your reactions, including whether you've heard any of his songs before.
