Apr. 12th, 2007 12:42 amThought this might give you a grin. It was shown on an Australian music quiz show, Spicks and Specks last year. It's by one of the guest contestants, a comedian/musician by the name of Tim Minchin.
As he puts it:
I’ve had a lot of interest in the song I wrote for Spicks and Specks (TV show in Australia). You can see it in all its homoerotic glory by clicking HERE.
You Northern hemisphere types who haven’t heard of the show or its host, Adam Hills, will be confused. (All you need to know is that Hillsong is the name of one of those huge, wealthy, obscene, exploitative church groups near Sydney, and that Adam is a charming, funny, good-looking Australian comedian… with one of his feet missing.)

At night I dream of your quirky, intelligent face
I wistfully wish for your monopedal embrace.
But I am just a fan
You are the father of humanity
But if you’ll be my man
I would give a rib to be your Eve
Adam…
Hills are made for climbing and I’ll climb them all for you
And dem
Valleys you traverse I’m not averse to going down into
Wherever in your Eden you might travel I will follow.
And if a serpent holds an apple and entices me to swallow
I will not be tempted by the fruit the serpent proffers
Though I’ve never been that great at resisting offers made by
Adam…
Hills are made for climbing and oh boy I’ll do my best
But if the apple is too sweet and shiny to resist
I swear that I’ll try not to choke as with my guilt I grapple
But if inside my throat I feel a lump, it’ll be my Adam’s Apple.
It's so worth watching...especially with Adam playing up to it.

And this is on our government funded tv station ;)
