Tim Minchin is just fabulous. His beat poem Storm is great.
Also, I particularly like the "Tony the Fish" version of If You Open Your Mind... It's fucking brilliant when he says, "Imagine what Tony would think, standing there on his brand new feet, on the brink of the beginnings of mankind as we know it, if he could look forward just a few, short, hundreds of millions of years, to see one of his descendants, an Israeli Jew by the name of Jesus having a nail hammered through his feet, the very feet that Tony provided him with, as a punishment for having a sort of schizophrenic discourse with a god who was created by man to explain the existence of feet in the absence of the knowledge of the existence of Tony."
