His "Thank You God" routine is a weekly play at my house. Someone is always going back and watching it again.

Awesome song. I also love "Prejudice" which is no doubt more controversial here in the States than his native Australia. His dark and transgressive humor takes a special kind of of person to appreciate it. He's also, IMO, a musical genius, which sometimes gets lost in the distraction of humor.

side note:

I met y'all after a show at my college in the 90's. Thanks for being good humans and bringing good music to our world.
