“Inflatable You” (2011)

Like a typical love song, “Inflatable You” describes many of the attractive features that the lover adores and appreciates about his partner – who just happens to be … well, inflatable.

A Bit Risqué, and Very Funny

Like a typical Tim Minchin song, “Inflatable You” is not intended to be taken too seriously. It’s a bit risqué and maybe even offensive. It’s cynical and sarcastic. And above all, it’s very, very funny.

(Except, of course, to certain poor souls who do not have a sense of humor. They’re missing out on some high-quality and often side-splitting comedy entertainment.)

Tim Minchin

Tim Minchin is a brilliant, clever, and multi-talented Australian singer, writer, actor, and composer, known primarily for his musical comedy. Those skills, along with his fascinating and engaging stage presence, make him one of the finest entertainers of these times.

Fame at the Fringe

Minchin first attained critical acclaim in 2005 at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Only 2 years later, he achieved a breakthrough and popular acclaim at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he won the “Perrier Best Newcomer Award.”

Shakespeare’s Matilda

His success in Edinburgh led to international success. In 2009, the Royal Shakespeare Company commissioned him to write the lyrics and music for “Matilda the Musical,” (which the company was adapting from Roald Dahl’s book.) The musical has won numerous awards, including an Olivier Award and a Tony Award.

Subsequently, Minchin also wrote the music and lryics for a stage production of “Groundhog Day,” which became successful in both London and New York. It garnered Minchin his second Olivier Award.

In 2013, Minchin starred in Tom Stoppard’s absurdist tragicomedy “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead,” at the Sydney Theatre Company. (Coincidentally, that play had debuted at the aforementioned Edinburgh Festical Fringe, way back in 1966.) _{(Image source)}

Your love for me is not debatable

Your sexual appetite’s insatiable

You never, ever make me waitable

Delectable, inflatable you.

You don’t have problems with your weight at all

You never steal food off my plate at all

I never have to masturbate at all

Unstoppable, inflatable you.

You never seem to menstruate at all
So you’re not angry when I’m late at all
I feel permanently felatable
Unpoppable, inflatable you.
With you in my arms, I feel we could just fly away
With the right kind of gas, I might even try it some day
In this ocean of life, I’m never afraid we might drown
We could just float forever, whatever the weather
Whenever my inflatable lover’s around.
Your thighs and buttocks are so holdable
You always do what you are toldable
And if we argue you just foldable
Controllable, consolable you.
My mates all reckon you are suitable
I took you around to watch the footable
And Steve and Gary said you’re rootable
Commutable, refutable you.
You’re never sensitive or tickley
When I rub you my skin goes prickly
It’s known as static electricity
Felicity, when I’m kissing you.
Your skin is so smooth, I couldn’t afford you with hair
You have all the holes real girls have got, plus one for the air
Your problems are simple, I don’t need my Masters in Psych
To know if you get down, I just perk you right up
With a couple of squirts from the pump off my bike.
You never wake up when I snore at all
A trait which I find quite adorable
You have a box and you are storable
Ignorable, back-doorable you.
Any sexual position’s feasible
Although you don’t bend at the knees at all
Your hooters are so firm and squeezable
Increasable, un-creasable you.
You don’t complain about my hairy back
Or about the inches that downstairs I lack
You’re not disgusted by my furry crack
Burt Bacharach, Jack Kerouac, ooo.
Now birth control is not an issue
I clean it all up with a tissue
I bet my jealous friends all wish you
Were insatiably inflatably theirs.
Don’t let me down.
[3x]
And I won’t let you down.   _{(Image source)} _{Lyrics by Tim Minchin, courtesy of – Genius.com
