Help Get Tim Minchin’s White Wine In The Sun Into The Top Forty This Season!

by podblack on December 13, 2009

As I mentioned on my post called Skeptic’s Guide To Getting Good Stuff This Holiday Season – ‘White Wine in the Sun’, the beautiful and sentimental encore to Tim’s ‘Ready For This?’ show has now been released as a single for the first time and can be downloaded from the following sites:

Amazon
HMV
We7
Play.com
TuneTribe
Tesco

Thanks to the ever-fabulous Linzy of Leeds, who runs the Tim Minchin fansite:

I’ve worked out that it will take approximately 6,000 sales for the song to get into the top 40 and so if you buy at least two copies (they are less than a pound each…) but no more than three (don’t want them to not count) then, as long as everyone else in the group does the same, that’ll be at least 8,000 sales. I’m sure you can do the maths on that one.

All the info you’ll need, such as where to download the song (cos it’s not on iTunes just yet) can be found on Tim’s Facebook page.

This has been such a favorite of mine since you introduced me to it, Kylie. Thank you so much for that, btw. I do need you to translate a bit of Aussie for me, though.

When he sings, “the old combination of and chocolates is just fine by me,” what is that word I showed as a blank? Sounds like “sog strots” or “soft trots” or something like that. Some sort of candy in Australia?

Jocks is another name for underwear

Got it this morning. Listened to it a whole bunch of times on today’s road trip.
