Comments like this are really indicative of the failure of musical education. The composer didn't write the note out of tune. That is a quirk of the performance, which was transcribed by Mr. Collier. Transcription is writing down music that already exists in some form, usually for the purpose of analysis. Composition is the process of creating new music from you own ideas.

@@camillebjarnason6222 I had the great joy of seeing him perform that at the Oxford 101 Club as a warm-up for that tour. Not sure if it was the actual premiere of that song, but pretty close. Anyway, in the chorus, after the French interlude, he was encouraging the audience to yell 'Cheese!' back at him. Everyone else was a bit slow, so, being a bit contrarian, I yelled, 'Stilton!' which, he proceeded to spell out in the next chorus. I think it wasn't until the second 'T' in Stilton that he realised that he had one more letter to contend with than 'Cheese,' so he had to jam the 'O-N' into where the final 'E' would have been.

Meanwhile, here I am, with a semi-working understanding of music theory, which lets me understand this, but also with an absolute inability to grasp how people can hear a sung tone (e.g. the classic 440 Hz A) and the same 440 Hz A played on a guitar and a sax or whatever and say that's the same thing. My brain just doesn't let me account for the timbre (the other, background sounds of different frequencies), is what I am able to make out of what I know about my perception of music. Which means that I don't really find this piece strange sounding. Cherish the fact that you can hear it.

And before that (or at the same time), he did "Silent E" and "L-Y" on The Electric Company. Anyway, great job by Tim Minchin. I didn't realize he was this musically talented. Cheers.
