Tim Minchin - Taboo Song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ9_Jba_PcY

This song works very well in comedy as it plays on our expectations and turns them on their head. The audience assumes he is talking about the racist word 'nigger', but he is actually playing on this assumption and reveals half way through that he is actually talking about the word 'ginger'. This is something I want to try and use in my piece if possible, I want to play on the audiences assumptions and talk about disability, but make it seem like I am talking about something else to begin with. However, I am not musically talented, so I will not be singing or playing like Tim Minchin does.
