Thematisch reichen seine Lieder von Gesellschaftssatire über Sex-Fetische bis zu seinen eigenen gescheiterten Rock-Star-Ambitionen. Einen besonderen Stellenwert nehmen religiöse Themen ein. Minchin, selbst <a href="Atheismus" title="Atheismus">Atheist</a>, ist der Meinung, dass es für Religion als eine der stärksten und einflussreichsten Kräfte der Welt keine satirischen Grenzen geben dürfe.

Drei Jahre später führte er ein Lied über den namentlich genannten Kritiker Phil Daoust auf, in dem er grausamen Gewaltphantasien freien Lauf ließ und den Familienangehörigen des Kritikers den Tod wünschte. Der Kritiker hat, zu einer Stellungnahme aufgefordert, erwidert, dass er das Lied nicht gehört habe und dass sein Leben dafür zu kurz sei. Immerhin habe er sich zu Rezensionszwecken schon eine ganze Show von Minchin anhören müssen.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
