Aside from being quite annoying, this is really hard to do. Demands a lot of concentration. Try it sometime. Pick a song that you know really well like Happy Birthday and pick a key and then have someone else pick a completely different key. Then try to sing at the same time. It's pretty trippy.

I'm pretty sure that's the guy who was uninvited from a talk show for singing a song about how Jesus was a zombie.

I used to do that singing along with the radio in the car just to annoy my family. And I'd also slip in a wrong word here and there, just to see my mom tip her head to one side... like "did I hear that right?"
Tim Minchin is indeed (and I'm not overstating this) a passionate atheist who thinks Christianity is utterly stupid. He mocks it (and Jesus himself) regularly in his comedy.
He is also a brilliant pianist and a great satirist. You just have to be very selective with his stuff.
A friend of mine and I used to do this in high school choir. The director never found it amusing.
At UNI I played clarinet in the marching band as a freshman (a requirement for instrumentalist majors). There is nothing more pointless than clarinets in a marching band. I proved this point conclusively when I would play a whole song either a half step up or a tritone away. The only people who noticed where the two clarinets on either side of me.
