Flight of the Conchords

[DJCowboy]

So I just did a search for Flight of the Conchords and couldn't find a thread for them! Shame... Well for those that don't know who they are, they are a New Zealand novelty band like Tenacious D but I think they are thousands of times funnier. The two are Jemaine (glasses) and Bret. They also have their own show on HBO that just finished its second season. I highly suggest you, who aren't aware of them, go rent or buy the first season, it is hilarious. Here's some examples of some of their songs:

I liked them years back when they did an HBO Special(Before their Show) but I am not a huge fan of their actually HBO tv show

 

[usmc071984]

these guys r awesome!

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

"Too many dicks on the dance floor" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on HBO. That and the episode where David Bowie appeared to Bret in his dreams.

 

[Jane Burgess]

They are great. That is such a funny show.

 

[carfiguy]

I love these guys. Hilarious

I've only seen a few episodes, don't have the cable. But it's good shit.

I believe that the reason why they didn't have a thread is because they were New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo accapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo. We've set up threads for the other three, we just hadn't got around to setting up one for FoTC.

Who would have guessed how successful they would have been once they threw off the shackles of NZ.

I've seen them on the calendar at a couple venues where I work, but I've never gotten the call for them. I'll have to check them out the next time they're in town.

 

[BlueBalls]

It's a really good show. They're great live also :hatsoff:

 

[DJCowboy]

I would say though, Murray is my favorite character in the show

"You don't have to be a prostitute!
No no no no no
You can say nooooo to being a man ho.

A male gigilo!

You don't have to beeee a prostitute
No no no no no
You can say no to being
A night looker, boy hooker, rent boy bro ho!"


That song fucking rules. Sting was taking notes. :rofl:


And the Ashes to Ashes Era David Bowier Spirit Guide? Epic win.

I love this song Ladies of the world.

B+J: If every soldier in the wo-orld
Put down his weapon and picked up a woman
What a peaceful world this world would be-eee�
B+J: Redheads not warheads
Blondes not bombs
We're talkin' about brunettes not fighter jets
J: Oooh Oooh it's got to be Sweet 16's not M-16's
When will the governments realize it's got to be funky sexy ladies?
B: I have a vision and all I can see
Is all of you with 'a all of me
In a world of peace and harmony
Where every lady gets a little piece of Bret-y
J: I've been to Paris, Wellington and Amsterdam
And a wham-bam, Merci, Danke, thank 'a you ma'm
I don't care if you're ugly or you're skanky or you're small
I just wanna do a little something special for y'all�
B + J:All the ladies, in the world, you deserve it, Girrrrrrl�

 

[Spleen]

Funny, but a lot of the time annoying and not very funny. I wonder how long they will last...

 

[Oito]

just saw them live last night actually, great show!

 

[Montrealman]

Excellent show.
