Flight of The Conchords

Flight of The Conchords are one of my favorite bands that I have heard. They are best known for their show on HBO that has released two great seasons. The show is how I first heard of "Flight of The Conchords". The band is so great because they can make any type of song funny. The two members, Bret McKanzie and Jemaine Clement, both play folk guitars, sing, and play other instruments like synthesisers great together. Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie are a great duo to listen to both musically and comedy wise. In 2005 they were named Best Alternative Comedy Act. Their best song in my oppinion is called "The Most Beautiful Girl in The Room". Take a look at a section of lyrics that I took from the song.

Looking at the room, I can tell that you
Are the most beautiful girl in the...room.
In the whole wide room.
And when you're on the street, depending on the street.
I bet you are definitely in the top three
Good lookin' girls on the street.
Depending on the street.

A funny and somewhat true quote that Flight of The Conchords said is "We used to be "New Zealand's 4th most popular guitar-based,digi-bongo,acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo". But now they are much more popular and get a lot more attention from viewers, fans, and the media. This categorization is actually stunningly accurate. I could not stick Flight of The Conchords with a more fitting genre if I tried.

The first season of the show was hilarious and filled with subtle humor and witty comments about city life and Australians. The most recent season of the show has become very Americanized and lacked the witty hummer that the first season had. The quality of the music in the show however was still just as good as the first season of the show. Every episode of the show features at least two or three songs, that are featured on their CD's and live performances.

Another great song from this Flight of The Conchords is called "Business Time", which is great song about what sex is like after a long period of time in a long term relationship. These are some of the lyrics from the song

It`s business time.
Next thing you know we`re in the bathroom brushing our teeth.
That`s all part of it, that`s foreplay.
Then you go sort out the recycling.
That`s not part of it but it`s still very important. Then we`re in the bedroom.
You`re wearing that ugly old baggy t-shirt from that team building exercise you did for your old work.

Flight of The Conchords is one of my favorite musical performers, because their hilarious songs and TV show are able to make fun of any type of song or event. Their show is also one of my favorites out there. I love the way that Flight of The Conchords in their songs make fun of everyday life.
