Flight of the Conchords

As of tonight, the 'sband and I have watched all but one of the episodes of the first season of Flight of the Conchords. It's odd and quirky and funny--I'm not going to say it's the funniest thing I've ever seen, but I'm definitely glad I've seen it.

Jemaine and Bret, the members of the band Flight of the Conchords (a novelty-songs duo from New Zealand) play Jemaine and Bret, who are members of the band Flight of the Conchords (a novelty-songs duo from New Zealand.) Each episode has a plot about them being down-on-their luck musicians who are trying to make it big, and then they break into song sometimes.

In my opinion, these are the top three songs from season 1 (unless there's something totally awesome in that last episode--fingers crossed!):

3) "Business Time" (I was going to put this one first, but its doesn't keep up its hilarity on repeat viewings as well as the other two. Also, it's about adult intimate private happenings, just so you know.)



2) "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros" (which are just the greatest rap names ever. Also, the episode this song is in, "Mugged," gets my vote as greatest episode. It's hilarious.)



1) "Most Beautiful Girl"



Apparently, the second season is showing now on HBO, which is probably pretty exciting for people who have that.

No, you're missing the best song: The Tape of Love. And the 3rd best, after Business Time, is If That's What You're Into.

Tape of Love is pretty good. I like those and I'm Not Crying better than If That's What You're Into, though.

Oh... Prince of Parties is my current fave. I really want to learn to play that one.
