Flight of the Conchords!

It's no secret that I love these guys! So feel free to post about favourite songs and/or videos by them.

My favourite songs seem to change quite regularly but right now I would say my favourite songs are Most Beautiful Girl (what a great way to kick off their TV show) and Carol Brown (Choir of Ex-Girlfriends) from the second season is a great song. Another song which I think is great is called Hotties which is one of their earlier songs because it's so funky. I love the comedic value of their songs but also find it fascinating how their parodies of particular songs or genres are spot on and executed really well.

OMG, I love FotC too. If you like the show you should check out the BBC2 Radio series they did, funny stuff.
My favourite songs are Bowie, pitch-perfect parody, Rhymnocerous vs. Hiphopapotomus and Leggy Blonde (the song that Murray sings to the tech repair gir) from the first season. I have the album and am always cranking it.
Fashion is Danger is my favourite from the second series.
I wasn't too impressed in how it all ended though, it was a lot like how the radio series ended and I thought they'd do something different.

Too Many Dicks and Sugalumps were my favorites from this season...

My favorite part of the whole show was Murray, though.

Aw, I miss it already!

You guys have mentioned great songs. My fave songs keep changing mainly because I usually end up loving one song at a particular moment in time and then end up over-playing them so I move on to another song.

Haha I love the 80's vibe of 'Fashion Is Danger' "Th-Th-Thatcher" and my favourite part is when they say: "
"Posing at the bar (posing), posing sitting down, (posing) posing in the distance, (posing) posing with my arm, (posing) posing with my leg, (posing) posing like a swan, (posing) posing for a portrait. Posing a threat!" and the chorus is really catchy.

Murray is a legend! One of the quotes of the series: "A taste of your own dick medicine"

I thought episode 5 was the best episode of the second season. Both songs and music videos were strong and the storyline of Keitha the Australian was hilarious.

And yes I've listened to the BBC radio series. I had a feeling it was going to end in the similar way. I noticed that they brought in the storyline of Murray groping people in his sleep from the radio series haha! I quite liked the finale though. Season 3 hasn't been ruled out but it really could end on that note.

I think the best part of FotC are the jokes that are very NZ-centric, and I lived with a Kiwi and a lot of them would go over people's heads from the US and UK i'd reckon, like the joke about Corwded House, Murray wearing an All-Blacks shirt. Small things that add an extra laugh for me anyway.

Inner City Pressure if my favorite song, but I do love pretty much everything they've done.

Yes I suppose there are some little things which may not fully translate to people outside of NZ and Australia. The same could be said for little Aussie references in SHH which I didn't recognise until they were pointed out and explained on the Internet and sometimes I wonder how certain British references translate to overseas audiences when certain British comedies do well overseas. But overall the humour is universal and it's great to know that FotC is appreciated on a global scale.

And I love the New Zealand posters that can be found in Murray's office. It's great spotting them each episode e.g. "New Zealand...ROCKS!!!" (with rocks and mountains in the background) and "New Zealand...Don't expect too much, you'll love it"

A hilarious part of season 2 when Jemaine sleeps with the Australian girl:

My favourite poster is "New Zealand, take your Mum" haha

I love 'Bus Driver's Song', It was the first song I heard of theirs and it's been my favourite ever since!

I just re-watched "I'm not Cryin'" from Episode 1 on YouTube, and I forgot how funny Bret's verse is...please.

"And if I am cryin', it's not cause of you, it's because I'm thinkin' about a friend of mine, you don't know, who is dyin', that's right, dyin'" hahaha I can't!

They don't use that song in the series, but they reference it with the PM.

^ Yeah, I really thought they were going to play that song! It was as if they were teasing their fans

Haha "These aren't tears of sadness because you're leaving me. I've just been cutting onions. I'm making a lasagne....*whispers* for one"- epic

And one of their best lyrics ever is in that song "I'm sitting at this table called love staring down at the irony of life. How come we've reached this fork in the road and yet it cuts like a knife?" - love it

Rhys Darby, the great comedian who plays Murray will be on the first episode of Thank God You're Here this year.
Should be great stuff, TGYH can be pretty funny with the right performers, hopefully he does well.
