Flight of the Conchords

I now present my current obsession...


"Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular folk-parody duo"

These two are quite the songwriters and performers. They currently have a show on HBO that I think is amazing. To give you a taste of their music here are some of their great lyrics.

"There’s people on the street getting diseases from monkeys
Yeah that’s what I said, they're getting diseases from monkeys
Why's this happening, please, who's been touching these monkeys
Leave these poor sick monkeys alone
They're sick, they’ve got problems enough as it is"

"Yo Frodo, whatcha doin' wearin' the ring?
All-powerful jewelry, is that your new thing?
I know it's hard when you're a little more than three foot four
Little arse so close to the floor.
Trying to lead your fellows through the gates of Mordor
The fellowship, yeah the fellowship.
I don't rap about bitches and hoes, I rap about wizards and trolls.
I'm passin' out the words of the Elven king.
Wisdom to all, 'Frodo, don't wear the ring.'
Frodo, don't wear the ring (The magical bling-bling),
You'll never be the Lord of the Rings.
Dwarves, elves, human beings,
Don't know what it is? It's the Lord of the Rings."

And here is the first video that got me hooked.

Enjoy.
