I’ve already featured Albi The Racist Dragon and The Humans Are Dead on this blog, but I had to share their song Issues (aka Think About It) with you, as I believe it’s the funniest thing they’ve ever done. Watch the whole thing – you won’t regret it. (RSS readers click here to view):
But to make this the last – and definitive – Flight Of The Conchords post, here is a guide to all my favourite FotC songs, with links. Enjoy.
The Humans Are Dead – Two robots discuss a future apocalyptic world without humans or elephants. Very funny.
Albi The Racist Dragon – The song FotC used to single-handedly eradicate racism in New Zealand. While not a screamer, this one is a must-see just for the concept. Racist dragons, indeed.
Jenny – I quite like this one. Brett impersonates a woman very well.
Hiphopopotamus vs Rhymenoceros – One of their pioneering gangsta rap/folk hybrids. Several classic moments, such as when Jermaine tries to freestyle.
The Most Beautiful Girl In The Room – How do you compliment a girl, and insult her at the same time? FotC have this down.
I’m Not Crying - FotC’s epic romantic breakup song. Oh, the heartbreak.
Sello Tape – Reflections on romance and sticky tape by the FotC love doctors.
Mother Uckers – As you can probably tell from the title, this song is about bank fees and racist fruit vendors.
Wrongness warning on some of the following. Handle with care.
If You’re Into It – This is wrong. Very wrong. Funny though.
Business Time – Not one of my favourite FotC songs. Sarz put it on her blog.
She’s So Hot – Boom! – FotC channel Shaggy. What?
Bowie Song – I would probably find this much funnier if I were familiar with David Bowie’s music. Never mind.
Frodo, Don’t Wear The Ring – We made it. Hooray!
Of course, there are other songs not included here, mainly from their TV series. Feel free to point out the ones that I’ve missed.

There can never be enough FotC. Ever.
A golden selection of their stuff. Thank you, thank you for bringing this to the masses and to a central place for me to come and remind myself how good they really are.

Don’t forget, I was the one to bring your attention to issues. That’s right, me. Without me you would have never seen that clip, thus that-particular-clip-lost and your life…err…that-clip-less…which is…bad. Yeah.
So thanks goes to me. Hehehe. =p
Issues is the king of their selection, hands down. Freakin hilarious!
You should see this one also: Foux Da Fa Fa

One of the ones from their TV series. Although their live stuff is definitely better, I quite liked this one. Bret and Jermaine try to pick up French girls. Of course the problem is they don’t speak French. Pretty catchy song

Haha hilarious!
These guys came from nowhere and now there massive in the states. We don’t even hear about them much anymore in New Zealand. I remember for years they were on this comedy show called skitz It was kinda funny but didn’t really show their potential. Now there big time. Yea boys!

Indeed, and it’s great to see see FotC make it big stateside while still retaining their New Zealand-ness.
Sarz, I quite like Foux Da Fa Fa, particularly the supermarket scene. Good random humour.
Molk, good to hear from you again!

It’s nice to see the greatest show on HBO receive some recognition. I have been engaged in a campaign to educate the world about this awesome comedy. Bret, Jermaine, and Murray are the three greatest characters on T.V. today.

I haven’t had a chance to view the show apart from YouTube clips. Hopefully it’ll air in Australia soon so I can watch it properly!
Keep up the campaign, everyone! FotC for President!*
* and Vice President, cos there’s two of them. Just thought I’d point that out before someone else does
