There are just too many to mention. My favourite YouTube clip is Issues:

There are so many great ones, it's hard to pick any favourites. I love the live version of the Bowie Song, its way better than the version on the show.

Beautiful Girl, Bret, You Got It Going On and Inner City Pressure are some other favourites.

BaZmO*

If You're Into It, Business Time, Jenny, and the French Song all crack me up.

Plus, all jokes aside, they are actually great tunes.

Well obviously Business Time is the old classic-

Jenny's brilliantly cringey though-

And my favourite song from the series has to be Bret, you got it goin on-

Flight of the Conchords rule!

God I have no idea how I missed this when it was on!! I love Beautiful Girl its so funny and a great tune as well.

I've only just discovered it on youtube. Can't believe I missed it when it was on BBC4. Although, as an aside, BBC4??!! WTF? They get one of the best and most original comedies in years and bury it on BBC-bloody-4! Sorry.

It's so hard to pick individual songs, so I'll pick bits of songs. In "Issues (Think About It), I love the "What man, which man, what makes a man a man. Am I a man? Yes, technically I am." bit. Also, the bit about sneakers being too expensive considering they're made by slave children.

I also love the "Did Steve tell you that perchance? Hmmm... Steve!" bit in "Hiphopapotomous vs Rhymenocerous". I love all FotC but those are two small wee bits that crack me up every time.

Delighted to see that more people are getting into FotC. I been harping on about them to my friends for ages but only gotten a few who have actually checked em out. Most of them love them though!

Brian CivilEng

Has to be the song that alterted me to their existance, Albi the Racist Dragon. About five years ago David O'Doherty used to perform a cover version of it and always credited them, he's the reason I checked them out in the first place.

Did you know that Flight of the Conchords were the first ever headliners in Kavanagh's comedy Club in Portlaoise back in 2003!

Wow glad I found this thread. Had heard one or two people mention these guys favourably, but having watched some of the live performances, I must say I am enjoying them alot.

"The Humans are Dead" is a masterpiece of comic writing, as is the touching love song "If that's what you're into".

Just recently started watching them - so many great bits from the show and songs.

One of my favourites has to be the Pet Shop Boys inspired 'Inner City Pressure\

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RC0DdrHbGg

"The manager, Bevin, starts to abuse me,
Hey man I just want some muesli"

Also their acid-trip song is great. Bret's face just makes me laugh.

How do you know who the songs were inspired by? Heard there's a few songs/vids inspired by other artists

Well I listen to music. And when they do a song that sounds like another band I've heard I figure in my noggin "Hey that sounds a lot like XXX, I bet that's what they're going for there."

Easy really.

It's called "Part Time Model" - classic stuff!

"You're a legend Dave...!"

Of course there's also the classic "Ladies of the World":

It's called "World Music". One of my faves! "It's got to be sweet 16, not M16s" - lol

How do you know who the songs were inspired by?

Just listen to them.

Also their acid-trip song is great.

"Prince of Party" - great video!

One of my favourites has to be the Pet Shop Boys inspired 'Inner City Pressure\

"City Life".

If You're Into It, Business Time, Jenny, and the French Song all crack me up.

"Croissant" - another gem!!

BTW - not being a cock correcting people - I presume people would prefer to know the names. I have all the tracks, and they're the 'official' song names!

sinkin

It's actually called "Something Special For The Ladies" from Folk The World Tour - Live Album

Snake Nose

They renamed it for the TV series.

K_P

Wow. Thank goodness I can now properly enjoy FotC now that I know all the names the songs have ever had. :rolleyes:

Seriously, let's not start down this road.

sinkin

You're right- let's just lay down our weapons and pick up a woman.
What a peaceful world this world would be :cool:

Pigman II

get lost pimp

Mr E

Spammy post deleted (Pigman isn't going mad)

watna

Just discovered FoTC recently. It had me in tears laughing!

My fave is definitely the rhymenocoros vs the hiphopopotamus. I liked it so much I changed my tagline!

SteveDPirate

FotC is the funniest TV show I've seen in a long time. I don't think there's any song I don't like.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Frodo Don't Wear The Ring. That cracks me up.:pac:

Dr.Slurm

Glad to see FotC are getting the recognition they deserve!

I remember a few favourite tv show moments of mine:

- Jemaine's idea for a band poster:


- Pretty much any scene with Dave in it.

E.g. When Jemaine goes missing, possibly dead - Dave: Hey guys, remember that time he got his hand caught in that jar? What a dick. I mean, who gets their hand caught in a jar? What a big ****ing asshole he was.

or

Dave: I think you've gotta use honesty here... I mean...you know... it's always the best policy. Like, the other day there was five... well maybe there was like four... really hot foreign chicks (either like Swedish or Korean) in my shop, and they were like "Dave, we wanna have a five way with you." I just told them, "Honestly, Okay."

Favourite Song: Inner City Pressure. Genius.

Táck

seen my first two eposides last nite. where have i been!!!!!!!!!

what a show, really is quality stuff. demetri martin even making an appearance (my no.1 comedian)

the two i seen, a splinter band were formed, Dogggs Arf-Arf and the other one was where one guy dates the others guys ex. the song about crying...quality

egan007

The Humnas are dead - excellent sketch

chin_grin

Hmm, in having only watched the first four episodes I don't have many scenes to choose from.......best so far? BINARY SOLO......or no wait, the Hiphop-potamus Vs Rhymenocerous. I always wet myself at the following line;

Jemaine:
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorous
Poppin' off the top of this esophagus
Rockin' this metropolis
I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
Steve.

Mr E

I think Jemaine's first lines in that song are funnier....

They call me the hiphopoptamus
My lyrics are bottomless
Emmm.... *cough*

eamon234

Mutha Uckas is my favourite - He's gonna wake up in a smoothie!

Check out the BBC Radio series if you can come across it it's brilliant same kind of thing except they're based in London - Rob Brydon narrates and Neil Finn even pops up every now and again!

KateF

Alas, I knew there had to be an FOTC thread somwhere on boards!

I love Murray!! "You look like a pair of cool looking idiots!"

Murray: "I'm so angry, I could swear!!"
Bret "Awh you wouldn't swear at us Murray!"
Murray: "Go fcuk yourself Bret!!" lol oh I loves it

Fave song would have to be 'The French Song' with Albi the Racist Dragon a close second. Or Inner City Life. What happened to those other underpants you had?! hehehe

Mr E

Roll on Season 2 in January... can't wait to hear some new stuff.

oclugg

Mother uckas. "...I'll pop an apple in your ass."

ashyle

The tragedy that is Murray's life... Leggy Blonde is a classic (I'll never get, never get to be withcha, never get to share another cuppa tea witcha..)

Beautiful

Mr E

Am I the only person who finds Murray really annoying?

BKtje

I find him a bit annoying as well to be fair but he's a necessary evil really

Nalz

Has anybody else seen this series? Its one of the funniest shows I've seen gotta say.

Not true. My 81 year old grandmother hasn't.
So you have just made a false statement. On the INTERNET, of all places.
Oh the shame! I just hope you can live with yourself now.....

LovetohateTV

Easily the best new comedy i have seen since the Office.

Mr E

Merged with existing thread.

ShoulderChip

I like Murray.

chopperbyrne

The Bowie Song, Hiphopoptamus Vs Rhymenocerous and The Humans Are Dead are all brilliant.

Business Time is really good too.

shortys94

Haha I always seem to be singing Foux de fa fa and so many other songs in galway to random people during nights out, hilarious stuff!

We pop the dvd on every night before going out, awesomeness.

KateF

Did Steve tell you that?? STEVE!!

ShoulderChip

The new series is out soon isn't it?
