It's Business Time - Flight Of The Conchords on CD and DVD
Listening to 'Business Time' on Triple J about 3 weeks ago was the first time I'd ever heard of 'Flight of the Conchords'. It was a great song but also very, very, funny; in fact I didn't know quite what to make of it at first. It turns out that it was just one of many hilarious songs from their popular TV comedy show.
'Robots' was the next humorous song I heard, and I didn't even know it was them because it's so different from the first! That's what I really like about their music, it's very diverse and very funny. If you haven't heard any of their fabulous songs yet you can listen to some excerpts online at Fishpond (just follow the link to the CD below). Both the CD and DVD of the TV series are available to buy online at discount prices.
"What makes FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS better than either the average television soundtrack or the average musical comedy album is that even aside from the sharp wit and often hilarious lyrics (see: "A Kiss Is Not A Contract" and "Ladies of the World"), singers and multi-instrumentalists Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are genuinely gifted pop songwriters able to craft tuneful, memorable songs in a variety of styles. The genre parodies here, from the gibberish bossa nova "Foux da Fafa" and the deadpan rap cliches of "Hiphopoptamous Vs. Rhymenoceros" to the note-perfect impersonations of the Pet Shop Boys ("Inner City Pressure") and David Bowie ("Bowie"), are more than catchy enough to stand on their own."

Following up on 2007's debut EP, THE DISTANT FUTURE, the full-length FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS features songs from the first season of the New Zealand musical comedy duo's HBO series. Only the brilliant Barry White parody, "Business Time," is duplicated from the EP, although two of its live songs, "Robots" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room" (featuring the surefire come-on "You could be a part-time model/But you'd probably have to keep your normal job"), are given the full studio treatment.

"Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie - a.k.a. Flight of the Conchords - may be New Zealand's 4th Most Popular Folk Parody Duo, but in the USA, finding someone who knows their act is about as easy as finding a kiwi nest in Central Park. To rectify this oversight, Jemaine and Bret have moved to New York's East Village to conquer America, one fan (literally) at a time."
