Product Description
Amazon.co.uk review
Anyone familiar with cultish comedy series Flight of the Conchords will be aware of the wonderful songs that the hapless New Zealand duo Bret and Jemaine concoct for each episode. Tackling all genres, from hip hop and soul to glam rock, the duo create highly original and well-produced tracks that typically satirise the very genre they’re imitating. This album collects together many of the show’s best musical moments, many of them subtly revamped. "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros" and "Boom" illustrate the pair’s hilarious 'rap' skills. "Think About It" parodies socially minded soul visionaries such as Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, "Bowie" satirises the 70s icon (especially his prodigious drug use), while "Inner City Pressure" mimics the Pet Shop Boys. Two of the most memorable songs from the series--"The Prince of Parties" and "The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)"--are also both present, making this the definitive FOTC compilation. The humour ranges from offbeat to downright daft, but there's nothing laughable about the production, which is mostly first class. It's true they could have given us a few new songs, but then how many comedy albums can you repeatedly rewind and find yourself not only laughing, but dancing too?--Paul Sullivan
Description
The Grammy Award-winning folk parody duo's first album is, for fans of their TV and Radio series, an essential collection of their witty songs. Starting as a musical stand-up act,the Kiwi comedians found wider fame and acclaim (and a dealwith Sub Pop) after the success of their HBO TV series, from which the majority of these cleverly observed songs are taken. In particular, the hip-hop parody of 'Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros' and the faux-funk ode to male inadequacy 'Business Time' will impress. Also contains 'Au Revoir', not featured in the TV series.
