Song Currently Stuck in My Head: Ladies of The World
I’ve been watching Flight of The Conchords due to numerous people liking them. Also, I saw them live in Ann Arbor some time in May. They’re pretty funny.
Anyway, most of their songs are kind of the type that wouldn’t be that great, except that they have jokes in them. Honestly, if the songs weren’t funny as well, they wouldn’t have as much sticking power, I think.
There’s one song that shows up later in the first season called “Ladies of The World.” I think it’s the real deal. And it’s currently stuck in my head. The way the percussion lines up with the guitar and the crazy sexy bass line? Yeah, it’s the real deal. And I guess the lyrics are pretty funny, too. And the special music video… Okay, maybe it’s just because the song is funny. I don’t know anymore!

Flight of the Conchords are great! However, I feel like many of their songs seem funnier at their live shows than on their TV show, for some reason. Not holding my breath for the second season – seems like they burned up all their material on the first one.
I agree with the live stuff being funnier. They just say a lot of random crap between songs that’s funnier than the TV show. Like they had this long story about time-traveling acid where they were at a party and talked Bret talked to David Bowie and gave him an “Easy to Play Bowie” book and Jemaine being in the bathroom with Tina Turner (young and old). It was pretty weird. And I dunno about the next season either. The last few episodes weren’t that great…
