Flight of the Conchords - New Song - Tower Theatre - 5/5/08

[gruvdrums]

Yah! FOTC! Seattle loves you guys!

[Sunday0nMonday]

great comedic talent, fantastic songwriting ability

[okeyda]

they atre so brilijant!

[cheesebowls]

What's the beginning all about? It sounds familiar.

[notAbohab]

ex girlfriend

[MrFlightOfConchords]

it's called carol brown. awesome song though

[gohanrocs12]

i saw them do this song live in Radio City Music Hall...it was amazing...and it was eerie when all the women did tht call tht bret asked them to do

[lwbtres]

I love how he has the lyrics right next to him

[SidviciousHart]

i saw this performance! it was awesome!

[orangeoblivion]

Meh, wrong key for Jemaine, I think.

[ravenhpltc24]

I can't wait to see them live!!! This song was visually stunning on the show, really it was, but nothing on the show can ever seem to compare to the live versions.

[SnoozieQZ]

I completely agree. Their live performances are better.

[CanaAlyce]

I loved it on the show however this song is so much better live with bret as the voice as the ex girlfriends

[karlbutthole]

i like the newer version of this better... its virtually the same things though

[Deadlydanish]

This is my fave version - and not just coz I saw them do it live.

[katiebugga]

They KILL me with all of their funny manorisms, smirks and sarchastic comments...

[MissKenzieLoVe]

i saw them do this song in ann arbor. absolutely amazing

[bendmymind]

awesome, lol!! I'm wondering if the "Carol Brown took a bus out of town" line was a nod to Simon & Garfunkel maybe? You know, "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover" song. yeah, I know I'm showing my age...

Haha- "Bruce, you never told me you were a man..."

[katehutchnz]

yea i thought that too! he has a line that goes "sixty ways my lover left me" or something like that!

definitely a nod to simon and garfunkel!

[Shizzmonger]

just paul simon

[JonnieZombie]

the talented one.

[slaughteredinsilence]

"Mona you told me you were in a coma"??

Brilliant!

[tikola64]

Can someone post the lyrics, as sometimes it is difficult to understand what they are saying

[asbogranny666]

this song is awesome :D

you can find the lyrics on a site called what the folk, i think.

[CurtainGuy]

Anyone have lyrics for this?? It's hard to hear Bret's falsetto lyrics

[ViolaNinja]

just search for the TV version of the Carol Brown song. The lyrics in that version are easier to understand.

[newbeachinvasion]

It sounds like Albi

[NZartfulskux]

Kill all who diss the conchords! Great song. New Zealand for life - go the Kiwis. Choice one guys!

[tacoslapperful]

@NZartfulskux Would you kill those who make cartoon caricatures of them as well?

[FobTownTosh]

any1 got the tabs for this song??

[mel88123]

SOO JEALOUS.

i love the conchords.

[MissKenzieLoVe]

i saw them perform this in ann arbor and I think it is amazing! I think it may be their best melody ever and bret is surprisely amazing at hitting the high notes! ha I love them

[fightingfish13]

best version

[drelinski]

i first heard this song in columbus. This song is catchy and very humorous. Very good song.

[6FeetFromFine]

i saw them play this in columbus a few days ago. they made some changes that sound really good.

[dolphinsguy013]

i think that song was great dunno why it just woz. Very catchy

[Miranda3636]

ps-does anyone have a full video of the new freaky song??

[jedi98]

they played this in michigan as well. bret is singing as the choir of Jamaine's ex-girlfriends, talking about all the mistakes he made and how he is not boyfriend material. it was very catchy and i love the Omnichord he is playing it adds to the humor. We got to meet them after the show and they were sooo polite and friendly taking time with everyone there. Very nice

[Miranda3636]

I was at that show and we met them too! I really like both new songs! They were awesome. I got a pic w/Jemaine flipping the bird w/me. He was so indulgent and both genuinely sweet. Best day ever.

[jdgew]

can anybody please tell me the lyrics for this? i cant figure out what brets parts are. thanks!

[jdgew]

fuck it in the ass was interesting... it gave eugene some talking points. similar story with free bird. but "your beard is good", "jemainiac", "bretrosexual", and song requests ruined the show. you could tell they were pissed at the audience by the end.

[JakeIsOnTheInternet]

Oh my god, so many people I wanted to take down by the end of the night, I was sitting right around the majority of the hecklers :(

[Eons311]

the hecklers at the show were soooo lame...i was so pissed at this kid in front of me he thought he was the man..."Fuck it in the Ass" kid...he sucked

[klmnumbers]

aw holy crap, I wanna see them live SO bad, but they haven't come anywhere near the south of the states. This song reminds me of my love for bus driver's song. It's kinda pretty and catchy like a normal song, but if you pay attention to the lyrics, it has their same awkward humor. =) Ramona, you said you were in a coma made me crack up!

[fotcmbrocks]

love this song!!!!! fotc are SO funny! love them!!!

[moonspydr]

Wow, glad to see this! I was at the Town Hall show on 5/6 and they were STRICT when it came to picture-taking / video-recording. I was so mad cause I was in the freaking 4th row and don't have ONE shot! This song was great...

[luketc1]

wow nathanjosephs you are the man - really

too bad no one even liked people shouting out song requests and you just made yourself look like a tard - didnt some guy scream SHUT UP! right at you?

[nathanjosephs]

too bad my brett youve got it going on comment was good

someone yelled shut up and the wheres mel. but people have no sense of humor

and i know im the man, thanks

[Deadlydanish]

The bret you've got it going on comment was okay but Jemaine's comeback was brilliant.

[nathanjosephs]

agreed

his comeback just proved how amazing the two are

i love them, thats why i dont consider it heckling

[chickenkarma]

what was his comeback?

[Deadlydanish]

He said, "What about me, sir?"

[nathanjosephs]

you are goddamn right it was

and i was also the one to yell: "brett, you've got it going on"

get at me

[Deadlydanish]

I was there too. I liked this song alot.

[nathanjosephs]

the fuck it in the ass was hilarious.

the song shout outs got annoying.

they didnt say where is mel and murray. they just asked where mel was.

and no, he was not in front of you.

[adidas10254]

what does that mean? how do you know it wasnt in front of him? was it you or something?

[jenblack71]

THANK YOU for this video! Yeah!!! I love this song!

[kaellampe]

Thanks so much for posting this!

I'm sorry you all had to deal with jack-ass hecklers. I can't WAIT for the Milw. show (5 days!!!)....I will personally lynch any hecklers in Milwaukee!!

[nchartier]

Did you? I heard they were as bad there as everywhere else. I asked Bret about it after the show and he said they were used to it - it's annoying but it's part of the shows that they have to deal with regularly.

[raqsyogini]

what they do is so original and brilliant - and anyone who does original and brilliant things will be heckled/criticized/ostricized.

knowing that they have to put up with that yet they still get up and do what they do makes me love them even more. i know it's not always easy.

[rakuencallisto]

Well if you look in the other video of this song, some guy is screaming "PLAY BUS DRIVER SONG! BUS DRIVER SONG!" before they even finished the outro for this song.

You could totally tell it ruined the moment of the song and they weren't having fun anymore. People can't just appreciate all the amazing songs from these guys, they always need to request stuff.

If you're a musician, you'll know it's very very frustrating and kills the mood.

[JenandKatCandy]

LOVE it!!!!! Thanks for recording this and posting it!

[accorddrew]

I was also there and had to tell the guy in front of me I would beat his ass if he shouted Where is Mel and Murray. These guys are awesome

[pkgoal11]

yea the drunk dude who yelled fuck it in the ass during the comedian was directly behind me. it got pretty annoying.

[miamizkitten]

dear poster,

I flippin love you!

[Sargex84]

Loved the show.... but all the assholes who were shouting out songs really ruined it. I'm sure the guys would have played a longer set but the few jerks in the crowd ruined it.

[lasnap]

Agreed...I don't understand why people come to comedy shows and then try to be funny. It clearly isn't going work.

[lasnap]

This was sooo great. Anyone have a good recording of Angels or that Freakiosity song? Drunk girl in my row kept getting up for more beer so I missed a few parts.

[nathanjosephs]

i was there

there new stuff was great
