Rambling Through The Avenues Of Time - Flight Of The Conchords (Lyrics)

[MeloDeath31]

"Oh, when was this?"

[ChrEmil]

Where can i get the awesome painting of the black dog?

[wistofindu]

How can i learn the piano Part? Im so angry!

[Thorenus]

Quite sad, really... 

[kofimazu]

i want a beard that is woven of heartache

[noodleX2d996]

I think that This song actually sounds quite sad UnU .... Anditkindaremindsmeoffeferiand­eridan.... Definitelyattheendingthoughlol

[JeffersonAirplane1]

This kinda sounds like Piano Man by Billy Joel

[milkyjoe06]

@JeffersonAirplane1 That's what I thought!

[FrazzleAndTheWolf]

Oh yeah? Sounds a bit gay.

[asuramundos]

11 people are frigid, old, 13 year olds.

[ggdevle]

cannot get this song outta my head!!

[iWantToGuitar]

days went by years went by... when was this? lol

[TheLadyStarfish]

I was in a cafe the other day and suddenly was like OMG they're playing flight of the conchords! But it turned out to be Piano Man. Which this is a spoof of. Dammmmmn.

[Chesbor]

Did anyone else notice that when Bret plays the keyboard and they change cameras he's using different hands for each keyboard? i.e. the right hand when facing the window and the left hand when facing Jermaine.

[SwtAshleyMarie]

beautiful lyrics

[simon1york]

this is my favourite song from the second series

[senri44]

i don't want to know anyone who dosn't like this

[scttsherer1217]

What a beautiful song

[ColombiaCOLOMBIA100]

sounds like piano man

[csscszcsgv]

0:31 friendly little hand

[AokKoga]

"I made 95% of that up."

"Which part is true?"

"I....saw a girl."

[SethyBouy]

mmmmmm...MAYBE!

[slitherinprincess2]

i love how he actually went out to get some bread, and forgot it, then jemaine is like "but i got all my fillings out and everything, all i needed was the bread" then bret goes "well i got distracted by this girl i saw"

[0wallaby0]

Even though this song is a bit of a micky-take, I would definitely still melt if Bret sang me this. He is just incredible. I mean: 'your beard is woven of heartache'... Just wow.

[KaYaKo5ToshiO]

They wear the same shirts all the time. I feel observant by recognizing the shirt B's wearing. I couldn't tell you where I last saw it, though.

[LibraHorse1]

Anyone else notice the hand in the closet that took the clarinet away?

[thorish3]

Whenever I feel all badass and deep about my writing, i listen to this, and it puts my bitch ass in its place! haha

[ledzeppelin2468]

@TVnater. Well, "water of bathroom" really... Its funny but the french call the bathroom the toilette

[thepittbullhimself]

Search for "Where do you go to my lovely" on youtube, they're similar!

[TVnater]

"Her perfume was Eau De Toilette"

"What does that mean?"

Water of Toilet.

I shit you not.

[ksmg1997]

I made 95% of that up...

I saw... a girl...

[gettingkilt]

I think that though the tune is "Piano Man", the song is a pastiche of "Where Do You Go To, My Lovely". If it sounds mysterious and French and metaphorical, that's why.

[pheri0]

@gettingkilt Thought the exact same thing too the first time I heard it.

[hai31]

This secret Cherie sounded like a very wonderful girl. Even though Bret made 95% of that up.

[opdh]

She looked like a perisian river

What dirty?

[CRAZYMARSFAMILY]

i <3 Bret's shirt!

[LibraHorse1]

0:32 Bret has a random arm in his closet!

[Superphilipp]

Billy Joel says thanks.

[bigalr24]

I love at 0:32 he hands the bass clarinet back to a mysterious hand lol

[emusic45]

This is the absolute funniest of funny. Nothing is better. It's perfect.

[ultra44891]

here's the trick.. i clicked to mp3ifier.com to convert youtube videos to mp3s.

[LittleTokyoOff]

sing us a song your the piano man

[kraken589]

bret did any of this actually happen

[MeaganWood]

"She was like Shakespeare's Juliet..." "Thirteen?!" XD That made me laugh.

[MissDiscoDreams]

On rivers of ribbon and sailboats of songs

That's some pretty deep poetry :p

[skater74297]

reminds me of the beatles a little bit

[marvelmills]

@skater74297 It's Catch the Wind by Donovan. Great song. Give it a listen

[foodroundthecorner]

My initial idea in seeing this video is "who the hell is in their apartment that they are handing bass clarinets off to?!" The disembodied hand from the other room always made me wonder about what goes in there.

[TrentYamasaka]

@FOTC0123 It might just be me, but i think at the "She handed me a broken memory

A keepsake to forever-more save" bit, he says Say, not save. not 100% on it but it seems to be

[FOTC0123]

@TrentYamasaka You are right =] It was 'Say'

I've changed it now,

Thanks ^-^

[HidansLollipop22]

hmmm...sounds a bit gay...

[megaman351000]

what piano's are those there cool.

[Superphilipp]

@megaman351000 A Wurlitzer E-Piano (an a200 by the looks of it), and some toy keyboard, probably a Casio or something like that.

[Jodabenzo]

I've been waiting here with all my sandwich fillings all ready! lol

[KuroiKarite]

I can play the piano bit on this. It sounds so awesome.

[megaman351000]

@KuroiKarite you should show us how, it is awsome, i want to learn it.

[NoahCr]

What is this to the tune of?

[LubeTube20]

@NoahCr Piano Man by Billy Joel

[14devilpup]

@NoahCr Piano Man. Sort of

[SladenDeadProduction]

These guys are my idols.

[JadedMasquerade1]

reminds me of winter oh frigid hahaha

[Leoniduskid]

Can someone please get bass tab for this!! please, like the little riff at the end

[TheDarrman]

It reminds me of "Where do you go to my lovely" by Peter Sarstedt, but thats probably just me.

[memyselfetc]

no, I agree. I think it sounds a lot more like "where do you go my lovely" than piano man

[Gamegeek118]

@memyselfetc It sounds like both!

[Glitcherzz]

@TheDarrman its a parody of that song

[MaddermadcatYT]

@TheDarrman

I fully agree, I actually loaded the comments just to see if anyone else thought so. Both awesome songs

[RandoMAlex3107]

She looked like a Parisian river

(What, dirty?)

LMAO!!!

[emersontotalyconfuse]

very pretty song,a little folk. :)

[SlappaDeBassMon]

"whats that mean?" lol awesome

[SabrinatheMindfreak]

Elton John?!?!? Omg! its a parody of an elton john's "The Piano Man" are you serious?!?!? YAYYY!

[DeinDiscoBeast]

@SabrinatheMindfreak Piano Man is Billy Joel :)

[missdexterity]

your beard is woven of heartache

[ZHMProductions]

Piano Man!

[DeizeKnutts]

Lol this definitely sounds inspired by a Billy Joel song. Good Song!

[velora18]

Bret: 95% of it is true

Jermaine: what is true then?

Bret: I saw a girl...

loooool

[maxgenill]

Loved it!

[whalehunter321]

song is a hilarious as it is awesome

[maxgenill]

I accidently hit thumbs down I meant to hit thumbs up though sorry ^^)

[Tomaji]

Am I the only who thinks Brett is really cute? <3

[qtalkwithkandp]

MEEEEEE.

[shadowviper0010]

love these peeps

[TheRipperRypien]

Probably one of the best scenes in the season.

[thedepersonified]

she looked like a Parisian river

what, dirty?

[94cooperman]

OMFG, Love this

Flight Of The Conchords <3

[kareokemaster]

love this show

[meganplautz]

Jermaine is so funny!!!!

[RedRoseSpeedway09]

"Where are you going with this Brett?"

ahhaha

[alliwolbs]

"she was comprable to Chleopatra!"

"quite old."

"she's like Shakespeare's Juliet!"

"..or 13?"

lol!!

[oiluvit]

The moon is a horny old drunkard

[MistaJohnsonG]

"She reminded me of a winter's morning"

"What? Frigid?"

lol

[johnph96]

"which pit true?" HA LOL FOTC FTW

[oljepumpar]

Fuckin hilarious ;D !

[SpiderSempronius]

I love this so much and I don't even know why.

[21xxxMYSELFxxx12]

FOTC FTW! flippin brilliant!

[yourvigilante]

The other inventions are details,

Because I prefer her that way.

This season is wonderful! Love the pisstakes of various music genres. Brett is an amazing musician.

[MuseNerd]

She looked like a chocolate eclair...

-That's rare!

XD

[shelbyville172]

She reminded me of a winter's morning

(What, frigid?)

[taranickle1]

Definitely Peter Sarstedt. The song screams Natalie Portman and Jason Schwartzman in Hotel Chevalier.

[jmbretter]

thought the same.

[slushie126]

Sounds a bit like The Kinks' "where do you go my lovely"

[shmwy]

Do you mean Peter Sarstedt? It does sound a lot like it.

[deliriousstudios]

It IS a parody of piano man, especially melody wise. It's a not a coincidence that it sounds alike.

[tredlow]

Can't wait for the next season!

[idiotwithaAK47]

There's going to b another season??? NO WAY!!!

[tredlow]

They're not working on it yet, since the band's working on a new album. But once they're ready, they'll begin production.

[Mrlzman]

Last I heard, they weren't sure if they wanted to make another season, since it takes longer to write and film a season than it takes making an album, plus they have to write more songs than they would for an album.

[tredlow]

Yeah, but it's not like they can't make a season AFTER they make an album.

[Mrlzman]

The question for the concords is not if they could, it is if they want to make another season.

[tredlow]

Well, yeah. But why wouldn't they?

[Mrlzman]

"It's sooo hard to get through one because you have to record two albums worth of material, and write a sitcom at the same time it would take to do an album," Clement said. "The next time, we have to write the songs as well, it's even harder. So, I don't know, it doesn't seem worth it for us, I guess."

The final decision on the future of the show will be taken next month, but, according to Jermaine, they are leaning against another episode.

[tredlow]

Aargh. Man, I'm gonna miss them if the show ends.

[thedepersonified]

same. but i thought season 2 ended well. luckily they're still continuing their music

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

Where'd you get that quote from?

And did you mean (with your last statement) that they're leaning towards not doing any more episodes?

[iamshanla]

brett can sing man what a beautiful voice

[Bapho23]

it sounds like piano man by billy joel

[iamshanla]

no for starters its missing the piano, sorry m8 it sounds nothing like piano man

[vsilver839]

It is a parody they even mirror some of the same lyrics "we'll drink for the lonely tonight."

[cky923]

hahhaha i noticed that too

[scrutchpipe]

The lyrics and the general feel are a lot like 'Where Do You Go To My Lovely' by Peter Sarstedt - seems a lot more like that song than the Billy Joel one to me

[distinctlyminty]

I thought that.

[gisforgillett]

This is actually called 'Rambling Through the Avenues of Time," it's on the new album

[FOTC0123]

Thanks x3 I haven't been checking any updates to the new album :D I will change it now :]

[gisforgillett]

no prob

[123rockinrabbit123]

I love this song :) It makes me happy :)

[xpolkadotgirlx]

this is actually really beautiful

yet hilarious all at the same time.

[MikZzona]

Sounds a lot like Piano Man from Billy Joel... Any chance it may be a parody of that song ?

[PRTS6660]

Not at all

[chitterchitter]

I agree, it sounds a lot like Billy Joel Piano Man-I was wondering what it reminded me of- I'm glad I looked down at the comments!! :)

[AtomicGecko]

the chords are actually very similar, but in D rather than C. i think it's sort of a parody/tribute to that genre of song in general.

[Kgkvb]

I don't think it's a parody but it does have a similar ring to it.

[tle123rox]

its like suga lumps with my humps (blacxk eyed peas). though they dont sound like eachother. though i believe its a parody of that song. though this definitly isnt a parody though all the songs of season two either sound like a song or is a parody of a song.

[iamshanla]

no it doesnt im sorry it doesnt

[Claritaitaita]

Bret's got it going on.

[ck2300]

Sounds like their song, Jenny, from One Night Stand

[Brakk4]

also it is "Her eyes were reflections of ice"

?

[LRyder54321]

its her eyes are reflections of eyes, i thought. theyre hilarious xD

[FOTC0123]

I knew it :D thats what I had it as before

[sharonylove]

eyes were reflections of eyes

[Brakk4]

I think its - She looked like a parisian river , not a persian river.

[xtotaldestructionx]

what, dirty?

[doyoulikeithot]

I think he says "the moon is a horny old drunkard"

Not 100% sure but makes more sense to me :P

[FOTC0123]

You're right, that does sound like the correct lyrics

Weird ?? :D

[Aluriaphin]

Ya, that's what he says.

[Warratron]

you messed up on a few lyrics i do believe.

She said "your beard is woven of heartache

We'll drink for the lonely tonight"

She looked like a chocolate eclair

Thats rare

but thats just what i hear when listen to the song

[FOTC0123]

I have corrected the lyric mistakes . . I hadn't got round to it yet sorry . .

It's ''She said "your beard is woven of heartache"

And we'll drink for the lonely, tonight''

:D

[mommyimhungry]

HAHAHA

"Which part's true?"

"I .. saw a girl."

[SPfieldwork002]

it does sound a lot like piano man

[tair001]

"oh yeah?...sounds a bit gay"

LOVE the little asides!

[dreamweave21]

tremendous stuff once more

[pearce15]

sounds like piano man by billy joel

[Aluriaphin]

My mom said that as soon as it started to play!

I realized it when I was trying to sing it in the shower, and it came out as "Now Paul is a real estate-novelist, who never had time for a... Hey wait a second!"

Seeing as FOTC are second only to Billy Joel as my favorite artists, I guess you can see why I love this one so much!

XD

[TaylieandthePufalump]

hahahaha!!! oh my goodness i love you!
