  • too fast, it ruins the comedic timing that the original uses

  • awesome cover, guys!

  • Comment removed

  • both brilliant, but bret/jenny absolutely nailed it. superb.

  • "i love andy's parties" is fuckin hilarious

  • Haha the bret guy was way funnier and had a better voice

  • this is the BEST FOTC cover I've heard.

  • We are still laughing after watching over and over. "I love Andy's parties" is the best. Where can we find more of Ben and Alex on YouTube?

  • haha ben. nice going.

  • That was pretty good.  :]

  • I'ma kiwi girl and I love FOtC, these guys did good.

    Great cover

  • There you go guys! Kiwi approved!

  • Yeah, great job. I was actually there that night and had seen this before, but this was more funny in person. Awesome job.

  • AWESOME! You guys did the song justice!

  • i thinky ou guys did a great covor ont he song :D did it justice!

    well done!

  • I agree this a way better cover than some I've seen. At least they are playing the song (see the REAL LIFE guitars?).

    What's that old adage?: you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.

    I will be constructive with my feedback: to the naysayers here: If you don't like it, make a better one.

  • it's not really the accent that makes it lose its funny, it's the enunciation? i mean with jemaine there is a distinct lisp on some of his words which makes it hilarious and no one is going to have the timing of fotc

  • lose*

  • learn how to spell before you insult people.

  • kid is called mistyping. i corrected myself immediately. just cause your mother's a grammar nazi doesn't mean you should be one.

  • this is the only cover i've ever seen of Jenny and I think you guys did pretty good :D

    but did the crowd know that it was a cover or they think it was yours?

  • Yeah good cover but on the day you took all the credit for a song that's not yours. Big fat 1* for this I'm afraid!

  • .. he never said it was his

  • best cover of this song i've seen by far. awesome job.

  • You guys are amazing. Not many people can go on stage and perform as well as you did. Madd props!

  • doesnt due them justice

  • Looks like the old Canterbury High School kids are up to it again. Nice!

  • i watched so many jenny covers and this is the only one that doesnt suck

  • great job

  • really good

  • i think this is the best cover of fotc ever besides 1 w/ if ur into it by this guy!

    but very gud i love the fact that they share fotc w/ the world of highschool

  • Actually I think this is a great cover- one of the best FOTC covers I've seen. From the difficulty most people have covering this kind of stuff I think the order is: first learn how to cover this stuff well- which is hard, but you guys have done a good job- then only later apply that to creating your own stuff. Best way is to learn from the masters right? Well done.

  • I agree that covers are not very original... haha- but its not bad compared to some of the rubbish covers iv seen- But try writing your own songs... 10x cooler

  • Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... Blah blah blah... As if you've ever come up with your own joke, every day, for the past 120 days a year... 2hrs worth for a full on, one man show... c'mon, we've all copied our heroes, our inspirations... regaled at the telling of a manly joke in the locker rooms...

    (a priest and a frog walk into a bar...) Or Mel Gibson... whatever.

  • I agree..i think they did a great job..and its a pretty pretty hard song to master like FOTC actually do :) so good for them!

  • wait a minute.. I remember when i was in high school, you cant do covers in talent shows you gotta come up with ur own stuff..

    On a SIDE note..its never funny ripping off comedy skits, the audience apparently find it funny because they have never heard of Flight of the Conchords so it seems fresh and new to them..just Stop doing covers of FOTC.

  • i agree, they are not original

  • This is just a lame rip off!!!!!!!!!!

  • ahaha, this was pretty similar to the original. I'm impressed. I think you guys should have changed it up a bit, though. Made it your own.

    i agree with some of the people here, who say that you rushed through it. a lot of the humour in the original comes from the awkward silences. try to think about that for the next time, if you guys ever perform it again.

  • John/Brian does not too bad a job on the Kiwi accent...not exactly correct, but not AMERICAN! Thanks for that....

    Here's a Kiwi classic - see if you can understand it...watch?v=1QNr_77cboI

  • the greatest flight of the conchords tribute ive ever seen. im SO doing this for my talent show.

  • what are the tabs for that baby? I just play open D open A and a barred G# and A

  • that was sweeet

    good job

  • FUCK YEAH

  • Some of it's dead on, but not all of it.

    This is the best cover I've seen so far though. :D

  • i'm sorry, but no one can really do justice with any fotc covers... the conchords just have brilliant comedic timing and acting chops. but you guys did well. peace.

  • you guys rushed through this too fast.

  • That's sick, I love you see something that inspires you to pay tribute to it. And the folk parody style that The Conchords came up with is a great thing for 2 people to perform.

  • It wasnt bad, nice job

  • naw, man. they were really good :)

  • of course jermaine and bret do it better they wrote it, but this was fantastic, such a choice , did u win anything?

  • it's ok but jermaine and bret do it way better

  • Great Job A.T Your My boy....

  • dude you guys were awesome

  • brill guys! great cover!! go on!!!

    greetz from europe

  • dont listen to any of the negatives out there, u guys are great

  • is it just me or does it lose its funny when there's an American voice doing it?

  • i concur..

  • they didn't do too bad...but yeah, the american accent does make it lose some funny...

  • excellent.

  • Awesome - great to see Flight of the Conchords travels so well.

  • Great cover. I hope you guys gave proper credit to Flight of the Conchords, though.

  • awsome

  • you guys killed my favourite song :(

    ONLY true kiwis can pull it off sorry :)

  • "ONLY true kiwis can pull it off sorry :)"

    alright genius where's your cover?

    im sure it will come out perfectly by default since you're from new zealand

  • Dude you guys killed it out there. I loved it...please tell me that you won the contest?!?!

  • great job guys!!

  • Brilliant! Nice job.

  • Amazing, you guys totally nailed it!

  • :D great job! hope you guys one that was damn good! sounded like the audience loved it aswell! thumbs up people

  • haha really good job guys:) You did a great cover of that song. Im actually thinking about doing that song in a talent show at my school.

  • Excellent performance guys. Hilarious take on it.

  • Good job guys!

  • good job guys

  • this was my favorite act

  • i love andys parties is halariousss

  • hahaha, very nice...I like the little uptempo flare you've added..kinda got your own style in there...nice job guys

  • halarious, they did such a good job with this cover. i like it better when ben says "i love andys parties" than when flight of the conchords say it.

  • hahaha so funny
