terrible. you couldn't even hear it because the audience was laughing at the parts that aren't even funny. the guy on the left has absolutely no sense of rhythm, i doubt he even practiced, and you should have made it clear that you didn't write the song.
and everyone who has seen this video (yourselves included) know damn well that you didn't 'forget'. you just wanted to make everyone at your school think you're funny and good songwriters.
yea tht was a good effort but yea should keep the aids part... (not only because some ppl actually think its true... but also because ppl would prefer having chicken pox than aids... so u know... yay aids fun monkey disease
Its true that it is an actual theory but we were given the ultimatum to change it or not perform for the high school talent show. As you can see we decided to perform it.
It's a pretty damn good effort. Unfortunately it's spoilt by the extremely loud and annoying girl repeatedly laughing like a retard directly into the camera microphone.
I liked it, but do you know what? When I watch people cover FotC I realize how good Bret and Jemaine really are. But fuck it, you were good. Why not say that the song is by FotC (to the audience)?
Hey im actually from New Zealand where flight of da conchords come from, and i just think its kool that you americans actually think we kan be funny enough to cover.
dude... that was really good. i like flight of conchords better of course but you guys did it well. dosnt matter if they dont have good voices its just a funny lyrics haha
im not gunna mention that you didnt credit them cause its been said in previous comments but i do have some other stuff to mention. The guy on the left needs to work on singing. He seems to be in tune fine but jeez keep the tempo. I loose all sense of rythm when you start to sing. What was the deal with the chicken pox comment? Its suppose to be AIDS not chicken pox.
the guy on the left has absolutely NO rhythm, guy on the right is okay.
think you should have credited Flight of the Conchords, though, especially considering your opening, the entire song, and your outtro was directly taken from them.
Wow, i saw this same song on an HBO show the other day and i fell in love with it so i waited for the credits to see who it was by and what it was called...I didn't see a kevin bui and jon gabriel in the credits. Someone should get in touch with the HBO network for not crediting the rightful creators of the song. I think the show was called Flight of the Concords and they also called the song "think about it, think think about it". They are totally trying to pretend they wrote the song.
i think that was the most creative yet. I'm sorry we didn't credit them in the video like your sarcastic comment wanted us to, but i tried to make up for it in our description which you obviously didnt take a look at.
You keep avoiding the problem by claiming ignorance - fact is, you didn't give credit to FotC and as such should be hung and beaten with socks full of oranges.
hey, i wanna tell you guys, brush off the haters, good performance, it's a talent show, you guys did good and you definitely don't have to preface every talent show performance with " hey this is a cover it is understood, good job best cover of any FOTC song here on youtube, some of the others are truly awful
You guys didn't mention that it was a cover of Flight of the Conchords at the show. People (juniors/seniors) at school were talking about what a great song you guys wrote, yet it wasn't original at all, besides the "chicken pox" part. Yeah, we had to change the word "hell" to "heck" too, because it was a HS talent show.
Anyway...it was very funny, and that's all that matters. I'm gonna miss you guys.
Look at the description one more time. Oxford Academy Talent Show 2007. This is from a high school talent show, understand the audience and understand our decision.
ok, you really didn't say anything there. Yea, it's a talent show and the song is not displaying YOUR talent, it's displaying THEIR talent. all i'm saying is that you could have mentioned that FOTC wrote it but the fact that you didn't means you wanted people to think you created it. huh?
"i don't get how you can get chicken pox from monkeys in Africa." My response was saying that it was for a school function where AIDS would be a touchy subject. So, i'm sorry, I did say something pertaining to the comment above.
We've already made it clear that we did not create the material. And please, I don't have to repeat myself when i've already answered everything you bring up on past comments.
You guys really should tell people that it's not your song. All those people are sitting there thinking it's yours and ur taking credit. hell you probably even got laid and that's even more wrong
Look at the description, look at the comments, know the information before you committ to your actions. Just makes you look stupid. o btw, laid? c'mon, really now.
you may not have fooled the people watching youtube but still, you made the "audience" believe that it was your own song you written. it was a good performance, ill give you that, but still IMO, it seems kinda selfish not to credit FOTC. crediting them on youtube will not make up for not crediting them the night of your performance. but still good performance =)))
I'm in a flight of the conchords tribute band and you didn't do badly, just guy on left needs to learn guitar, and not bad voice but SHIT TIMING!! If you sorted that you'd both be awesome, guy on right great performer!
Ok, musicians cover each other's songs all the time and no one bats an eye. You didn't copy FotC, you made it your own. That's great. Some of the laughs were at FotC, but many were for your work. Nice. Great job.
Guys I thought you did a great cover and I like how you're dealing with the weak comments some people are leaving. They're oviously music/comedy natzi's who can't appreciate something for what it is. Power to you guys.
The thing with comedy is that it's pretty lame to do somebody else's. It would be far more impressive to come up with your own song (using FotC as an inspiration) and perform it. Just sayin'.
Haha, that has been brought to our attention many times, and we don't plan to be performing at another high school talent show so it doesn't quite matter.
and most of your videos are not your own songs either. I'm sad you dont even know how to spell their name but of course Flight of the Conchords are better, theyre the original.
haha, i like how you say "stop." Usually that refers to something that habitually happens, you must be watching our video in a perpetual loop. If so, it is youtube, you can press stop for yourself.
Btw, this was for a high school talent show, we were just having fun. I'm sorry it's not up to your standards, so if you want the real thing, it is just a few clicks away :)
Credit the artists during your performance boys. Not only did you pretend you wrote it, you did a weak performance of the original. Get your own material.
you are way out of line. nowhere did they pretend they wrote the song nor are they trying to the fact that this was a cover. and by the way, none of the other bands in this talent show explicitly mentioned they were playing unoriginal material, nor do they EVER. it's assumed that the listener knows. and also, a weak performance? not only did they do flight of the conchords justice, the crowd loved it, as you can easily see.
you said, "not only did they do flight of the conchords justice, the crowd loved it, as you can easily see." and that's just not true. it's easy to see that the crowd loves those guys, not that they did the song justice. dude without a guitar was off on most of his parts. just because 2 popular kids do a cover (and mentioning it's a cover doesn't give fotc credit by the way) doesn't mean it's not a weak performance. it was obvious the crowd loved those guys already.
Wow, popular? Thank you, I've waited all my life to be popular. But, the other side of my bipolar mind is compelled to think that it's not a compliment but rather a stab at our performance. All the while not directly addressing us but another party.
Why must you attack our act by challenging another person? You seem very careful with your words, can't you be careful of others feelings? Haha, that sounded a bit feminine. Anyway, i think i can go on but the happy side of me is enjoying being called popular.
and by the way, did you create this account just to post this comment? account created 10 hours ago, comment posted 10 hours ago, 3 videos wached total. sorry if i'm making a false assumption but that seems a little suspicious to me. if you have something to say to jon and kevin, say it to their faces, don't hide behind fake youtube accounts, jimmywhale or jonnya or whoever you are.
I agree with daglivewire but, i don't see why you can sound so bitter about us trying to spread laughter. Is laughter exclusive to only the people who know the greatness of Flight of the Conchords? If so, there is no hope in the world if there is no room for happiness.
Don't listen to these guys, this is one of the better covers on youtube! You can sing great!

hope that made you feel better about yourself. I'll rate each sentence on a scale of 1-10. 10 being the most hurtful.
"terrible" 1 Only because it has no subject
"you couldn't " 0 for me and 7 for the audience
"the guy on the left": 8 because he's a friend but he'd rate it a 3. I'd rate the run-on portion of the sentence a 5. Should have, too late now
"and everyone": 2 because the generality hurt the argument
"you just": 2 generalities again my friend
'you aren't": 6 poignant phrase.
