Flight of the Conchords - Songs and Parodies - Season 2

[Dicko6]

surely rambling through the avenues of time is billy joel?

[melwabythegarden]

I think "Sugalumps" is a reference to "Milkshake" by Kelis.

paul simon looks like will ferell lol

[mskipples]

This vid is brilliant! Really well edited and I've discovered new songs from it!

Have to say that i thought that Sugerlumps was an obvious riff on My Humps but it does sound a lot more like Beep. They probably meant to riff on both.

Rambling Through the Avenues of Time IS Piano Man.

[beigemaster86]

Great vid. I agree with you that many of these are fusions of different songs from the same genre. I would argue that "Sugar Lumps" seems to be more obvious to "My Humps" and "Rambling Through the Avenues of Time" I would say sounds a lot more like "Piano Man". Good work though.

[adhoodo]

ya... i agree, it's more like the piano man

[reccaphoenix]

The fashion song is probably also a parody of "Fashion" by David Bowie

[Hodge329]

Some of those are not right...

[MatBitesDog]

A lot of these songs are fusions of many others. I just went with a 1 for 1 pairing and tried to stick with the one that was either closest to the video or the song itself.

great job,mbd! thanks for putting these all together. i enjoyed seeing all of it. i had figured out many, but not all. 5 stars

I lived In China for three years, I would hear that Lui Jai-Chang song booming out of shops all the time. Used to get right on my tits! haha.

[raisinbottom]

i love the parodies they did of roxanne, fade to grey, beep, and total eclipse of the heart. they're great. i love them :]

[slightshiver]

Hah, the Pussycat Dolls one is so obvious now it's been pointed out to me. I got the R Kelly one the first time I saw it, though I think the original is hilarious in it's own right.

Thank you for this, it's great.

[MatBitesDog]

Yeah, I almost think the original 'same girl' is even funnier!

[LoneRiver1]

I feel like sugarlumps is more of a parody of Kelis - Milkshake

[ceebeecee56]

Thanks for sharing the references. I agree that knowing the genre of music, song style, or camera references for the music videos makes it all the funnier. The multi-layers of music and comedy is what makes what they do all the better for it because while the comedy is good, so is their music.

[regalgrubgrub]

Some of the songs are very obvious parodies, like the Westside Story one, but some I had no idea about - like the Usher and R Kelly one. Very informative!

[KwathiMbutu]

Well done! It's sometimes hard to place all the pop culture references the conchords pull from.

[MatBitesDog]

That was my thought, especially since getting them makes the Conchords much, much funnier.
