Sometimes I really wish they'd just do away with the songs, but this was an awesome episode and between this cute song and "too many dicks on the dancefloor" this is probably the best song episode that they made, outside of the episodes in the first season where they used their best comedy material. Love the conchords.
i only see the girl behind jermain (in blue with ginger hair) making an effort, the others seem to not care less.. not about him, just making an effort
This episode was directed by Michel Gondry who uses these sort of effects machines for stuff like The Chemical Brothers videos and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which he also directed - very low fi.
Anetchi: Those aren't actually instruments. They're actually video editors--the joke is that Bret and Jemaine are using them to manipulate the screen behind them, mess with the colors, etc. etc.
these guys are hysterical...the episode about the date with the Aussie was too much. Too many dicks on the dance floor no words to describe how funny and the dancing while playing those instruments is cool and way out there.
These guys are brilliant, but if you think they're better live then you ARE the character Mel. Their songs are much better mixed for the shows, regardless of which came first, the song or the show. I can hardly get through a whole song when they're sitting on stools on a stage.
Personally, I think some songs are better live, and some are better on the show. Example: I LOVE the show's version of "if You're Into It", but I much prefer the HBO live version of the "Hiphopopotamus vs. the Rhymenoceros"..I didn't care much for the version on the show.
Season 1 songs were written way before the show even got produced. They wrote the stories around the songs. Season 2 was harder for them because they wrote the songs around the stories. They basically went through they're back catalog of songs in season 1, giving them a challenge to be more creative this season. With that said, they missed a crazy opportunity to use Bus Driver's Song in "New Zealand Town" :(
This is easily my favorite episode of the new season, both songs were awesome, and it wasn't focuses on other characters like some of the past episodes. Like mel, she gets on my nerves.
