Flight of the Conchords - RIP "Little Red"

This is a tribute/memorial to Little Red, the dauntless toy piano that has been with the Conchords for years. She died tragically on April 15, 2009 in New York City. Conchords fans around the world mourn her loss. Little Red will be missed.

My lovely commentary, because my microphone is terrible:

"Flight of the Conchords, New Zealand's 4th most popular folk parody duo, have always been known to utilize any instrument they could get their hands on. These instruments include Carribean steel drums, a glockenspiel, or the kazoo. But none were more beloved than a toy piano that fans dubbed as "Little Red." Little Red made her first appearance in episode 4 of the HBO show, as a part of the song "If You're Into It." She was never far from the loving embrace of Bret or Jemaine.

But on April 15th, 2009 at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, tragedy struck. What you are about to see is actual footage taken from that performance. During a routine rendition of Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor, Bret bumped Little Red off of her stool, and she fell to her death. The two Conchords handled the situation comedically, but around the world, fans were heartbroken.

Fans began to wonder, why was Little Red there at all during that song, when Bret wasn't even playing it? Rumors of a murder conspiracy spread across the internet like wildfire.

Either way, we now have Little White, the replacement toy piano Bret and Jemaine brought along for the tour. Will he ever be able to fill the void in our hearts left by Little Red? Only time will tell. For now, we remember Little Red. May she rest in peace."

Thanks for taking the trouble to make this, well informed little documentary. Appreciate it. I wonder if they could repair little red?

[ravensaccount3]

Nope, I'm afraid that would be quite difficult, considering Bret threw a bunch of the broken keys into the audience. BUT, they have a new Little Red now that a fan gave them. Exactly the same in every way... except that Little Red 2.0 will never possess the wisdom and experience of the original...

I can't get over how good this is.

I laughing and crying at once, it's a roller-coaster of emotion! :D

Rest in peace Little Red. You lived a long and enviable life.
