A song that makes me laugh
Carol Brown by Flight of the Conchords. From the album I Told you I was Freaky.
This song is from my favourite ever episode of Flight of the Conchords. If you have never seen it, go watch it – now. For serious, you are not allowed to keep reading until you have watched at least 1 episode. Oi you, look away, avert your eyes. Muppet. Oh well, I guess there’s no harm in you continuing to read.
To the rest of you, my apologies. For those of you who still haven’t gone and watched an episode – Flight of the Conchords is a duo who create some of the funniest parody music ever. They really have a gift for catching the irony and humour in a certain genre of music as well as doing some awesome satire. These guys keep me laughing even today, even after watching each episode 5 times and singing the songs over and over.
The best thing about the Flight of the Conchords is that they are not afraid to take the piss out of themselves. They often refer to the funny New Zealander stereotypes and even play off the Aus v NZ attitudes that are around, perfectly capturing the good humour both our countries share.
This song is amazing – not only for the fact that it is hilarious, but also for the fact that the video was directed by Michel Gonry. He has directed so many awesome things including the movies: The Science of Sleep, The Green Hornet and Be Kind Rewind; and music videos such as this and Everlong
Anyway, tonight has been the easiest post to write for the last week, I’m way happy to have written it in under 30 mins (yes, it generally takes me at least and hour to choose and reflect on any given song).
By the way, I’d love to do a census of who is actually reading these blogs, it would be great if you could leave a name and/or a constructive comment on what you like and dislike and even what I should blog on after the 30 day song challenge is over.
Thanks Crew!

Does it count if I just read them all at once? I’m going to desperate measures to avoid study. Totally catching up on every blog in my newsfeed. :S At least your’s is interesting, unlike some of the others… Maybe I should do my equity prep to avoid reading those ones.
How do you have an hour to spend on this everyday? Although, I guess I spend half an hour to an hour on my blip each day….

I read them, I must really like you because by the time you started doing the 30 day song challenge I was ready to dis-friend the next person who did it. But then all the other participants are dweebs and I didn’t care much for them anyway.
All in all, I’ve liked reading it.
The end.
