Flight of the Conchords….ARE OFFICIALLY BACK!
Posted by Matt on January 29, 2009
I was a little worried about it at first. The first episode of the new season was kind of lame. Plus, I read somewhere (last year) that the guys ran out of songs and were having a hard time creating new ones for the new season. It was also somewhat ominous to see that “Scrubs” took two characters from the Flight of the Conchords (the woman-player and the racist grocery stand owner), although they were not reoccurring characters. But this past week’s episode, the second of the new season, was great! Jermaine and Brett becoming male prostitutes to buy their guitars back…that they sold in order to pay the bills…all because they were short $2.75…the EXACT amount of money Brett used to buy a second cup for the apartment! That is CLASSIC Conchords! I really had a LOL experience watching the episode. But the best part about the episode were the two new songs, which is the real reason I wrote this post: to share those songs with you. The brilliant part is these songs is that they could actually be top 40 hit songs…where has mainstream music gone?? “Sugarlumps” is like the male version of “My Humps”…and Dave’s rap at the end is hilarious. As for, “You Don’t Have to Be a Prostitute,” is that Brett or UB40?!?!? That song should be blasting through college dorms while kids are getting high as we speak (isn’t that right Ras Trent aka: Andy Samberg?!?) Anyway here are the videos…can’t wait til next episode!
Sugar Lumps
You Don’t Have to Be a Prostitute
