Top 10 Flight of the Conchords Clips




The Guardian.co.uk compiled a list of the top 10 clips from Flight of the Conchords.. hahha they're hilarious!! hit the jump for the clips.



1. Hihopopotamus vs Rhymenoceros
Bret and Jemaine take on a pair of muggers with some unforgettable lyrics – and some great dance moves. Their rhymes prove they are more than Kanye West's equal in the rap arena: "I'm the mother flippin' Rhymenocerous/My beats are fly and the birds are on my back/And I'm horny"


2. Ladies of the World.
The boys do their bit for international relations by running through a list of nationalities they'd date - love the way they rhyme "Dominican" with "amphibian". "All the ladies in the world/I wanna get next to you/Show you some gratitude/By makin' love to you it's the least we can do"


3. Business Time
A (slightly creepy) picture of sex in a long-term relationship: "Tuesday night's the night that we go and visit your mother, but Wednesday night is the night that we make love. 'Cause everything is just right conditions are perfect. There's nothing good on TV. Conditions are perfect."


4. Inner City Pressure
Bret and Jemaine send up Pet Shop Boys' West End Girls in admirably moody style. "So you think maybe you'll be a prostitute/Just to pay for your lessons, you're learning the flute/The ladies won't pay you very much for this/Looks like you'll never be a concert flautist"


5. Bret, You've Got It Going On
Jemaine tries to cheer up Bret by offering him some man love: "I said Bret you got it going on!/Not in a gay way, just in a 'Hey mate I wanted to say that your looking OK mate!'"


6. Motha'uckas
The musical pimps go all gangsta rap as they get their own back on a racist grocery shop owner: "The mutha ucka runs a racist uckin' grocery/The mutha ucka won't sell an apple to a Kiwi/The shi- fight's gonna get vicious and malicious/Cut the cra-/I need my Red Delicious"


7. If You're Into It
What sounds at first like a sweet folky love song by Bret soon heads into sleazier territory: "And then maybe later/We get hot by the refrigerator/In the kitchen next to the pantry/You think that might be what you fancy?"


8. The Most Beautiful Girl (In The Room)
Jemaine does his best Prince impression as he homes to seal the deal with Sally (Rachel Blanchard, familiar as Nancy from Peep Show): "Cause you're so beautiful.../Like a tree. Or a high class prostitute/You're so beautiful/You could be a part time model"


9. Bowie
Bit of an obvious take-off of David Bowie, but with a few standout puns: "Hey Bowie, do you have one really funky sequined space suit?/Or do you have several ch-changes?"


10. Frodo, Don't Wear The Ring
This Lord of the Rings spoof is perhaps more memorable for the video than the song; Mel makes a great Galadriel. But hey, it's a great video. "Hey Frodo, what you doing wearing the ring?/All powerful jewellery, is that your new thing?/I know it's hard when you're little more than three foot four/Your little ass so close to the floor/Trying to lead your fellows to the gates of Mordor"
