Flight of the Conchords

Ok, maybe everyone's heard of these guys but me, but they are pretty funny, and the songs aren't half bad! Thought I'd share.

However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

If one of the guys looks familiar outside of FOTC, it's because he did several TV commercial for Outback Steakhouse here in the US.

I love their television show! It's adorable and the parodies are hilarious.

My SO and I ask one another sometimes, "Are those your business socks?"

I love Jemaine and Bret. I could listen to their lovely Kiwi accents all day long.

Another favorite FOTC moment:

Had a chance to see them live a short while back. They put on a spectacular live show. Covered all the favorites, plus a couple new ones they were working on. The banter between songs is worth it by itself.
