    Default Guitar-Oriented Humo(u)r: Flight of the Conchords

    I don't know if you've heard of these guys or not, but they're a comedy duo from New Zealand who play guitar.

    My favorite bit from them is "Business Time"


    Then there's also "Albi (The Racist Dragon)"


    And last but not least "Jenny"


    If you'll excuse me, I am wearing business socks right now . . .

    These guys can be pretty funny at times. Thanks for posting. They are always good for a ponderous pick-me-up.

    Yeah, they're pretty funny. Check out the Bowie song, or whatever it's called...I think that is hilarious.

    Yep, that's it.

    I think that it's hilarious how they nail the several different Bowie vocal styles all in the context of a couple early type Bowie song ideas. :

    And while we're here, I do digs me some Bowie...does that make me ghey?

    These guys are only New Zealand's 4th most popular electro-folk parody act. They celebrated their Grammy award (best comedy single) by playing a one-off gig at a video rental store in Aro St in Wellington. Brett lives with his mum (honest!).
