Bret:
I’m the mother flippin’ Rhymenocerous
My beats are fly and the birds are on my back
And I’m horny
Both:
I’m horny
Bret:

If you choose to proceed you will indeed concede
Cos I hit you with my flow
The Wild Rhino Stampede.
I’m not just wild, I’m trained,
Domesticated
I was raised by a rapper and rhino that dated
And subsequently procreated
That’s how it goes
Here’s the Hiphopopotamus
The hip hop hippo
Jemaine:
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
My lyrics are bottomless
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorous
Poppin’ off the top of this esophagus
Rockin’ this metropolis
I’m not a large water-dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
Steve.
Bret:

My rhymes and …read more

Once again, if you’d like to hear HBO’s synopsis (where I got this sweet pic of the camera-phone), click here. For my extremely detailed, never-watered-down synopsis, read on below…
If you ever wanted to find out the reason why so many New Zealanders are mugged in New York City,  this episode will provide you with the answer. In “Mugged,” Bret and Jemaine are instructed by Murray on how to navigate through New York. Some of his advice includes avoiding heavy traffic by going down back alleys, wearing bright orange reflective vest-belt-things, carrying a New York map everywhere, not to mention open, …read more

Bret:
Oh my God. She’s so hot.
She’s so flippin’ hot. She’s like a curry.
I want to tell her how hot she is, but she’ll think I’m being sexist.
She’s so hot she’s making me sexist.
Bitch.
I think I need a 1983 Cascio DG-20 electric guitar set to electric mandolin, some drums.
Yeah. Hear me now!
I see you with a sign I want to boom like it’s never been done
Bust moves like the click boom of a gun
My beats stay locked and my eyes are zooming
My feet starts tweaking and my body’s booming
The first day of boom and the flowers are blooming
Booty boom bass and …read more

Just like last week, here’s the link to the HBO synopsis of the episode. You can find my own, much more lengthy synopsis, below!
So, all we need to get to is the second episode before we realize that Bret and Jemaine are having money troubles. Bret comes home with some groceries, and Jemaine starts to eat a sandwich before being told that Bret just found them on the street. This causes a lot of torment, and starts the song “Inner City Pressure,” which has great synth effects, if you were curious.
The duo go to Murray’s office to have a band …read more

So, I got this video in an email Mike sent me, and it was seriously great. It’s very very recent, so that’s the most exciting thing probably. The duo actually played at Comcast’s presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show. It was from January 7-10 of this year in Las Vegas. Proof that it is actually very recent? Jemaine makes the crack that something is as obsolete as a 2007 calendar. For a place with 1.7 million net sq. feet of space to use for the show, it’s really nice that they set aside some space for Flight of the Conchords.
Some …read more

Yay! I got my first fan submission! This, no doubt, fills me with much glee!
I got this email a couple days back from someone named Dfactor that said they had a post up about Flight of the Conchords, so I couldn’t resist putting it up.
It is a five-part documentary about the duo’s trip to Austin. Make sure you click here to see it! Now!
I tried putting up a screenshot but my lame old 56k wasn’t having it. Lame. Whatever, go see it for yourself!

Whew, sorry, lost my head for a moment. Anyhow, this fabulous poster features both Bret and Jemaine, black outlines silhouetted in blue, a guitar, and what appears to be robot arms. Is there any way you can go wrong? …read more

Yay, it’s time for my first “Song of the Day” installment. Now, today, we’ll be talking about the song “The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room,” also known as “Part-Time Model”. First, here are the lyrics to the song…and who sings what part…
Jemaine: Looking ‘round the room, I can tell that you,
Are the most beautiful girl, in the room.
Bret: In the whole wide room
Jemaine: And when you’re on the street, depending on the street,
I bet that you are definitely, in the top three,
Good looking girls on the street
Bret: Depending on the street
Jemaine: And when I saw you …read more

I know I talked a little about Episode 1 before in the podcast post, but I didn’t put up anything like a plot synopsis, so her ya go… (To read HBO’s synopsis, click here)
So, this is obviously the pilot of Flight of the Conchords. Bret and Jemaine have just recently moved to New York, to Queens specifically, and they’re talking about girls Jemaine has dated in New Zealand. They go to a party at Dave’s, a guy who runs a pawn shop in town, and Jemaine sees a girl from across the room who he is attracted to instantly. This …read more

Welcome to my first installment of “Merch Item of the Day” on Conchord Crazy. This piece of merch comes to you from their HBO website, so it’s super awesome official and all that good schtuff. The idea for this shirt actually came from the fourth episode, “Yoko,” where Bret has a girlfriend named Coco. She comes  up with an idea for a FOTC poster that is decidedly hip, but Jemaine doesn’t go for it. He insists that he already made a poster for the group, so they don’t need another one. The design he came up is featured on this shirt, …read more
