Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo...

... who have unfortunately recently been bumped down by "Like of the Conchords", a tribute band to them that has taken 4th spot on the charts.

They are Flight of the Conchords and more than likely you've at least heard of the name by now. Their hilarious comedic folk music (think Corky and the Juicepigs, Tenacious D, Stephen Lynch) has landed them a hit tv series on HBO. While the show is quite funny, and follows the duo's attempt to make it as a comedy music duo in New York City, the songs they play every episode are the real gems, and I can honestly say I'm addicted to a good number of them.

So here's a sample of some of my favourites:

If You're Into It




The Hiphopopotomous vs. The Rhymenoceros ft. The Hiphopopotomous & The Rhymenoceros




Frodo, Don't Wear the Ring




The Humans Are Dead


Look up more, and watch the show, Jemaine and Bret are hilarious!
