The folk songs of New Zeland

Well my loyal followers, if i have any, it's time for another blog entry by yours truly. And like all my previous blogs, i have been pouring time, sweat and blood into finding the best things to blog about. You do not know how many hours i have spent on Youtube just trying to find the best of the best for you, the reader. (2) And today I bring you the amazing New Zeland band, who call themselves the Flight of the Conchords.

And here is info, stolen for wikipedia because i am too lazy to type today:
"Flight of the Conchords is a Grammy Award-winning New Zealand comedy duo composed of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. Billing themselves as "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo accapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo",[1] the group uses a combination of witty observation, characterisation and acoustic folk guitars. The duo's comedy and music became the basis of a BBC radio series and then an American television series, which premiered in 2007, also called Flight of the Conchords."

Anyways, their songs are actually pretty funny, and well worth a listening to. Just not if you're the one that hates those slight sexual comments. And i mean slight, much less than you would think. I've put my favorite 3 down at the bottom of this post, and you should seriously check them all out. And i mean watch them all the way, some parts may be a bit dull but most of it is pretty awesome. Oh and makes sure to check their show out since its supposed to be really funny.

First one is from HBO's One Night Stand, the second one is from some stand up and the last one is from the show Flight of the Conchords itself. All their songs are actually included into their show so all of these songs come out within the show







edit: added another one of my favorites, this time they sang on Letterman Show, and this song is also featured in their first episode of their TV series
