I do not normally post links and videos and stuff, because, well, it is a bit lazy, isn’t it?
However, on this occasion I feel I must share with all three of you what is, quite simply, the greatest love song ever written.
It is as close to musical genius as I believe modern artists can get, and I have already spent an hour learning it by heart on the guitar. I am almost envious of the young strumpet that will get to hear it at about 3am one night this weekend (The promise of a serenade is always a winner, and I will make the assumption that she will not be too drunk to hear, well, anything at all).
I give you the Flight of the Conchords. Enjoy.

Brilliant. One small snag. Don’t you live alone?
Who’s going to play the glockenspiel?
Twenty Major · October 18, 2007 at 9:23 am
They are funny bastards.
Anna · October 18, 2007 at 9:34 am
Oh brilliant, oh just bloody brilliant, I now have that tune IN MY HEAD!

“I don’t know if Stuart’s keen to
But if you want we could double-team you.”
It’s “Beat me on the bottom with a Woman’s Weekly” for the 21st century.
Duck – I hereby volunteer my glockenspiel skills. And well done for not calling it a xylophone – THEY ARE MADE OF WOOD, PEOPLE!!! (From the Greek xylo and phone meaning wooden sound.)

i think it’s my favourite song, sod Billy Joel, he’s got the number 2 spot now.

Nice Greek, Salvadore
Glockenspiel –
From the German Glocken (Bells) and Spiel (Play)
Sounds perfect for what you and Angry have planned.

BTW #6
Is it ‘Paul Collingwood gets caught in lapdancing club on eve of Twenty20 match?’

Creepy and funny in equal measure.
Do you think that Fat Jim can be trained into being the support “artist”?

Brilliant but really expected a final verse about doing her up the Gary Glitter. Consequently it’s just lacking the final spark of genius (can we contact them to suggest a new version, bit like New Order redoing Blue Monday).
Without that final moment, as Roy Walker would have said on Catchphrase, “It’s good but it’s not that good”
PS – can’t get enough of Kenny Rogers’ the Gambler via You Tube. Love the thought of the England rugby team singing this at the end of their team meetings.

Duck – This is why God invented backing tracks.
Twenty – I know, funny Kiwis, who would’ve thought…
Anna – I have been signing it at an exhibition in London today!
Eliza – hehe, you said number two…
Salvadore – Thank you for the greek lesson. Does this mean I can officially define any Keanu Reeves monologue as a Xylophone?
Duck – This will be a one-man operation, like most of my most intimate moments (and the spam is now gone!)
Jorge – Never, ever, ever!
The One Who Talks A Lot – Thanks for the brief comment and for not conforming to stereotype.

Excellent – there is so much good stuff about at the moment, but this definately a number one!

So that accounts for what one of The Proclaimers is doing now….
robin · October 18, 2007 at 8:57 pm
That was awesome. Two dudes and food – groundbreaking/
And the Keanu gag was even better.
Four Dinners · October 18, 2007 at 9:33 pm
Bobby Ewing and Mike Myers? Fuckin’ hell is nowt sacred???
