Flight of the Conchords is a New Zealand-based comedy band composed of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. Their unique blend of comedy and music has garnered them international acclaim. They gained popularity through their BBC radio series and later, an American television series on HBO. With their witty lyrics and catchy tunes, Flight of the Conchords has become a household name in the world of comedy music.

The duo humorously referred to themselves as "New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo." Despite this self-deprecating title, they have managed to capture the hearts of fans worldwide with their hilarious performances. Today, they proudly hold the title of being "the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand."

there is so much that could be said regarding flight of the conchords. how they hail from new zealand, the island nation with multiple postal services. or that, after winning a best comedy album grammy for the distant future in 2007, they were nominated for a second best comedy album grammy in 2008, but were actually relieved not to win again - because meaningless trophies really do seem important when you only have one, and have to fight over who gets to keep it. and that during the recently-completed second season of their popular hbo television series, fans could download new songs immediately after they debuted on-air. or that this same popular hbo television series (conveniently also called flight of the conchords) was recently nominated for what-sure-seems-like-a-record-breaking 6 emmys. but all that is mere background, fact-based information that, while, granted, is largely true, impressive, and odd, doesn't really allow us to serve up the steaming plate of rich, delicious and hopefully irresistibly persuasive description for which we (or our hired writers) are somewhat known in certain circles. and so: while flight of the conchords hammered out their reputation from behind the relative safety of acoustic guitars, blithely billed as a 'folk comedy' act, nowadays their musical style runs rampant, unchecked. judging from the range displayed here on 'i told you i was freaky', flight of the conchords have yet to unearth a genre which can withstand their artistry. unflinching in their lyrical stance, sophisticated with their arrangements, crafting melodies which always lodge firmly in the frontal lobe: flight of the conchords have created 13 best-selling ringtones, humbly masquerading as songs. their rhymes are fearless, their thesauruses dog-eared. only cool, confident specimens of manhood such as these could drop three-dollar vocabulary busters like 'dungarees' and 'pantaloons' while still mesmerizing the ladies with their undulating 'sugalumps.' vivid imagery? check: the ardent 'angels' should spur listeners to think twice the next time they consider catching a snowflake on their tongues. better still, the amorous odyssey of the album's zenith, 'we're both in love with a sexy lady,' unfolds before the listener's very ears in real time; flight of the conchords are making history, and you! are! there! 'i told you i was freaky' is, among a great many other things, a genre-tripping tour de force and includes three songs from the second series of the show which are otherwise as yet unreleased ('rambling through the avenues of time,' 'too many dicks (on the dance floor)' and 'you don't have to be a prostitute').
