Sorry Weird Al, theres a new music parody force in town. Not only do the create their own tunes (almost) from scratch, but their lyrics also far surpass the juiciness of your own...
Don't believe me? Hit the Youtube videos of bits from Season 1 of their TV series "Flight of the Conchords" (imdb) and you will quickly concede.
Before you get into that though, here are some quick facts about these crazy Kiwi's. They from New Zealand, have been around for 10 years (but are only really taking off very recently since their TV show started in July of 2007 and they just won the Grammy for best comedy album in February 2008 . more info
Without further ado, for your viewing pleasure Flight of the Conchords:
If you're into it
"Then on our next date
Well, you could bring your roommate
I don't know if Stu is keen to
But if you want we could double-team you"...
Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros
"Here's the Hiphopopotamus
The hip hop hippo
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
My lyrics are bottomless
...err...."
Inner City Pressure (rip of west end girls by Petshop Boys)
You've pawned everything, everything you own,
Your toothbrush, jar, and a camera phone
You don't know where you're going
You cross the street
You don't know why you did,
You walk back across the street.
Standing in the sitting room, totally skint
And your favorite jersey is covered in lint
You want to sit down, but you sold your chair
So you just stand there
You just stand there....
And now the grand finale, beware its highly groovitational....
Bowie's In Space
Your signal's weak on my radar screen
How far out are you, man?
I'm pretty far out
That's pretty far out, man
Ooh- ah- ooh!...
Season 2 is scheduled to come out mid-2008 - should be pretty leet!
