Yeah, I understand Bret and Jermaine were burned out after acting in, writing and doing the music for two seasons of TV and didn't want it to get stale, but I'd love a revival season or a movie!
this is cool to read bc my favorite memory i think about every time i hear this song is my roommate & i literally crying w laughter in the garage at like 1 in the morning when that same part came up
I remember my ex asking me If I had watched this show, and we proceeded to watch this episode on her tiny tv in her dingy downtown apartment. She was a great gal, miss her..

@Tom3ch405 Me too! I literally just watched this again for the first time in years, and realised that I had been singing the lyrics incorrectly all this time!
@@AjayJetty what's wrong with gynocentricity. Seriously, it's pretty weird to call somebody an idiot in reply to exaggeration joke about unusual compliments.
Including the way his songs almost always undercut the confidence of the love interest. Ironically one of the only exceptions is his "Most Beautiful Girl in the World"... I love me some Prince, but there's some undeniable yucky toxicity in the mix. Musical genius and impeccable performer and national treasure, but I imagine he was a crazy making nightmare to date in real life.
My guy totally nailed it when he sent me a message saying "You're so beautiful" and then followed it up immediately with "You could be a part-time model..." Became my boyfriend a few days later.
Zoe G. Lewis haha, awww.... good thing he used the model line.... Wut if he woulda said ur so beautiful, likea tree, or a high class prostitute.... screw days, then it’d hafta be at least a coupla weeks 😆 ❤️❤️
@@bobdavis4848 yes they definitely were being very checky my friend, just my sad sense of humor he would win me over just by his dance moves specially if he was wearing his business socks
@@rebeccacollier6858 Thanks for your kind reply. Well, as I am a feminist in general, I add that I hope you will not cut yourself down as being sad simply due to the sense of humor you happen to have. :-) There is nothing wrong with liking whatever type of dance moves or socks. Have a nice day.
Jemaine saying "you could be a waitress" as he does that little shoo motion to the guy passing by. That's my favorite 2 seconds in the history of media.
So many subtle funny lines from this show, like "so...on or off with the light then?" and then a bit later "what happened there did I do something wrong?" - "I dunno, couldn't really see."
This, and all other FOTC songs, and the show itself, will always be hilarious and remains a classic to this day, showing my gf them for the first time, so amazing, i hadnt seen these in awhile, i forgot how great they are, i mean they've always had my heart but it's their unique style, needs to be revisited now and then cause there's nothing like them lol
I'll never forget when my gf at the time in 2007 said "You need to watch this, it's right up your alley." She was right. This song had me hooked right away.
"I paid for half the taxi, should I have paid for the whole taxi? Bret, Bret...Bret" "Did you walk on the outside of her?" "Hmm" "Then...Sigh Then I don't know then. Im going to sleep" guys...everytime LOL
That's Rachel Blanchard. Voted in at #37 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Girls of 2002 poll, UK edition. High probability to be the most beautiful girl in ANY room!
I had heard of the Conchords and all the accolades. The recommendations are worth it. I just need the means to get the series. I won’t be poor forever.
Damn, I just ran across these guys, a day late and a dollar short as usual. Though both are amazing, Jemaine is simply a chameleon. I hear Prince and Mick Jagger combined here. What a talent.
I know why everyone is quoting the hilarious lyrics but the strings that come in- ( 1:58 ) when he sings "I do the dance moves" were absolutely beautiful

It's the most efficient way to dim the lights down to very low. He's not wasting time here.

This song proves that any compliment can be 100% sincere as long as it’s qualified with a proper disclaimer.
And how she’s really into his compliments even with all the qualifiers
Top three on the street. Depending...
“You’re so beautiful, like a tree.. or a high class prostitute.”
Romance isn’t dead!
Especially how he says "tree".
@@theothertonydutchLike a treeee…
i got my wife a valentine card with this quote on the front one year
@@flacidbishop thats so awsome!
The "part-time" model line got me, though 🤣
The fact that this show didn't have more seasons or their full length film is criminal. Such a great comedic series with minimal characters.
Yeah, I understand Bret and Jermaine were burned out after acting in, writing and doing the music for two seasons of TV and didn't want it to get stale, but I'd love a revival season or a movie!
@@Boomie_365 i'd love that so much.
It would not work now. Their robust naivety was crucial.
Better to burn out than to fade away
Gives me GMM vibes
‘You could be a part-time-model…but you’ll probably still have to keep your normal job- part time model!’ Fav line of their songs lol
That was hilarious!!
I love that part 😂😂😂😂
This whole time I thought he was saying porn-type model.
@@killermacmc I thought he was saying porn-time model. I choose to believe those are the true lyrics..
Basically an onlyfans model, the boys were just ahead of their time
"Depending on the street"

I still have fond memories of showing my friends this episode, and the explosion of laughter one friend had when he heard "like a..tree."

You gotta wonder how differently things might have turned out if Jermaine had paid for the whole taxi.
It wouldn't matter. If walking on the outside of her couldn't seal the deal, nothing could.
djduka333 I don't think there is any other response that could have been written that would be better than this response.
Khaldun1 Although paying for the whole taxi might only have cost an extra $3 and could have clinched the deal. You would be left wondering for the rest of your life ...
dankoch2010 Or if his friend wasnt there turning the light on in the middle of a makeout session.
pokertodeath yeah... but i think it was mostly that Bret and her used to go out.
You're so beautiful like a tree
Stoneman180190 or a nice ceramics or something
Ahhh, but wut kind of a tree?....
That could actually change everything....
Like, ur so beautiful, like a tree, ya.... a Charlie Browns Christmas Tree

You would probably like NSP as well. Those guys are great too.

Non-ironically, this song sounds like a compilation of all the compliments I have heard in my life
yea you must be an idiot
@@AjayJetty no I'm just beautiful like a tree

Are you still boxing Andy Lee?
Andy Lee I scrolled through this at the perfect time
It's such a prince homage in so many ways. Love this song
You're right. I didn't notice it until I read your comment.
omg
Including the way his songs almost always undercut the confidence of the love interest.
Ironically one of the only exceptions is his "Most Beautiful Girl in the World"...
I love me some Prince, but there's some undeniable yucky toxicity in the mix.

Prince with a bit of ‘Debra’ by Beck - also a massive Prince homage !
@@Alex-mj5dv came here to also mention Debra by Beck! The "you could be a waitress" is an unmistakable reference

Did he walk on the outside of you?

And when you're walking down the aisle, depending on the aisle , youre definitely, in the top 3.. (Depending on the aisle)

subtle flex, go off
🤣👏👏
Omg your wife must have been DESPERATE to ger married. TACKY. There is a time and a place "bro"
I think every girl in the room deserves to be sung to like this just once in her life.

"oooo you're a legend Dave "
I love this so much still to this day!!!
Ooh it’s 2020 now still love it?
boomer moment
So true
2024 still worth it!
Realistic beauty standards and a man who knows what league he’s in you gotta respect it.
Jemaine saying "you could be a waitress" as he does that little shoo motion to the guy passing by. That's my favorite 2 seconds in the history of media.
the fact that he does like 1/3 of the song with a full mouth never gets old
"You're so beautiful."
"Like a .. *TREE* "
Fuckin' still gets me.
I love the Flight of the Conchords. Their brutal honesty is fantastic.
still do?
"You're something beautiful... you could be an air hostess... in the 60's"... hahahaha... frickin genius!
I had to show my boyfriend who played the “shiny” song guy from Moana. Now I need to buy the boxset and re-binge this glorious series.
Theres an interview where he has to explain why moana fans hate him.
Its great
th-cam.com/video/tmYq4k_mZvU/w-d-xo.html
All the streaming channels and no company has paid to restart this series is a shame!
Are you kidding?! I literally just did the same thing while watching moana!! 🤣🤣 flight of the concords is legend haha
The Shiny song is absolutely brilliant. The harmonies exquisite
‘But you’ll probably still have to keep your normal job’ gets me crackin up anytime
Hey look! It's Nancy! She still married to Jez?
I think Jez divorced her after she was snogging Super Hans at Mark's wedding.

It’s pronounced Javier Bardem
I knew I fell for my boyfriend when he started playing this on the guitar and singing it. This song just does that

kalichronic lame af. I would've broke up with him
Marzz Glxy you're the Lame one sister.
I know exactly what you mean
I would have too
What an honest romantic. It's actually quite charming.
So many subtle funny lines from this show, like "so...on or off with the light then?" and then a bit later "what happened there did I do something wrong?" - "I dunno, couldn't really see."
It's 1202, just me and you ... and 7 other dudes around you on the dance floor
"My place is usually tidier than this!"
if a dude sent me this i would instantly be in love.
Whoever reads this, you are awesome. Go out and smash life.
You're so beautiful; "like a tree"
*Tolkien has entered the chat*
"When you're on the street - depending on the street - you are in the top three." GREAT LINE!
"He says he doesn't mind, but I can tell he kinda minds, but I'm gonna do it anyway!!!"
I love how Jermaine keeps qualifying how beautiful she is.
2:10 "7 other dudes around you on the dance floor" only 6 dudes in video the viewer is the 7th.
Camera man? :D
I think it's "Can't stand other dudes aroud you..."

No it's not
ＴＨＥＧＲＩＭＡＣＥ I think Eugene Mirman's in there, too.
Jemaine has such a beautiful voice. I laughed at this so much, but was so impressed with J's voice. Still am :)
Well, he is a professional singer after all.
"Sooo, on or off with the light then?"
If you've ever lived in a share house, then you know this pain...
This is my test song for a girl. If I sing this for her and she doesn't laugh then I'm clearly wasting my time.
or you can come up with your own song...

i tip my fedora in your honor kind gentlesir.
Cameron Fischer it's "case in point" you virgin zilch.

This will never get old.
I'm so serenading some chick with this song
I would fall for that!
It's a high risk move, it worked for me though.
But you have to keep your real job
Do itttt
I've done it :D i rewrote it so it applies to her and I. She already knew and liked the song so it was good fun :D
I'll never forget when my gf at the time in 2007 said "You need to watch this, it's right up your alley."
She was right. This song had me hooked right away.
She probably showed you this since you were the most beautiful guy in the room 😌
I envy people hearing it for the first time ❤️
That first time i heard hip hop hippopotamus 👌
my lyrics are bottomless..
Can we just applaud the guy dancing while cradling his beer! The details though!
"I paid for half the taxi, should I have paid for the whole taxi? Bret, Bret...Bret"
"Did you walk on the outside of her?"
"Hmm"
"Then...Sigh Then I don't know then. Im going to sleep"

Too bad they took out my favorite line.
“I do my moves I do my dance moves...
Both of my dance moves...”
Man the key change around 2:00 is pure destruction in a good way!!! Wow!!!
One of the greatest shows ever!
The music when he starts dancing is BEAUTIFUL
This show was pure gold.
You're a legend, Dave
“Did you walk on the outside of her?” I haven’t heard of that concept for decades!! Soooo sweet 😍

I had this as my first dance on Saturday...folks were very confused.
“You’re a LEGEND Dave!”
" You're so beautiful, like a tree ". Lyrics don't get any better than that.
miss this show
Thank you. It's a song that I have to come back to all these years later and it still as great as ever.
"You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably have to keep your normal job" Jemaine really knows how to talk to women.
..or a high class prostitute. Now that's a compliment. You have to be really good looking to be one of those.
"part of your time modelling and part of your time with me... and the rest of the time doing your normal job"
Jez has some serious competition. This guy has more moves than Super Hans.
But Jez really Jezzed it with Nancy. And don't forget you've always got to have a USP as Super Hans says.
"That's just Bret, turn the light off Bret!"
Awwww man. This brings back so many memories. Lol
“Depending on the street.” FOTC, you guys are brilliant. 😂✌️😎
