"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"No I'm thinking what I'm thinking"
"So you're not thinking what I'm thinking?"
"No, 'cause you're thinking I'm thinking what you're thinking!"
(Flight of the Conchords - Same Girl)
I hate "comedy" songs with a passion. Whenever I go to a comedy club and someone comes on stage with a guitar, I go to the bar.
There are however three exceptions to this rule. The Lonely Island, Tenacious D and, of course, the Flight of the Conchords.
Why? Because whilst all the crappy stand-ups start with some jokes and then come up with a tune, with these guys the music comes first. The songs are actually good - catchy, well produced and often parodying (but not simply changing the lyrics of) classic tyoons. It helps that the lyrics are then also genius.
