Catch it if you can: Flight of the Conchords’ ‘Too Many D**** on the Dance Floor’
February 16, 2009 at 1:30 pm by Curt Holman in A&EThe sophomore season of “Flight of the Conchords,” HBO’s comedy series about “New Zealand’s fourth most popular folk-parody duo,” has been a little spotty but made an uproariously funny return to form last night. Directed by Michel Gondry, the episode riffed hilariously on the rivalry between New Zealand and Australia (does one even exist?), but the highlight was the introductory musical number at a dance club. It’s the like one of those unbelievably raunchy but undeniably catchy tracks laid down by Andy Samberg’s The Lonely Island, like “D*** in a Box” or “J*** in My Pants.” (I think they’re funnier with asterisks than spelled out.) The clip even features a cameo from one of the Village People — but watch it while you can, because it’s the kind of video that will probably get taken down and put back up elsewhere until an “official” viral version gets released.
Incidentally, Jemaine Clement and Bret Mckenzie will be bringing their Conchords musical-comedy act to Atlanta’s Fox Theatre on April 11.

Yeah there is a long standing rivalry between NZ and Australia but it is a friendly one, alot like USA and Canada.
