Flight Of The Conchords - Frodo, Don't Wear The Ring (live)

Live version from 'Standup!' on ABC

[@bitchykins]

The best version of this song, IMO. The timing of the “We’ll never make it / We made it” bit is impeccable, and the “Yeah, the Fellowship!” line is delivered so perfectly by both of them. ❤️

[@zyeslek]

It sticks with you, doesn't it?

[@huskydliner609]

"There are thousands of them, and only eight of us. We'll never make it." "Oh no!" ... "We made it." "Hurray!"

[@josephsollender8487]

Genius!

[@englephat]

Thanks I didn't realize that was the lyrics until you mentioned it

[@billygowhoop]

I feel like Jermaine could have a long career as a cartoon voice actor.

[@G-DORA]

billygowhoop He's actually played in alot of cartoons if you didn't know.

[@jekbanzam1347]

yep

[@sleepingzebras]

He has a great part in Moana.

[@senneuh1]

His favourite part IMO is when he sings the moonmen song in Rick & Morty.

[@SwedishWookie]

isn't he the big white bird in Rio?

[@tomtom21194]

Cant get over how genius this is

[@hoptop77]

so this is the greatest song in the world

[@GingerBagels]

wrong guitar playing comedy duo there mate

[@La_sagne]

+GingerBagels tribute is actually a tribute to this song

[@s0ngf0rx]

tribute to which song, may i ask?

[@Aunrael]

That would be a tribute to the greatest song in the world there, bud.

[@zyeslek]

hoptop77 I have to agree with you

[@dakterdee]

Ring I'm Gonna Leave you - Flight of the Zeppelins

[@treehousekohtao]

Ramble on frodo

[@natehansen08]

when they do their songs live, it's always better than on the show

[@akselst]

Rapping: "Frodo don't wear the ring. The magical bling bling." Forgot how great this song was.

[@Drakengard82]

Really, the best version of this song imo

[@karda009]

I think the recorded version had a better rock part, but I prefer the extra lyrics in this one (TROLLS, ELVES, HUMAN BEINGS)

[@mbwhly]

All their best performances were on ABC 2, an Australian TV network.

[@Xen0morph075]

the magical bling bling~

[@karadan100]

I love their dry absurdism.

[@pokintherain]

It’s very fitting that their hair in this performance looks like hobbits hair LOL

[@Ryod4n]

"...I'm all right. I was saved by a giant eagle" It gets me every time....

[@E1eanorRigby]

"I'm all right. I was saved by a giant eagle!" Love this song.

[@mercedesschott]

1:29 - 2:03 has to be my favorite part of the song, especially the part where he says "Ah, Gandalf, my old friend. I like what you've done with your beard." Also the part about how they only have 8 people fighting everyone and suceed. I love this song!

[@TheHighRoller473]

"There's thousands of them and only about eight of us; we'll never make it!" "Oh no..." "We made it." "Oh, horray!" Best part of the whole thing!

[@josephsollender8487]

Hell yes my two favorite things goofy great music and Tolkien. Great job gentlemen you have given everyone a gift with your awsomness and for that I thank you.

[@LisaTupu]

I swear Jemaine looks like the long lost love child of Mick Jagger and Jim Morrison.

[@bramsteenhoek2674]

Mick Jagger with the attitude the of terminator

[@Zora101]

This song is way better like this, live, than as a studio version! This has more power and is more fun

[@Simon-dx7fs]

Is this the New Zealand national anthem?

[@bethany2810]

I wish.

[@meghanphillips3495]

If not, it should be.

[@mamesmck5236]

It is, I just asked them.

[@jabbid111]

This is definitely my favourite song from them! So much win.

[@user-il9qo4qc4n]

This is such a 2011 comment.

[@lune78]

"They didn't use it, it was really hurtful" I guess you could say they had... hurt feelings.

[@shantheman9922]

we'll never make it! oh no! ... we made it! LOL

[@Aunrael]

The little 'Oh, hooray!' made it for me XD

[@Hugo_Tate]

Oh so you saw the video too

[@HopeHendershot-Moskal]

This is funny because Bret is in the Hobbit movies. We've come a long way.

[@OwlyOwlman]

+Hope Moskal he's in Lord of the Rings too.

[@ufotofu9]

+Erellia Who is he is LOTR? Edit: I should have just looked it up, it turns out that eh plays a FIGWIT Elf named Linder. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figwit#/media/File:Figwit.PNG He has a very feminine and pretty face when he's shaven..

[@fickdondler]

+Geoffrey Zoref holy crap that picture blew my mind lol

[@Aunrael]

You just made my night! Thank you ^_^

[@HopeHendershot-Moskal]

Even better, Jemaine does the voice of Sauron in the New Lego Batman movie..... the joke just keeps going. :D

[@honeygrlmusic]

I think I prefer this version over the recorded version. They’re both good for different reasons, this one just made me laugh a bit more :)

[@dav616]

"Don't rap about jizz 'n hoes, i rap about witches n' trolls" best line ever! need a FOTC tattoo next to my LOTR one after this. perfect!

[@Shinkajo]

I know I'm a little late, but it's "bitches and hoes", not jizz..

[@anaussie213]

It's about bitches and hoes not jizz'n hoes, lol.

[@rain360]

"I'm alright, I was saved by a giant eagle." That line pops into my head at the strangest times! XD

[@jabbid111]

This is definetely one of my favourites!

[@tmmeissgeier]

The guitar riff sounds a little like don't fear the reaper

[@tangorangry]

+timothy meissgeier May be it is intentional? Don't wear a ring, don't fear a reaper.

[@vividhit]

+tangorangry the ring, the reaper*

[@La_sagne]

it sounds like babe, im gonna leave you by led Zeppelin

[@averyadrian1534]

It’s actually closer to “hit the road jack”

[@patrickgass787]

I really like the part where they invent rap mid-song.

[@eloril]

This was from 'Standup!', a standup comedy show in Australia, this is all they did on this episode, so this is pretty much the 'whole vid' :)

[@rsrexkwondo2326]

It genuinely sounds pretty dope when Jermaine says the fellowship at 2:13.

[@sanityisrelative]

They are so freaking adorable! ~

[@ellenjoan3813]

the magical bling bling lol

[@kaddisfly12]

Ah, Gandalf my old friend, I like what you've done with your beard.

[@AlexO-sx6ff]

Best band ever from New Zealand.

[@WolfWalrus]

as of _The LEGO Batman Movie_ (2017), both Brett and Jermaine have played _Lord of the Rings_ characters. Brett was in Fellowship and Return of the King, where he played "Elf Escort" (or "Figwit"), and a different elf named Lindir in the Hobbit movies. Jermaine played the Eye of Sauron in LEGO Batman

[@heeggie]

Rings of power has bought me back to this absolute classic 🤣🤣🤣

[@basedbroskiworld]

you watch that woke crap 😅

[@sakuramana91]

Im in love with Jemaine!!!!

[@AWormsPurpose]

I remember my dad Limewiring this song and hearing it periodically in the car.

[@shupakiko]

CMON CMON' Rule THEM with the RING DUDE ! lmao i love this part to death

[@TarielOfLorien]

The magical bling bling. XD These guys rock so much.

[@Ashyblubear]

We'll never make it OH NO! We made it OH HOORAY!

[@iDislikeNames]

their incredible wit makes them sexy. i love how brett kept looking at the camera.

[@iadorenewyork1]

This is one of Flight's best little tunes.

[@mikhahl]

11 years... still the best

[@Benthebass87]

Woah! Amazing... I can't believe I hadn't seen this version yet.

[@eripana]

this has to be one of my faves.

[@HaYzExELiTE]

I never really got this song. I then watched all 3 LOTR films, and now it's my favorite song...

[@Jmw93091]

I love the fact that Bret and his Dad were both involved with the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

[@hillierninja]

'the fellowship Yeah the fellowship' Nice bit of harmony there... great job

[@BlueRavenBoy]

"I'm okay, I was saved by a giant eagle!" Genius!

[@glitter_bombed]

If you look closely in the first one, he's sitting next to Aragorn at the Council of Elrond when they first get to Rivendel.

[@somegreens]

Jemaine is So awsome here!!

[@Alltorn-N56]

ITS AWESOME!!!!!

[@kscarto9599]

I miss these guys so much!!! :)

[@mloftus8618]

Best comedy show that you never heard of. I wish that there were more than 2 seasons of their HBO show...that was the funniest shit ever.

[@chewmuffa]

The magical bling bling!!!

[@e_molly]

i love this song

[@danlab21]

Thank you FOTC for a much needed laugh

[@UDjVirus]

Absolutamente increible, estos tios son increibles...

[@waIIflower]

Oh man... if these guys handle girls anything like they handle their guitars, that's some satisfied women right there.

[@aquamarine99911]

In the famous duos - e.g. Wham, Hall & Oates, Tears for Fears - you usually know who the more talented on is. But not so with FOTC. I can't imagine a world in which Jemaine and Bret didn't find each other. But only Bret has an Oscar. So ...

[@ChrisEllen90]

haha yes mate, he is. He is an elf. On wikipedia it says he is actually in two, which i wasn't aware of. "An elf at the council of elrond" and an "elf escort" He gets like one line... BUT HE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL DOING IT

[@sdc3536]

Bret was actually in the Lord of the Rings, he appeared in the Fellowship sitting next to Aragorn and in the Return of the King he was the elf who kept saying "my lady" when Arwen didnt leave middle-earth

[@TR1GR4MPR0DUCT10N5]

2018 Nostalgia...

[@barneeey]

this is fucking brilliant. probably billions have watched the lotr movies but these guys wrote the best fucking song

[@Amber-ej3rr]

I don't know how I stumbled across this but it's f*cking great XD

[@FaustVII674]

@Jhohn89 Not only that, but he has lines in one of them. It's when Arwen sees the future and then an elf(Bret) comes up and says, "Lady Arwen, we cannot delay"

[@DiaboloDave464]

These men are my heroes

[@jamesonmoore1837]

A pair of bards travel across Middle Earth, spreading the tale of a young hobbit.

[@mattilynngrace7225]

To this day I still want a compilation of Jermaine's faces

[@NinaC]

The magical bling bling!!!!!!

[@matthewsnyder674]

They're so brilliant.

[@cheekyseason7415]

best song ever!

[@DragonZerul]

This is extra funny if you know that Bret played an elf in the movie.

[@kelkiiii]

omg this is awesome idk why i didnt search a live version earlier wen i first heard this song like 3months ago lmao ^_^ awesome

[@cremno]

Magical bling bling! I need to get myself some of that!

[@domlo66]

"I'm alright, i was saved by a giant eagle"

[@ejanocrowsnatcher6785]

This song was actually fire Like the fires of mordor

[@88SLLS]

Sounds a little like babe I'm gonna leave you by Led Zeppelin

[@schuyler67]

And Zeppelin, of course, has several songs inspired by LOTR.

[@Pauly421]

Schuyler DuPree Zep completely ripped off howard shore totally

[@flaneur5560]

+Pauly Mack Zep ripped off everybody and constantly have to settle out of court

[@ufotofu9]

+88SLLS Yeah, that's what they are going for b/c Led Zeppelin wrote many lyrics about LOTR and The Hobbit.

[@La_sagne]

+Geoffrey Zoref T'was in the darkest depths of mordor I met a girl so fair, But gollum, and the evil one crept up And slipped away with her.

[@oblivion4lcf]

the guitar in the first part in the beggining of the song is very similar to "babe,I'm gonna leave you" from Led Zeppelin!!nice!!! This song is great!!great humor!!

[@iansocawarrior]

I was hungover this morning. Thankfully, I was saved by a giant eagle.

[@lucinderellaj]

Ah, Gandalf, my old friend. I like what you have done with your beard... Brilliant!!!

[@Buqui]

Frodo, don't wear the ring... the magical bling bling xD

[@mjaukatt123lol]

he's been in them all!

[@nastynato3095]

Magical bling

[@flyingburrito777]

Does anyone else hear Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" when they listen to this? Awesome song!

[@vandathevampire]

Jemaine looks like Jim Morrison in those sunglasses. :D

[@skyraid2]

magical BLING BLING!

[@suzrachel9036]

Love it !

[@CBjarupS]

Mylady! We cannot delay!

[@lonelygnome1]

the magical bling-bling.

[@webslinger7772]

Pure brilliance!

[@EmiLovey10]

I am so excited to find this video.......... :D

[@TominatorT1]

There's thousands of them, and only about eight of us, we'll never make it Ooh no! .......we made it Huray, yay!!!!

[@cdertz]

Jemaine saying "Yeah the Fellowship!" is priceless.

[@hyperfunkd]

Too good. FOTC are immense!

[@Macdaddy5539]

The first half of this sounded like a tenacious d song

[@hezekielbooi]

they feel a little bit.. awesome!!
