"For this I'd recommend a rose. For a rose-like scent I'd probably go with a rose." That's a florist that knows her job! 😂

[@invisibledooley]

Points for extreme historical accuracy.

[@OzzyCoop]

Not since the summer of 1353 have I heard such wooing.

[@blahblahblah4544]

😂

[@scoggers1628]

Wooing ain't what it used to be!

[@wildthornrose]

I'm officially wooed.

[@KJ-je9pm]

Blue Sunshine jabroni

[@WaaDoku]

That was the most savage flute battle I've ever seen!! Actually, that's the first flute battle I've ever seen xD

[@Aczie042]

Recorder, actually. Close enough.

[@3DxPOD]

Record her, I barely knew her.

[@happyfreeky]

Check out old Jethro Tull concert footage

[@Maliceah]

The moment when Bret realized he was being dirty in front of a kid. Priceless.

[@bartleyruckman3313]

or when he doesn't realize he pointed the flute at the kid instead of the MIC haha

[@thatpunkcatte]

​@@bartleyruckman3313Think he was trying to let the kid play the flute but the kid didn't realise 🤣

[@WibblyPigNZ]

3 simultaneous recorder solos... what a supergroup!

[@ghiblet]

Think you were going for *consecutive there.

[@HuddBob]

@@ghiblet They are going all at once for one bit.

[@ghiblet]

@@HuddBob then it's not a solo haha

[@HuddBob]

@@ghiblet I would say they are discordant enough to be solos. They're really only sharing a rhythm, not much harmony. By your logic it isn't a guitar solo unless the bass and drums shut up.

[@Pdalow]

@@HuddBob It's not a guitar solo if there are other instruments. A true instrumental solo is a single instrument.

[@bobbyferguson9381]

Bret absolutely nails that note at the end of his hairdresser impression. Angelic...

[@CLBOO6]

Love it when Bret did all the different voices.

[@aquamarine99911]

I generally think of Jemaine as doing the best voices, and he does have a career as a voice actor. But they're both so damn good at everything. It's weird. They have such different looks, but they're essentially interchangeable.

[@HardlyCommon]

“I maketh not the rules” quoth he is such an underrated line 🤣

[@gordondean9189]

Bret may well be the most awesome human being ever. His dealing with the child was perfect. He deserves every success he gets.

[@drey8]

"alas I have no ID on me who even carries ID it's 1353. I maketh not the rules, quoth he."

[@robmckennie4203]

They changed that line in this version, I think it was one of the worst changes.

[@gordondean2165]

Whatever form of artistic endeavour this pair touch immediately turns to gold. Their talents are incredible.

[@taylorsachs5779]

horse is big, the tights are fun..the hairs a little 1351 😂🎠🌹

well, He-Man has the very same haircut... HE-MAN, double masculine...

[@petesmith8863]

My day was shit until i saw this. All better now

[@djitidjiti6703]

The lyrics are great, but the music is also really enjoyable on its own.

[@griffinh21]

Bret should voice characters on Skyrim

[@jacksoncook6858]

[@Sotanuija]

Grayson Dubose I heard they were planning to hire 1 additional voice actor to the next Elder Scrolls

[@invisibledooley]

@Grayson Dubose He could all of the 4 voice actors.

[@GoggledAgog]

@Nick Pease that was Jemaine

[@KJ-je9pm]

Brit

[@tomhenry8556]

Recorder solos. Bloody brilliant!

[@ErinFisherMusic]

GENIUS! LOL "oh is that the time?" "Just say I wooed you anyway..."

[@taylorsachs5779]

Erin Fisher I think i might be coming with a little touch of the plague

[@kaitotatsuya]

the ending was legendary

[@aprilknapp9631]

Aw they left out my favorite part after the stable man asks him for an id he says, "I had an unflattering tapestry made of me." 🤣

[@taliesinfox5901]

this has very strong what we do in the shadows vibes love them for it

[@possiblyfun881]

Bret's impressions are just too perfect :D

[@KJ-je9pm]

3 recorder solos at the same time. Legendary lol

[@jamesc7916]

Umm...

[@milkdawgmcgee7498]

Lmfao "Jemaine there are some really young kids here" (Jemaine stops thrusting)

[@JazGalaxy]

MilkDawg Mcgee who brings kids to flight of the concords? People are so weird.

[@chrundle00]

@@JazGalaxy My family used to watch and listen to Fotc with eachother all the time, we still do. They're pretty family friendly

[@adamkatt]

@@JazGalaxy id say they are plenty kid friendly their adult content is very low.

[@sarahbreisch4750]

@@adamkatt uuhhhh.... I didn't know if I let my boys watch flight of the Conchords I'm pretty sure one of them would draw some Stars on themselves in a place that David Bowie supposedly recommended Brett do.... Or start singing about their sugar lumps..

[@stellaroj]

Bret actually wrote this during a trip to Middle-Earth.

[@SilvethTheRadiant]

This is easily the best version. I was in Texas and saw them. Hilarious!

[@SleepFaster18]

They forgot the part about getting an unflattering tapestry

[@jamcdonald83]

I think finding a best-friend at this level should be called "finding your Conchord". Similar to Matt and Trey (South Park). Thankful for comedy today ^^

[@bycasas]

Can't wait for the first Flight of the Conchords opera!

[@KotoCrash]

This is great, in the show I went to they added a verse about getting a tapestry seen for their id lol

[@maddie107]

Snap :) (Birmingham last Tuesday :) )

[@lucyhenshall2544]

Me too! Manchester a couple of weeks ago

[@fenderstratguy]

And it was an unflattering tapestry right?

[@AriannaLuxAeterna]

This aged well.

[@Crimethoughtfull]

For a rose-like scent I'd suggest a rose...LOL!

[@paulmitchum8658]

They know how to end on a high note.

As a Aussie I love my Kiwi Neighbours . they are fantastic . a complete Scream.

WOOOO there it is

[@justin880]

I was born in 1341 and this has always been my jam

[@annamosten4358]

I was truly wooed

[@SpookyLuvCookie]

Brett is channeling Ian Anderson. It's in the eyes.

[@PrivateSi]

I'm not normally a fan of woo woo but that was a great record.

[@Crimethoughtfull]

Scientific woo is bad, but pretty lady woo is awesome! ;-)

[@vincentpol]

I like how at 3:05 Jemaine forgets to setup Bret, so Bret does a double take, then says his line, and even he knows it's wonky.

[@stefanietobar93]

"He-Man has the same haircut" XD

[@Finwaell]

They are a living legend. Would love to see them some day... I have this feeling like all similar guy groups like Ylvis and Tenacious D are inspired by them :)) Although Tenacious D might be older, not sure now.

[@scarletamazon3455]

Tenacious D was around long before them. Both great in their own ways! Bill Bailey is another talented musician who is also a brilliant comedian.

[@anthonygrugnale6259]

Tenacious D was 94, conchords were 4 years after

[@assmane999]

Great job, Murray on getting them this great gig. Was Mel there?

[@philpants44]

i'd rather see the crazy dogs

[@marijandesin8226]

I remember when this first came out They were far ahead of their time

[@LockeRobsta]

Bret plays that flute like an Elf. Oh wait...

[@teebles]

I wish they kept the line "I had a very unflattering tapestry made of me"

[@Vojife]

That flute solo part really gave me some Stalker soundtrack (the 1979 film) vibes at the beginning.

[@BarbaraTiem]

Pitching woo, as it was once called. Woo! Woo!.

[@TCMabe]

Really gives me some nice Jethro Tull vibes ... Songs From The Wood, Minstrel in The Gallery ... great voice !

[@bobbifreedman2435]

These are so great!

[@davidlane7556]

that was very good 👍😁❤️

[@davecross4493]

I need to start writing comedy songs like this. Amazing.

[@kromus1]

This had a bit of the mighty Tenacious D about it. Imagine a D/Conchords mashup. Jemaine and J-balls. Brett and Rage Kage. Awesome.

[@Crimethoughtfull]

Wow...just thinking about it blew my mind!

[@gracefool]

[@adamkatt]

@@gracefool lies.... -1

[@libertarianvoter]

I love the version of this song in which Jemaine does all the voices.

[@kyleclancy4040]

I always get the impression that they dont follow the exact lyrics every performance. They know the songs so well that they improvise new jokes every performance and sing it a little differently. They probably practice many different performances of the same songs

[@HolandaChiquita]

They hardly ever cut out bits (unless they just not remember them) but they do improvise a lot and add things... Personally I think it's a better song when Brett is in it...

[@davidvondoom2853]

Agreed. I prefer the performance at Wembley. If they put this song in their new special, then I hope they use that version instead.

[@JM-pb3bm]

HolandaChiquita, well said!

[@SiggsGBR]

The performance at the 02 last month was great, they did a really extended version of Faux du Fa Fa, with lots of insult throwing in french xD The version they did of this also had a few extra lines, about how Jermaine got a picture ID..."a very unflattering tapestry" ;)

[@HorneySwordman]

when stuff turns to shit, i come back to this song. how bad we have realy?

[@MadCowsProductions1]

yess thank you!

[@crithon]

"there's really young kids out here."..... was about to say that as they are shooting with their flutes.

[@adamkatt]

What an awesome way to end the show

[@sklainp]

Awesome 👏

[@DwightCollins]

DEFINITELY 😊STAY

[@oirasorv]

Thanks to this I need them to made the score of a period movie or a parody period movie and that they starring it as the troubadours who follow the characters while playing and telling the story like the rooster in Robin Hood. I picture Jemaine as the over-confident one with his He-Man haircut and with a large pencil mostache, giving sassy smiles the whole time while Bret would be the shy one who's actually smarter, wearing a hat with a big feather on it.

[@MrKGHunter]

Damn. Big fan. Never heard this one, awesome. I don’t know about these guys though, too devious.

Genius!!

idk why but this type of music(voice and instrument playing) sounds so fucking badass imo. Tho i wonder what kind of music genre this is.
