Flight of the Conchords - Father And Son - Dallas, TX 10-26-2016

Flight of the Conchords perform Father and Son in Dallas, Texas on October 26, 2016.

[@jamesallen5850]

The setup, the laughs from the audience and the way they sang this. This is the most perfect version of this song.

[@ryanrutledge4532]

It was great but I can only enjoy it pieces!

[@Lasse3]

gettin teary eyed here, beyond the comedy they snuck in a very beautiful song..

[@ro31369]

And here we are a year later, and now I'm fuggin' cryingtoo. I thought they were going to cover Cat Stevens.

[@jessejive117]

Haha foreal dude

[@BlipSS]

I found this right after I lost my first son during birth. It hit me incredibly hard. But now I have a 4yo and this song changed into something I will love forever, and keeps me close to my first son.

[@xaayer]

If you thought this was beautiful, check out the bus driver song

[@simar7454]

I have been going around singing "Dad she calls you an asshole" it's the most melodic thing FOTC has ever done

[@christophemarois5423]

I'm just so glad these two exist

[@MsEverythingzen]

Christophe Marois I'm glad too.

[@markcorless3552]

Underrated quotes.

i performed this song today with my dad in a show we did in our local theatre, above where i work. it was the most well received part of the show and the most enjoyable for both us and the audience. thank you for writing this masterpiece

Possibly the saddest song they’ve done. The guys wife left him for his friend and now he’s homeless while Trevor wins his son’s affections and takes his whole world away.

[@dennisjohansen8490]

Man this song is such an emotional roller coaster. Half-way through my brain had to reboot because it didn't know what emotion it was supposed to be feeling.

[@reyrapids63]

I like how they glossed over the fact that Bret was in Lord of the Rings

[@DaveySkate]

this is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard, even though its humorous

Those motion capture effects are honestly stunning! No idea how they do it.

[@jamcdonald83]

Another hilarious/genius song from FoC. I saw them in MN and they stopped singing to tease us (the crowd) on how off-beat our clapping was, haha. Crossing my fingers for another official special of all their new songs.

[@falconarea]

Best version I had found so far

[@MaYyNeJu564woopwoop]

I did, and the london special as well. Don't get me wrong I am so hyped they came back and appreciate them but still think this version stays the best one.

Actually, Bret was in The Hobbit

it was in the extended cut of the return of the king, wasn't it? and then reprised the role in the hobbit.

[@MrMuckymouse]

Hey Dad Yes Son? I thought today was a lot of fun Hey Son Yes Dad? Today was the funnest day a Dad ever had Building castles in the sand Just you and I Driving round in the car I even let you drive Eating dinner from a can Dads yummy can surprise Just a guy and his little guy Just a guy and his little guy Son I know it's hard to see your Daddy cry But it's been pretty rough since your Mother died But stay strong, stay tough my little guy Cause we can be a family just you and I You know very well Dad Mumma didn't die She just hooked up with another guy His names Trevor and now they live together That's where you pick me up on Fridays nights Dont you wonder where I go? You always go for a while You never ask me where I've been Don't want to cramp your style When I see you on weekends You always make me smile Just the smile of my little guy Just the smile of my little guy Hey Dad can I sit on your knee? Got questions about the world that are troubling me Well tell me all those questions that you have for me And tell me does your Mother still mention me? When I grow up what will I do? Will I be a Fireman or work in the Zoo? You can do whatever whatever you choose The worlds at your feet well it's all up to you Just a boy and his Dad Just a Dad and his kid Hanging out together together I'd like to live on the moon Or maybe live on a star Or will I be like you Dad and live in the car? You can't live on a star you'd be burnt into ash And where you spend your nights is just a matter of cash Will I fall in love and will it be forever Or will she leave me someday for someone like Trevor? You just never know how love will end But don't let her spend time with your handsomer friend Just a boy and his Dad Just a Dad and his Kid Hanging out together together Since your Mumma passed away No, she did't pass away I think about your lonely little heart every single day Oh she's living in our old place Together we don't need to feel so bad I'm not sad Because I've still got Dad Because you've still got Dad And another even cooler Dad Since your Mumma ran away Oh she wished she did it years ago I think about your lonely little heart every single day Oh Pappa she calls you an asshole But you don't need to feel so sad I'm not sad Because I've got two Dads Because you've still got Dad And Trevor bought me a brand new bike Since your Mother ran, since your Mother ran and passed away Some of us really do other things and I I think about your lonely heart your lonely heart every day That's where I go on weekday nights But the two of us have got, the two of us got to be quite glad I'm not sad Because I've still got Dad Because you've still got Dad Hey Dad can I sit on your knee? Got questions about the world that are troubling me No Son you can't sit on my knee You're too big you're thirty-three You'll always be my little guy But you're thirty-three

[@13Firelight37]

[@CUNOWINS]

I'm pretty sure it's a parody?

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this, but I can relate far more to this than Cat Stevens...

[@dennisjohansen8490]

Is one of them named Trevor?

[@SomeCatchyName]

thats amazing

[@Stephen_Nothum]

So why did they change it? This is clearly the best version.

[@CUNOWINS]

Stephen Nothum Agreed. I guess they didn’t think so.

[@osamabindiesel3658]

Was thinking the exact same thing

[@davidvondoom2853]

They are constantly switching up their songs a bit. My guess is that they get tired of singing them the same way, all the time, so they change it up, once and a while. It also makes each performance original.

[@incidentalist]

Probably just a lot of improv....

[@christophersanders3252]

Me- Dad, I don't know how I got this far, and I just feel like I don't what I'm doing. I'm starting to think no one does. Dad- About time you figured it out. None of us have any idea what you're doing.

They did use this tech in Lord Of The Rings...its called forced perspective. :-)

[@Jacquobite]

Many a true word was said in jest.

[@MilesBellas]

yes..... generally it was done digitally..... like this, simply adjusting the size of one element and recomping it kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGPSnKeAhsuefpo The Hobbit was done in 3D so forced perspective could not be used.

[@RighteousBrother]

Its not the same technique at all.

[@MilesBellas]

RighteousBrother a mixture of techniques were used BTW I know Brett's wife, she worked at WETA Digital in production. That's how I met her. One night I went to a party and had a few drinks with the Hobbit stunt doubles which was pretty funny. Some of them are sort of well known actors.
