That's one of the main reason's they're such a great musical comedy act. Their music is genuinely enjoyable. I find a lot of comedic songs by lesser performers lean way too much on the novelty of their jokes, and the songs themselves just get annoying as a result. If you have jokes but can't write a good song to deliver them, then just tell the jokes. Don't make us endure bad music as part of the package :/

This song made me realise how good they are. Not only is it funny, but it's also poignant, bittersweet, hopeful, sad, it's multi-layered. The music also underlines the lyric, verses being happy go lucky and carefree as he describes how all these people found ways to leave him, the pause in mentioning Carol Brown's departure, like THAT'S the one that hurt him the most, of all the departures, then the chorus choir which just slams the point home. It's a beautifully written song, at a level that rivals Ray Davies (The Kinks) for arrangement, lyric and taking something seemingly ordinary and making it those things mentioned above .. funny, poignant, bittersweet, hopeful, sad. It's in denial and self aware at the same time. One of my favourite songs in the universe. They deserved recognition for this one creation, if any of the many really great tunes they've written. But this one. This one's at another level.

Accompanied by the hilarity & beauty of the song this is definitely one of my favorutie things from FOTC.

Michel Gondry directed this episode so it was his concept for this "video" of having the band seemingly produce their own video while performing the song, given it's effectively a narration of the singer's past. Very clever! But probably only spotted by people who've been in video editing suites. Those boxes were probably worthless garbage at the time they were props for this scene but they were very expensive back in the day.

I love the fact that you can see Bruce at the back of the choir!

I've listened to this song over a thousand times I'm guessing, and it never gets old. I'll never forget watching it for the first time, being blown away by how outstanding it was as a comedy song and a great song in general.

The line about “Brittany hit me” goes right to the heart for me, because I had a physically abusive girlfriend named Brittany who gave me black eyes on multiple occasions.

"There must be fifty ways that lovers have left me" is such a nice wink to Paul Simon's song Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover :)

My favourite detail is that Bruce the man is also part of the choir. He has a beautiful voice too, must be said

Bret is killing me with his happy-go-lucky dancing and clicking his fingers. I love these guys, I'm glad on their albums some of the songs are extended.

My favorite Conchords song... and partly because this great video was directed by Michel Gondry, who's probably most famous for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Another fun fact: a young Sia (not pictured) sings in the choir of ex-girlfriends.

I was looking for this to share with a friend because "Carol Brown" is one of my favorite Flight of the Conchords songs. Cracks me up every time I hear it on my favorite comedy radio channel.🤣 I love the girlfriend choir. It doesn't hurt that I have a sister named Carol.

You know how great comedy is always ignored at the academy awards, or when it matters? Yeah.

The only thing more epic than this song is the video. Together with the song, this is truly masterful.

This is such a cute show. In a time when HBO had the wire, Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Rome, FOTC was a gem. A simple, relaxed and innocent show. And it worked!
