The Emmys is, like, an awards show for television or something -- whatever, doesn't matter. What
does matter is that
Flight of the Conchords was nominated for an award, so
FOTC creators and stars Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie were on hand at the show. During a red carpet interview, Bret confirmed to TV Guide that the group's musical musings are headed to
Rock Band (watch the video interview past the break)
. Previously, the band's label, Sub Pop,
announced plans to convert its "entire catalog" into playable tracks.
Bret claimed that a total of three songs would be added to the
Rock Band Music Store, though neither he nor Jemaine would elaborate on
which songs would be released. Hey guys, make it happen:
Which FOTC tunes are you praying to play?

I'd like to thank Saria for introducing me to the following:

dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:27PM
I'll be wishing right along with you, bub. :)
Saria the Cat @ Sep 22nd 2009 5:50PM
Aww, so I wasn't disowned after all. :)
I'd be extremely happy if this got to Rock Band, as well as Most Beautiful Girl in the Room, my 2nd favorite. Overall this is wonderful news.
FAnchax @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:32PM
Most Beautiful Girl in the Room!
Phil @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:33PM
That and Too Many Dicks and you got me sold.
Boffo the $ock @ Sep 22nd 2009 4:12PM
Cause you're so beautiful
Like a tree
Or a high-class prostitute
Saria the Cat @ Sep 22nd 2009 5:51PM
You could be an air hostess in the 60's!
My 2nd favorite, only bested by If You're Into It. Because I love being lewd with two dudes with food.

'If That's What You're Into'. Not appropriate, but one of my favorites.

Amen, Mage.

Haircuts?! Whaaaaa...?
Damian @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:35PM
I just don't find these guys funny . The more people go on and on about how great something is I kind of build a resistance to it . Artic Monkeys , X-Factor , I-pods , Macs , Susan Boyle ( Oh wow an ugly person can sing ? shallow ) etc etc . I cant help it!
Space @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:41PM
you should just fill your life with things that you like regardless of what other people think. It's very liberating.
PedoJokerBear [Planeteer | Power of Gall Bladder] @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:46PM
well being the son of satan does that to people
aristokrat @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:04PM
Yeah, either way you're letting other people form your opinions for you. A huge ton of people like watching TV, so maybe you should give that up. Or how about video games? Everyone round these parts hypes them all the time, so maybe they should get the ax too.
Eh @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:19PM
Thats what they call "being a tool," you either only like things because everyone else likes them or you only hate things being everyone else likes them. Form your own opinions about things instead of letting society make all your decisions for you.
baby sea tuna @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:30PM
I don't like them either. I think Murray and their #1 fan are funny, but the rest of the show, eh. And just think, I formed that opinion all by myself!
Shagittarius @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:58PM
Z-Rock is better.
Dreganfyre @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:14PM
I'm the same way. The other day my wife and I were having steaks and I was like "how's the steak?" and she was like "delicious". I almost gagged. I had to give the rest to the dog. So I ate a wad of tin foil instead.
FrodoT-Baggins @ Sep 22nd 2009 5:25PM
I used to think this show sucked...until I watched it.
Saria the Cat @ Sep 22nd 2009 5:52PM
Dude, I know! Oxygen is soooo overrated and mainstream.
Friend @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:36PM
Oh god, I'd pick Rockband in a heartbeat if this happens mutha'ucka
aristokrat @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:06PM
don't be uckin' with my shee
CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:29PM
Well they just said they were coming to Rock Band, so you better go pick it up.
baby sea tuna @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:34PM
Wait, so the music from literally HUNDREDS of excellent (not to mention legitimate) bands were not selling points, but this fake-joke band from a comedy TV show is going to be what finally gets you to pick up Rock Band? Um, okay.
Me? I'm holding out for Weird Al!
MrKlorox @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:51PM
FYI they're a REAL joke band and the TV show came AFTER their 'success'.
Space @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:51PM
they are actually a band even when they are not on the show. That makes them a real life joke band.
Saria the Cat @ Sep 22nd 2009 5:54PM
Whoa, that's brilliant! It's already censored in its original form!
Eric @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:38PM
Fuck Yes!!! I want all of them!
why not the LS2LS7? @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:39PM
The guys are freakin' funny, no doubt. But songs with that much talking just don't seem like they'd be fun to play.
MrKlorox @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:53PM
agreed
TC81190 @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:39PM
They're signed on to Sub Pop, who said they'd be releasing their entire catalog to the Rock Band network once that got up, so all of their music will be on it eventually anyway.
Levi @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:40PM
JEMAINE. There is no "r". Jesus.

When I first breezed through this comment I thought you said "There is no 'r' in Jesus", and then I thought....
Jersus?

They call me the rhymenocerous, not because I'm fat, not because I've got birds on my back, because I'm horny. . .I'm horny!
TheKarmaPolice @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:32PM
They call me the Rhymenocerous because my rhymes are bottomless.................................................
ToadStoolPorridge (PSN: tennispro_99) @ Sep 22nd 2009 4:46PM
This is the hiphopapotomus, and I am insulted that you stole one of my many, many, lyrics...
daliminator2000 @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:45PM
His name's Jemaine!
That said, "Business TIme", "Foux Da Fa Fa" and "Albi" are my picks. I'd be blown away if "Jenny" made it, since it's my favorite FoTC song, but I don't think it would translate well to Rock Band.
Dan Davis @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:29PM
I second "Foux Da Fa Fa", if only so I can say "BAGUETTES... HAHAHAHA" in a snooty French accent!
Neuromancer @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:45PM
Ooh, next thing you know were in the bathroom brushing our teeth.
That's all part of it. That's foreplay.
Then you go sort out the recycling, that's not part of it but it's still very important.
Then we're in the bedroom. You're wearing that ugly old baggy t-shirt from that team building exercise you did for your old work, and it's never looked better on you.
Mmmhh, team building exercise not tonight!
Oh you don't know what you're doing to me. I remove my jeans but trip over them
'cause I've still got my shoes on, but then I turn it into a sexy dance.
Next thing you know I'm down to just my socks and you know when I'm down to just my socks what time it is.
It's time for business.
It's business time.
TheKarmaPolice @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:34PM
It's Business...it's business time!
That's why they call 'em business socks!
dylan @ Sep 22nd 2009 10:09PM
"team building exercise '99"
Dirty @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:45PM
Crazy Dogs would sell a lot more than these guys.
