I Told You I Was Freaky
Judging from the range displayed on their second album on Sub Pop, I Told You I Was Freaky, the Flight of the Conchords have yet to unearth a genre which can withstand their artistry.
Unflinching in their lyrical stance, sophisticated with their arrangements, crafting melodies which always lodge firmly in the frontal lobe: Flight of the Conchords have here created thirteen best-selling ringtones, humbly masquerading as songs.
Their rhymes are fearless, their thesauruses dog-eared. Only cool, confident specimens of manhood such as these could drop three-dollar vocabulary busters like "dungarees" and
"pantaloons" while still mesmerizing the ladies with their undulating
"Sugalumps".
Vivid imagery? Check: The ardent Angels, should spur listeners to think twice the next time they consider catching a snowflake on their tongues. Better still, the amorous odyssey of the
album's zenith, We're Both In Love with A Sexy Lady, unfolds before the listener's very ears in real time; Flight of the Conchords are making history, and You! Are! There!
I Told You I Was Freaky is, among a great many other things, a genre-tripping tour de force and includes three songs from the second series of their popular and award winning/nominated HBO TV
show which are otherwise as yet unreleased (Rambling Through the Avenues Of Time, Too Many
Dicks (On the Dance Floor) and You Don't Have To Be A Prostitute).
