Hace pocas semanas tuve la oportunidad de presenciar el nacimiento de una nueva serie televisiva, The flight of the Conchords. La historia se resume la vida de Jemaine y Bret quienes viajan desde su Nueva Zelanda natal a la ciudad de Nueva York buscando el éxito de su dúo de música folk «Flight of the Conchords». La serie se centra en el duro día a día de esta pareja, que sólo va a encontrar dificultades a la hora de conseguir la fama.
Entre un mar de sucesos «Flight of the Conchords» supone una brisa de aire fresco en el panorama televisivo con la original propuesta de llevar a la pequeña pantalla una versión ficticia del popular dúo cómico-musical del mismo nombre. Es para morirse de risa ver a Jemaine y Bret luchar contra sí mismos y contra el sistema que les ha sido impuesto. Pueden visitar la página de los Conchords y descargarse los episodios.

Aparte de que sólo hay unas pocas canciones cortas por episodio, las letras son lo suficientemente divertidas como para ser disfrutadas en cualquier caso. Incluso las coreografías son risibles, con parodias a los videoclips espantosos de los años 80. Los 30 minutos de duración se pasan como un suspiro, garantizado. Muy recomendable.
Aquí el video y su respectiva letra del tema de Rhymenocerous y Hiphopopotamus, extracto de un episodio.

I'm the mother flippin' Rhymenocerous
My beats are fly and the birds are on my back
And I'm horny
I'm horny
If you choose to proceed you will indeed concede
Cos I hit you with my flow
The Wild Rhino Stampede.
I'm not just wild, I'm trained,
Domesticated
I was raised by a rapper and rhino that dated
And subsequently procreated
That's how it goes
Here's the Hiphopopotamus
The hip hop hippo
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
My lyrics are bottomless
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorous
Poppin' off the top of this esophagus
Rockin' this metropolis
I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
Steve.
My rhymes and records they don't get played
Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
And if you rap like me you don't get paid
And if you roll like me you don't get laid.
My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment
I made all of the ladies in the area pregnant
Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist
But you lovely bitches and hoes should know I'm trying to correct this.
Other rappers dis me
Say my rhymes are sissy.
Why? Why? Why?
What?
Why exactly?
What? Why?
Be more constructive with your feedback, please. Why?
Why?
Why, because I rap about reality?
Like me and my grandma drinking a cup of tea?
There ain't no party like my nanna's tea party.
Hey! Ho!
I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'
Who's the motherflippin?
I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'
Motherflippin'
My beats are fly and the birds are on my back
And I'm horny
I'm horny
If you choose to proceed you will indeed concede
Cos I hit you with my flow
The Wild Rhino Stampede.
