Flight of the Conchords Blogging

Iain and I have been totally behind on FOTC this season, which began a few weeks ago; we're still one episode behind, and, consequently, my FOTC blogging has been in the shitter. Forgive me, Shaker Conchordians.

So far this season, I am majorly in love with "Sugarlumps" (purchase here; lyrics here), which just brilliantly underlines the disparity in how we regard women's and men's bodies via the dissonant absurdity of objectifying, commodifying, and fetishizing testicles.

The rap interlude proffered by pawn shopper Dave also serves (quite likely not by design, lol) as an excellent commentary on the culture of disembodied parts we regularly discuss.

It's not a half-bad send-up of the truly insufferable "My Humps," either.

I just love it endlessly. Enjoy.
