Flight of the Conchords’ first full-length album — titled, conveniently, “Flight of the Conchords” — contains nothing we haven’t already seen on their eponymous TV show. In fact, three of the songs also appeared in altered forms on the comic folk duo’s 2007 EP “The Distant Future.” But as it turns out, familiarity does not detract at all from the album’s likeability — the songs are possibly even funnier on your iTunes than they were on HBO.

This review piqued my interest to look up the Conchords--the "little slave kids" and the Hip-hop lyrics, especially, made me laugh aloud even as the incisive social critique went down. I don't post comments to Scene usually, but the music coverage this week is great. Keep up the good work.

The leggie blonde lyrics are a direct reference to the show. Murray couldn't come up with lyrics and thus wrote those really bad ones, but what to expect from the band manager. xD
