Haven't listened to the playlist yet but Flight of the Conchords is an early favourite for my Billy vote. An utterly predictable and obvious bote-whore. (Knowing this crowd, it will probably win.)

Mildly amusing the first couple of times I heard it, but it doesn't retain much replay value for me. Hardly comedic gold and not exactly a great song. Also a bit pointless without being able to laugh at Jemaine's funny face. (Loved the show, BTW, but short of you-tubing the odd clip, I wouldn't bother listening to their music.)

No doubt, people will give it votes for name recognition and lol-nostalgia reasons, but I prefer to give my votes to the good songs or nice surprises.

I'll keep an open mind when I listen to the album version. Maybe I'll be blown away by the musicality, or maybe I'll discover extra layers to the humour which I hadn't previously considered.

Flight of the concords sucks.
Didn't get my Billy but was in a 3way fight for it

Business time and Most beautiful girl are the only songs from FOTC that I like as songs in their own right.
Carol Brown is my favourite song of theirs, it's a really catchy tune as well as being very funny.

I nommed it for one of the names rounds but it didn't do all that well.

My favourite music wise is "ladies of the world". I'm a big fan of minor chords (which you can probably tell in my nomming and voting lol)

I missed it. I just watch their shit on YouTube. There's some crap songs. "Jenny" gets old and it's seven minutes ******* long. But there's some good too.

But the best is without a doubt business time.
