::Names Week:: Flight of the Conchords - Carol Brown

And to finish off Names Week is the grand finale: Flight of the Conchords - Carol Brown, from their second album I Told You I Was Freaky. This album accompanied the second season of their short lived hit show which portrayed two struggling Kiwi musicians trying to make it in the Big Apple. This is the song with the  most names dropped in it all week so I thought it'd make a good culmination entry.

Just watch and laugh and let the sappy hilarious lyrics and the bosa nova, 8-bit sounds tickle your humor button. Bret and Jemaine are truly the kings of humorous folk duos. Ooo, we can eat cereal.

Loretta broke my heart in a letter
she told me she was leaving and her life would be better
Joan broke it off over the phone
after the tone, she left me alone

Jen said she’d never see me again
When I saw her again, she said it again
Jan met another man
Leeza got amnesia
just for got who I am

Felicity said there was no electricity
Emily, no chemistry
Fran ran, Bruce turned out to be a man
Flo had to go, I couldn’t go with the flow
Carol Brown just took a bus out of town
But I’m hoping the you’ll stick around

[Ex-Girlfriends]
He doesn’t cook or clean
he’s not good boyfriend material
[Jermaine]
Ooh, we can eat cereal
[Girlfriends]
He’ll lose interest fast
His relationships never last
[Jermaine]
Shut up, girlfriends from the past
[Girlfriends]
He says he’ll do one thing
and then he goes and does another thing
[Jermaine]
Oh, who organized all my ex-girlfriends
into a choir and got them to sing?
[Girlfriends]
ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh ah-ah
[Jermaine]
Mmm Shut Up
[Girlfriends]
Ahh ahh ahhh aha ah
[Jermaine]
Shut up girlfriends from the past

Mimi will no longer see me
Britney, Britney hit me
Paula, Persephone, Stella and Stephanie
There must be fifty ways the lovers have left me
Carol Brown just took a bus out of town

Love is a delicate thing
It could just float away in the breeze
[Girlfriend]
He said the same thing to me
[Jermaine]
How can we ever know
we’ve found the right person in this world?
[girlfriends]
He means he looks at other girls
[Jermaine]
Love is a mystery
It does not follow a rule
[Girlfriends]
He’ll always be a boy
He’s a man who never grew up
[Jermaine]
I thought I told you to shut u-u-up
Ahh ahh ahhh ah-ah-ah [continued]

Mona you told me you were in a coma
Tiffany you said that you had an epiphany
Would you like a little cereal
Who organized this choir of ex-girlfriends?
Was it you, Carol Brown Was it you Carol Brown

Carol Brown just took a bus out of town
But I’m Hoping that you’ll stick around
Stick around do do do do do do
Stick around do do do do do
Srick around do do do do
Stick around
