Carol Brown- Flight or the conchords cover (Official Video)

- Cover of my favourite FOTC songs, how good is Julia Robertson in this? She saves me. Also huge thank you to powerhouse Davis Jensen, who usually films real movies with expensive and heavy cameras, but I believe flourished when I made him direct, shoot and edit from an iPhone.

![[LQ] "Carol Brown" (Choir of Ex Girlfriends) - Flight of the Conchords](/img/1.gif)
It's like watching a musical comedian caterpillar metamorphosize into a slightly larger musical comedian caterpillar with a larger production budget
From Cardy the caterpillar to
Cardy the C A T E R P I L L A R
not even a butterfly, just a bigger caterpillar
i've never seen anything described better
And of course while in his cocoon, someone misplaced him and was told to check his butthole
The ol Jon Lajoie treatment
The song is fantastic. But why is this nice lady singing with a policeman?
Edit: nice, now the FBI is on my tail. Much love from Brazil!
I’m not a cop.
@@tomcardy1 You look like a cop!
@@mtavsen i might or might've not seen an unmarked van
@@tomcardy1 Yeah, definitely a cop....
@@tomcardy1 I also think that you’re a cop.
I love Tom's idiot smile he does while standing still with an instrument
Hey! It's not just me
Have a good day Bat Potatoes
I hope you mean the part @2:54, it's so damn good
@@jona.scholt4362 no he means 3:11
It's like he's waiting to be photoshooted.
I like how he said “I got Bruced again” like it had happened on multiple occasions before!!!!
I LITERALLY COULDN'T BE FUCKING HAPPIER THAT YOUVE COVERED A FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS SONG OH MY GOD
I was about to criticise the name of the song when I saw this 😅
THANK YOU. I was wracking my brain trying to remember who originally did this song.
That's how a guy lands those fat, natty subs.
The mad lad he actually did it
He even nailed the bad english.
the amount of people in these comments who arent realising this is a cover speaks volumes about your powers, tom. thanks you legend you
all that means is that a large amount of people don't know about flight of the conchords.
@@mailliw94 I feel silly realizing this AFTER the song is done
What’s it a cover of?
@@tangjtl499 Carol Brown by Flight of the Conchords.
sindex thanks, listened to a few of them, can’t say I’ve heard of any of their stuff before, Jemaine (I think, the one with the sideburns) looks familiar though.
The way that Tom changed the ending tone (around 2:35) is pure genius. That's exactly what I always thought the original song was always missing.
best part of this cover in my opinion
@@SmickyD definitely
The “I thought I told you to shut up” is so much more like a tantrum and perfectly captures how they called him childish. It’s the best change I’ve seen in a cover to date
I think the original is perfect, as is Jemaine’s delivery of ‘I thought I told you to shut uh uh up’. But this is still good in that it doesn’t copy the original.
It almost feels sacrilegious to say this, considering this is also my favorite FOTC song, but I actually prefer this version over the original… The way he hits the “I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO SHUT U-U-UUP” toward the end is so satisfying and honestly gives me chills. Fantastic cover!
It takes it to a new level. I love that part too.
I know what you mean, I think FOTC deliberately downplayed their production values to give it the feel of being a rough-around-the-edges thing made by just a couple of amateur lads trying to make it in the biz. I'm not trashing them by saying that, it's just the characters they were playing.
Tom's taken that and made it as clean and professional as he possibly could and it works, because the song itself is good enough to support that kind of treatment.
Also Julia's vocals are on another level, and the video is so cleanly produced. The whole team knocked this out of the park.
@@excrubulent I wish I could give this comment an award.
@@excrubulent I find it hilarious that Tom a relatively new artist is trying his best to make a professionally made cover of the song and on the other hand FOTC might of tried to imitate an amateurish version of the song.
Agreed
THE EDITING IS SO FUCKING GOOD WTF I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE A VERTICALLY SHOT MUSIC VIDEO
on an iPhone even!
Look for St Augustine and his favorite son
Tom's genuine outburst of laughter at the end makes me giggle every time
YES! It's so genuine too.
My life has markedly improved since I found Tom Cardy
Saaaame
@@brookeworley5140 and mine also absolutely
I couldn't agree more
Julia going absolutely ham on the back of the bleachers really kills me. Love the production on this!
When people ask me my type, I'm just gonna show them that.
Can we acknowledge Bruce’s amazing contribution
Alright Bruce .. I mean "Ross" :P
Julia and Tom have the same sense of humor and it adds decades to my life expectancy.
I don't understand at all why this is not your top-viewed video. I feel like I've watched it 100 times.
Because the original is much more interesting and better.... maybe?
@@glp.1337 I think it's possible to appreciate the original separately from this one.
@@andersonimes1892 I guess it isn't? Which is why it's not one of the top-viewed videos?
Because it's not original content. Love Tom's stuff but doing a cover takes a lot less effort than content creation.
@@calosbabos I can see why you think this is lower effort than his other videos. Custom arrangement of a song. On location filming. Custom graphics. It's lazy, really.
Is Julia the voice throughout the album? She's a great edition and enhances those songs so well
Julia's fantastic but I can't find any links for her own stuff. I want to see what else she's done!
@@owenatkinson5744 Hey, did you end up finding anything? Amazing voice.
@@UnfoldedDoll sadly not. Maybe she's just a super gifted hobbyist singer who likes to help out her friends?
My first thought when hearing your music was how much your humor reminded me of FOTC - it was a pleasant surprise seeing this cover on your album! That would be wild if you could find a way to collab with them 👌
And what exactly would he be adding to the mix?
@@glp.1337 it's a collab.. Calm ya farm
@@DarkAvenga No it's not? Do you have any source on that?
@@glp.1337 you said "And what exactly would he be adding to the mix?"
Why wouldnt you want them to work together?
@@DarkAvenga Again, you're claiming this already is a collaboration. I can't find any sources that verify that claim. I asked IF they were to collaborate (which isn't happening right now)... then what would he be adding to the mix?
I never said I am against them working together. I'm just wondering what he would add to the mix, since this video was an opportunity to showcase ones talent and he didn't use it at all. He just tried to make an exact copy without any creativity of his own.
I like how in this song you can tell Carol Brown is the only one that _really_ left a wound. No goodbye is always worse than a bad one
I feel like Flight of The Concords would be jokingly offended at the fact that an Aussie covered them.
I find it really hard to describe how much I like the sequence at 2:24
The the scene itself, along with the editing and the acting, I find to be so good.
Totally agree. One of my favorite parts of any song to be honest. I love the zoom on his face when he says shut up, the sudden change from soft to loud with Julia’s angelic background vocals. Just so good
Absolute legend. If I squint my ears, you almost sound like a Kiwi.
them’s fightin’ words
I like your funny words, magic man
This guy makes me smile everytime. Even when i am looking for a shoulder to cry on.
I was trying to make a reference about H.Y.C.Y.BH. video and a shoulder to cry on, but apparently RUclips bots delete my comments as inappropriate. If a bunch of weird replies appear, do not be spooked.
@@DeonGaming lmao
I glad that Tom keeps the stereo of all Australians having a mustache and chest hair in the shape of Australia going.
Holy shit dude, this was some high quality stuff. Fantastic! +1 to Davis Jensen for that editing.
Also props to Julia for having the guts to crash land on grass in a white dress.
I'm guessing that side of her dress wasn't white anymore hahaha
Furthering my view and love that you’re a mix of flight of the conchords and chromeo
My god, no wonder I love his songs so much.
Oh man. What is happening?! This must be what it's like to see someone start at the bottom and rise to the top. Another amazing song accompanied by an even more amazing music video. What's it been, like a week since your last video was released? Incredible you can release things this quickly. You must be 'le fatigued' my friend. Keep up the great work Tom!
it's a cover
@@Kazavop you're a cover
I'm aware it's a cover, it still takes tremendous effort to crank out the videos, edit the music, etc, etc, even if he did save some time because the song was already written. Not sure if that's what you were insinuating with your comment, but if it wasn't, I don't know what the fuck point you were trying to make.
@@kegastamm8273 haha
@@Burnz-de9of Maybe the point was that it's not a tremendous effort if you don't change the source material. It's the equivalent of drawing over another drawing using see-through paper. But people are easily amazed nowadays, so it seems.
The whole part after 2:04 just gives me goosebumps. Their singing and the instrumental is insanely good
The chorus is legitimately beautiful. In a completely non ironic way
Seeing the Thumbnail: Wait like… Carol Brown from Flight of the Concords?
After: IT IS!
Everyone is talking about the fantastic song and here I am wondering how Dave's workflow looked while doing this project.
1:31 - Thats my favourite part of the song. I just love the way her voice is edited, its so angelic
Anyone notice at 2:02 its says Moana in the messages, because Jemaine Clement in FOTC was one of the voice actors in Moana
I'm so happy to see you doing a cover of Flight of the Conchords.
Every upload is a blessing
One month in and more than a hundred times listened to this song, it's still absolutely perfect. It's just adorable, dorky and uplifting.
Check out Flight of the Conchords if you liked it! They wrote the song and their stuff is just brilliant. Same style of humour as Tom
I've gotta be honest, I think I might love this version more than the original. 😂 The choices you made in a few spots made the song hit harder than it did otherwise. Noice job Tom.
I love this song so much I haven't listened to FOTC songs in a long while.
No idea why this isn't doing as well as the rest of the album on Spotify...it's great! I hope this comment ages like milk.
It's a cover of a Flight of the Conchords song. It's a really good version, though.
I love milk.
I think its because all the other songs already got uploaded to his channel, so people listened tho those first, But now that this song is on youtube as well it will probably get alot more listens on spotify as well
It should be on there now
As much as I love Tom, Julia catches my heart every damn time :o
Totally lost it at 1:51 but for real... I love the arrangement, great mixing, harmonies in the last chorus are super pleasant. I dig this so much, tons of positive energy! We need more cops like you in the world.
and that's just the tip
Its so refreshing hearing Tom's voice in such a gentle and delicate tone...!!!
Julia and Tom together create magic 😁 Also, Davis, whoever you are, your editing is amazing!
I dislike commenting on videos if they are older. But my gosh, I can’t stop listening to this cover.
Coming from a massive FOTC fan, and have been watching them since forever ago, I honestly think this cover is better than the original.
Your transition in the last chorus is absolutely perfect.
Seriously, do more of these please, even if it’s more FOTC music, I would like to see your take on more pieces.
I imagine there's about to be a lot of parodies of this on Hinge, which will either lead to dates or a lot of confusion depending on how hip the recipients are.
I've been a Conchords for ages, and I think this is the first cover I've seen that even comes close to doing them justice.
Maybe we'll all get lucky and you'll get your very own amazing show that the rest of the world will ignore.
This is honestly the prettiest video I've seen filmed vertically.
You have such wonderful FOTC energy, like the love child of Murray and Brett, and this cover is excellent down to every detail!
Omg you're right
This would absolutely kill it as a hinge profile
Love the character break at the end. We have the same laugh.
Man, I really love the editing so much, like holy shit man, the editing was absolutely bangin
I prefer this to the original. Like others have said, the extra emotion at the end sends the song to a new level. The video is really well edited and a fitting concept.
Tom's music has gotten me to smile and sing along in dark days, and is the cherry on top of good days.
Davis the Director is definitely the unsung hero of this song. I love the editing
Damn, now they're the 6th most popular comedy folk acts in New Zealand
I’m so impressed ever time Tom uploads, it makes me so excited when I see his videos pop up in my feed
This man is a national treasure, I would kill to see him collaborate with Gus Johnson.
Julia is killing it! She looks like such a fun person to work or hang out with.
I have been listening to the full album all week and when heard this cover of the flight of conchords song I loved it. You nailed it.
Such an amazing cover, especially towards the end. The great editing made it me want to rewatch to read all the text. I am also a fan of bringing home shiny objects I find on the ground
2:43 I see you hiding under the bench there
I remember listening to this on your album while falling asleep and just getting lost in the beautiful composition without keeping track of the lyrics. The flow and melody and EVERYTHING is just such a good time. You're so freaking good man
Listened to this a good dozen times over the month - awesome!
One of my favorite FoTC songs, and well covered. Great video.
Just simply amazing. One of my fave FOTC songs as well, and you did awesome job with the editing and style of the whole video! Can't wait to see more!
The editing is top notch, and Julia's range is just so sooo good!
This is my favorite FOTC song - great update to the arrangement. You're killing it dude. You're hilarious obviously, but I hope people also realize how excellent your production skill and musicianship is.
Awesome production value. This guy is going places. I've already watched his subscriber count grow by like 4 fold in as many months. Well-deserved!
Yay!!! FOTC cover! Keep up the great work, Tom! Your music brings light when we all need it.
Awesome to see we get to see more of gorgeous Julia! Well done both of you!
Woah can't believe we've been blessed with a Conchords cover! Incredible work Tom :)
Julia just busting out powerful dance moves in the background is life giving honestly
Julia is such a great singer! Love all your songs together
Beautiful!! I’m so happy to see you keep growing, Tom!
This is such a lovely cover, and you did a great job editing this together, I loved all of it!
As a Canadian, Heh, its the first time I hear this song, its quite entertaining, and your cover really touch the original. Julia is awesome as always! Keep up the good work Tom!
i love the range of emotions that you experience during this song. its like you are along for the ride in his ups and downs and you really hope that he gets his special someone. but we all know that he did. bravo Tom.
This makes me feel happy, Tom. This is one of my favorite Conchords song and you did it wonderfully!
In a year Tom gets 1 million subs on his channel. It has to be, this is soooo good.
I just can’t understand how this man pumps out so many amazing songs one after another. Bless you, Tom
This one is a Flight of the conchords cover anyway
this is a cover of a flight of the conchords song.
I can't stop playing all of your music. I absolutely love your energy Tom.
Thanks Tom, 2 years later and still living rent free in my head. Still coming back and listening on repeat. Got Bruce'd yet again.
i was surprised to hear this in the album, but it was good
Ffs I'm not gay, but since you keep insisting yes, let's get married Tom. YOU HAPPY NOW?
Hi, friendly neighborhood bisexual just checking in to tell you that you're right to want to marry tom.
Indulgent jokes aside...Mr cardy this is one the most beautifully shot AND organic feeling music videos I have watched in a long time. The creativity you put into the small details of the visual storytelling is nearly equal to your lyricism. Thanks for making it, youve been great to listen to and watch. Hope you see this.
This video is so perfectly composed while also remaining witty and engaging. Not to mention the amazing cover. What a gem.
Please continue to do more stuff with Julia Robertson! Your stuff is always great Tom but her voice is amazing and I cant find her in anything other than your stuff?
I think this is better than the original - also the cinematography/animation/videography is top-notch - the camera shake on "I thought I told you to shut up" cracks me up each time
Such a cheerful colour scheme! A very happy cover of this brilliant FOTC gem :)
I, for one, absolutely loved the editing on this video!!
We demand a 'Business Time' cover on the next album. My fav FOTC song.
Also, love the new album Tom, hilarious stuff 👌
I always suspected FOTC was a huge influence for you. I got to say, you freaking nailed this man. Dare say, better than the original. top shelf
This is just amazing. Like, wow. You have a wonderful talent my friend
I forgot about this song! Thank you for making this cover and rekindling my joy of it.
A+++
I think Tom covered the perfect song and the editing is many much good👍👍
Man your lyrical talent is off the charts.
Also super psyched to see Julia collab with you (I for one hopes she sticks around)
This is a cover of a Flight of the Conchords song. Tom didn't write this.
@@slashingraven ah okay didnt know that haha, I just assumed he tinkered with the lyrics somewhat like he usually does
Oh this song brings back memories of one of the best shows ever and Tom just killed it with this rendition. Simply perfect
One of my favs on the album. I’ve heard this song already like 20 times
I'm not crying.... I'm making a lagsana for one.
One of my favorite songs being performed by someone quickly becoming my favorite comedy musician
This has been stuck in my head for a while. Amazing job Tom but I need this out of my head now
“Bruce has left the chat.” Gets me every time.
What an amazing cover! I love the synths, the vocals, the gd outstanding video editing!
