  • Hilarious Misunderstanding (Jenny)
    Flight Of The Conchords
    One Night Stand
    Bret: Hello
    Jemaine: Hi
    Bret: Hello man sitting in the park
    Jemaine: I just said hi, woman in the park
    Bret: How you doin?
    Jemaine: Mmmmm good thanks
    Bret: Your looking good
    Jemaine: Pardon?
    Bret: I said you're looking good
    Jemaine: Fair enough
    Bret: Jenny
    Jemaine: Pardon?
    Bret: Jenny
    Jemaine: No I'm sorry I think you've mistaken me for somebody else
    Bret: No it's me, I'm Jenny, my name is Jenny
    Jemaine: Oh You're oh 'oh' Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
    I thought oh, what a hilarious misunderstanding
    Nice to meet you Jenny
    Bret: We've met before - quite a few times actually
    Jemaine: Yes of course we have. I meant it was nice to meet you that time that I met you. Where was it that we met that time that I met you when I met you?
    Bret: At a party
    Jemaine: That's right! Wasn't it one of those boring work parties?
    Bret: No
    Jemaine: That's why I said wasn't it. It was the party of a mutual friend. - Was it? - Wasn't it? - Was it? - Wasn't it?
    Bret: Yes it was
    Jemaine: Yeah, I thought so. Oh, Bobby's
    Bret: No
    Jemaine: Doug's?
    Bret: No
    Jemaine: D-dog's?
    Bret: No
    Jemaine: Maxwell's?
    Bret: No
    Jemaine: Andy's?
    Bret: Yes Andy's
    Jemaine: Yeah Andy's party, ooh that's right. Ooh, Andy knows how to throw a party, doesn't he Jenny?
    Bret: Yeah, I love Andy's parties!
    Jemaine: I love Andy's parties. What crazy parties. How is that guy anyway?
    Bret: She's good
    Jemaine: Ooh that's right, Andy hates it when I forget that
    Bret: We watched a movie
    Jemaine: Yeah'it was something like but not necessarily Schindler's List. We watched it and we wept
    Bret: It was Police Academy 4. We went for a walk
    Jemaine: On our feet if I remember correctly
    Bret: We walked to the top of the hill and we ate sandwiches
    Jemaine: Oh, We'd just grab a sandwich and put it in our mouths. Oh, that's the only way to have sandwiches. Oh Jenny, tell me do you still walk? Do you still get into sandwiches in a big way?
    Bret: Still walk a lot but I'm not eating as many sandwiches as back then
    Jemaine: Ohh
    Bret: Do you remember what we did up there at the top of the hill?
    Jemaine: Kind of
    Bret: We were standing at the look out
    Jemaine: Oh, I remember exactly what we did at the look out. We just looked out' across the city from our little spot on the hilltop. Oh, It is so pretty from way up there. We talked about how the lights from the buildings and cars seemed like reflections of the stars that shined out so pretty and bright, that night
    Bret: It was daytime
    Jemaine: The daytime of the night
    Bret: Do you remember what you said to me?
    Jemaine: Not word for word actually Jenny, but I remember there was some verbs
    Bret: Well you said meet me here in one year. You just needed some time to clear your head, and you seem to have done that
    Jemaine: La la la la la la la la la la la la la
    Bret: We have a child
    Jemaine: Pardon?
    Bret: We have a child
    Jemaine: Why didn't you tell me, Jenny? Why didn't you tell me that day when we went to the top of the hill and we made sweet, oh how we made such sweet, sweet sandwiches. Does it have my eyes, my way with words? Does it look like me at all?
    Bret: No, not at all 'cause we adopted him. I can't believe you don't remember, it was a very difficult process!
    Jemaine: Oh'uh, ohhh are you sure that was me Jenny?
    Bret: Yes I am pretty sure that it was you, John
    Jemaine: I'm Brian
    Bret: Oh my god! I'm so sorry!
    Jemaine: Uh, Don't worry
    Bret: Now that's terrible.
    Jemaine: Oh, don't worry.
    Bret: Oh, how embarrassing!
    Jemaine: Uh, Don't worry Jenny, actually I'm kind of relieved. That kind of thing just happens all the time, I just got one of those faces I suppose
    Bret: So does John, ha, he's got one of those faces as well'
    Bret and Jemaine: Awkward Laugher

    Bret: Well how you doin'?
    Jemaine: Mmm, um, good, thanks.

    Bret: Jenny.
    Jemaine: Pardon?
    Bret: Jenny.
    Jemaine: No, I'm sorry, I think you've mistaken me for somebody else.
    Bret: No, it's me, I'm Jenny. My name is Jenny.
    Jemaine: Oh, you're--oh... Oh, I... ha ha ha. Oh--I thought--oh. What a hilarious misunderstanding. Nice to meet you, Jenny.
    Bret: Oh, we've met before--quite a few times, actually.
    Jemaine: Ah, oh, yes, of course we have. I meant it was nice to meet you the time that I met you. Where was it that we met, that time that I met you, when I met you?
    Bret: At a party.
    Jemaine: That's right, wasn't it one of those boring work parties?
    Bret: No.
    Jemaine: ...That's why I said "wasn't it". It was the party of a mutual friend... Was it?...Wasn't it?...Was it?...Wasn't it?

    Jemaine: Oh, I love Andy's parties! What crazy parties! How is that guy, anyway?
    Bret: She's good.
    Jemaine: Oh... that's right. Andy hates it when I forget that.
    Bret: We watched a movie.
    Jemaine: Yeah... it was something like but not necessarily "Schindler's List". We watched it and we wept.
    Bret: It was "Police Academy 4". We went for a walk.
    Jemaine: On our feet, if I remember correctly.
    Bret: We walked to the top of the hill and we ate sandwiches.
    Jemaine: Ah, we'd just grab a sandwich and put it in our mouths. Oh, that's the only way to have sandwiches. Oh, Jenny, tell me, do you still walk? Do you still get into sandwiches in a big way?
    Bret: Still walk a lot but I'm not eating as many sandwiches as back then.
    Jemaine: ...Ohh.
    Bret: Do you remember what we did up there at the top of the hill?
    Jemaine: Kind of...
    Bret: We were standing at the lookout.
    Jemaine: Oh, I remember exactly what we did at the lookout. We just looked... out... across the city from our little spot on the hilltop. Oh, it was so pretty from way up there. We talked about how the lights from the buildings and cars seemed like reflections of the stars that shone out so pretty and bright, that night.
    Bret: It was daytime.
    Jemaine: ...The daytime of the night.
    Bret: Do you remember what you said to me?
    Jemaine: ...Not word for word, actually, Jenny, but I remember there were some verbs.
    Bret: Well, you said, "meet me here in one year", you just needed some time to clear your head, and you seem to have done that.
    Jemaine: ...La, la la la, la, la la la, la la la la la la la...
    Bret: We have a child.
    Jemaine: ...Pardon?!
    Bret: We have a child.
    Jemaine: Why didn't you tell me, Jenny? Why didn't you tell me that day when we went to the top of the hill and we made sweet, oh, how we made such sweet, sweet sandwiches? Does it have my eyes, my way with words? Does it look like me at all?
    Bret: No, not at all, because we adopted him, I can't believe you don't remember, it was a very difficult process!
    Jemaine: Uh, ah, oh...? Eh, uh, are you sure that was me, Jenny?
    Bret: Yes, I'm pretty sure it was you, John.
    Jemaine: ...I'm Brian.
    Bret: Oh my god, I'm so sorry!
    Jemaine: Oh, don't worry.
    Bret: No, that's terrible!
    Jemaine: Oh, don't worry!
    Bret: Oh, how embarrassing!
    Jemaine: Aw, don't worry, Jenny, actually I'm kind of relieved. That kind of thing just happens all the time. I just got one of those faces, I suppose.
    Bret: So does John, he's got one of those faces as well.

    I see a lot of lyrics comments. Sure, they are clever and funny, but the music, man... When he says "We just looked... out!" The key change is absolutely brilliant. It's truly moving and perfectly fits the narrative. The real genius is that the lines that follow are exactly what you would expect from one of those songs that define a generation. Songs like Brown Eyed Girl, Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest, Never Tear Us Apart (the INXS song, if that isn't the right name), or a Springsteen and the E street band tune.
    In my opinion, this is easily one of their best songs based on that one part. Sure, it's a comedy song from a comedy group, but every now and again you get top tier songwriting and composition. Another beautiful stroke of genius is the outro to Ladies of the World. Hauntingly ethereal and completely unique. It would have been a smash hit on the charts if it was any classified as any genre other than comedy. Musically, it is more innovative and amazing than any number of typical songs.
    As Jermaine says, "You've got it going on, FOTC."
