Sunday night’s installment of the Kiwi-rock comedy Flight Of The Conchords doubled as the premiere of two Michel Gondry-directed music videos, thanks to the Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind director getting behind the camera for the episode. Above, the clip for the half-sweet, half-sour “Carol Brown” (which, Vulture notes, borrows a slide-projector motif from one of Gondry’s earlier music-video efforts); after the jump, the ode to dude-filled dance floors “Too Many Dicks,” which somehow has not been mashed up with the Lonely Island’s “Jizz In My Pants” yet despite the two songs sharing a lot of similar DNA. (Uh, no pun intended there.)

actually, jizz in my pants is more like FOTC’s inner city pressure.
(sorry – i’ve been obsessed with both lonely island & FOTC lately.)

(another apology if this is double posted.)
Bmore’s own Claire Hux was way ahead of FOTC on the problems of dicks and their location on the dance floor.
I love that they got the original Cowboy from the Village People in there!
The Linear-Edit-Controller and TV-Switcher Guitars just gave me highschool A/V nerd flashbacks like WHOA.
<3 Gondry. So hard.
is it me or does the chorus of ex-girlfirends at 1.40 sound uncannily like a Gnarls Barkley chorus? not that there is anything wrong with that, just wrecking my head so it is
someone back me up here its uncanny but i cant say the gnarls song off the top of my head, could be surprize.
Was that Dennis Franz at 0:48 of TMD?
@sablesma: i was about to post this myself, i’m glad you jumped on it
silkyjumbo: YES, correct – Jizz has far more in common with Inner City Pressure as both are homages to Pet Shop Boys.
I love Carol Brown, really lovely song (I’ve not seen this episode) – I normally find list songs a cop out, but with the FOCC humor it really in nice. And I think the projector effect is quite beautiful. Like it even more than the White Stripes video.
I just watched Carol Brown 2 more times, I think this is one of their best songs ever. And I almost spit some coffee at “Mona, you told me you were in a coma”. Hahaha.
