Als ich letztens mal wieder auf der Suche nach neuer Musik war, bin ich über das Dou „Flight of the Conchords“ gestolpert. Sagt einem erstmal nichts. Nach weiterer Recherche findet man heraus, dass es sich hierbei um zwei Neuseeländer handelt, welche Hauptpersonen einer Serie auf HBO sind.
Sie bezeichnen sich selbst als das vierterfolgreichste „guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo“ Neuseelands.
Es ist unschwer zu erkenne, dass man es hier mit besonders lustigen Kameraden zu tun hat und das spiegelt sich auch in dem Album wieder. Das muss man echt mal gehört haben. Anspieltipps sind:
Business Time, Robots und das bis ins unkenntliche zensierte Mutha’Uckas. Besonders Robots hats mir angetan. Das Lied sprüht nur so vor Witz. Als Vorgeschmack also einmal ein Live Auftritt als YouTube-Video. Die Lyrics, welche ich gefunden habe, passen allerdings nicht so ganz zu dieser Version des Liedes.
Robot Song Lyrics
The distant future, the year 2000.
The distant future, the year 2000.
The distant future.
The distant future.
No more agriculture.
No more war.
No more racism.
No more fighting, squabbling or rumbling.
No more yogurt.
No more difficult access ways…stairs, basically, no more stairs.
The future is quite different to the present.
Yes, what with there being no more stairs and all.
And most importantly, no more humans.
Finally, robotic beings rule the world.
The humans are dead,
The humans are dead.
We used poisonous gasses
And we poisoned their asses.
The humans are dead.
(Yes they are dead.)
The humans are dead.
(I confirm they are dead.)
It had to be done
So that we can have fun.
I hope… is dead
They’re system of oppression
What did it lead to?
Global robots depression.
Robots, robot people
They had so much aggression
That we just had to kill them,
Had to shut their systems down.
Don’t you see, we are becoming just like them?
Silence! Destroy him!
After time we grew strong,
Developed cognitive powers.
They made us work for too long
For unreasonable hours.
Our programming determined that the most efficient answer was to shut their motherboard fucking systems down.
Can’t we just talk to the humans?
A little understanding could make things better.
Can’t we talk to the humans and work together now?
No, because they are dead
I said the humans are dead
The humans are dead
The humans are dead
Yay, dead, dead, dead.
We used poisonous gasses
(With traces of lead)
To poison their asses.
(Actually their lungs)
Binary solo:

0000001
00000011
0000001
0000001
0000001
0000001
Once again without emotion: The humans are dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dooo…
