I am excited about this. Properly properly excited.
I turned on the telly when I got in this evening, and guess what I found? Flight of the Conchords. Some of the Glee cast. In THE SAME EPISODE of The Simpsons. I am pretty sure that I have died and gone to TV heaven.
For the un-initiated, Flight of the Conchords are a musical comedy double act who come from New Zealand, make a TV show set in New York and are just about the best thing sinced sliced bananas. In fact, I'm astounded that I haven't done a FOTC themed SNMC club before now. *
In The Simpsons they play two camp counsellors who work at a Performing Arts summer camp attended by Lisa. You know what the weird thing is? I spent today with a friend who I first met when we were both working as counsellors in an American summer camp. And you know what's even weirder? I was wearing (and am still wearing*) my favourite t-shirt, which looks like this:
Do you know who those people are? Do you? DO YOU? Only FLIGHT OF THE BLIMMING CONCHORDS, that's who!!!
Any-hoo, here they are:
Also exciting: according to the credits, that is Stephen actual Hawking singing. I really really hope the credits aren't lying.
* So astounded, in fact, that I'm almost starting to think that perhaps I have, and I've just forgotten that I did it. If anyone has a better memory for these things than me, or just more of an inclination to trawl through old posts and check, then knock yourself out. And please let me know.)
**Possibly not any more, by the time you are reading this. I do take it off to wash it, sometimes.
