Flight of the Conchords are a comedy duo from New Zealand. They do mostly music parodies. In North America, they are best known for an HBO series that ran for two seasons. They are from Wellington, NZ. Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie were classmates at Victoria University of Wellington studying film and theater. in 1998 they started performing as part of the comedy group So You're A Man. They split off and performed on TV in New Zealand in 2000. Their big break came when they performed at the 2002 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This led to a BBC Radio series and an appearance on the HBO comedy series One Night Stand. It also led to a record deal with Sub Pop which tied in with the Flight of the Conchords series. It ran for two seasons on HBO. They recorded two albums for Sub Pop. We're Both In Love With A Sexy Lady is from the second album I Told You I Was Freaky. It appears on episode six of season two of the series. It's a parody of a typical R. Kelly song. Since the TV series ended in 2009, Flight of the Comchords have reunited a few times including for a 2018 HBO special. They haven't recorded any new music. Clement and McKenzie have individual careers in films and TV. Clement seems to do a lot of voice work. And he played Oliver Bird on the FX series Legion. McKenzie was music supervisor on the 2011 film The Muppets and the 2014 film Muppets Most Wanted. He won an Oscar for The Muppets. Variety recently reported that McKenzie will develop a feature film adaptation of the 1977 Jim Henson TV special Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. He is also working on Bob The Musical for Disney and Moonland for Warner Bros. That should keep him busy. Here's the video for We're Both In Love With A Sexy Lady by Flight of the Conchords.
