"There is only one kind of dance" "The Robot"..."And the Robo-Boogie"... "There are only two kinds of dance"
Yes, I'm sick, and staying home. Bleh. The good news is next week is my vacation. The bad news is that it's kind of silly to have to use a sick day the week before your vacation. Oh well.
My new favorite thing? Flight of the Conchords. OMG. These guys are so funny... especially their "Robot Song". I have cried laughing at least 3 times from watching it, and that's saying a lot. So... go and YouTube it. I'll wait.
Hmmm hm humm...
(tapping foot)
(looking at watch)
WAS THAT NOT THE FUNNIEST THING EVER??
They are these 2 guys from New Zealand, who had/have a show on HBO; (sort of) based on themselves, moving to NYC and trying to become famous and perform with their band. They have an inept manager (who is also works for the New Zealand tourism board, and has all sorts of travel New Zealand-type posters in the background that say things like "New Zealand ROCKS!!!" with a huge picture of a rock, or a picture of something very green that says "New Zealand; Just like Lord of the Rings!" You get the idea.) who, despite having no money, connections, or gigs for them, made them a music video on his camera phone. They also have one fan/stalker who is always hanging around outside their apartment, sometimes with her husband who she drags along. They have really silly conversations, and Bret always wears some godawful thriftstore sweatshirt from the seventies with an animal on it (like a tiger or an eagle)...
I can't even really do it justice; but the Robot Song is just enough to give me hope for the future of entertainment. So, yes. You should put them in your Netflix cue.
