I'm standing outside a Wellington house.
It's not any ordinary Wellington house.
It's the house of New Zealand's hottest folk comedy duo, Flight of the Concords.
Whee!
And here they are.
Hi.
Hi Richard.
Hey.
So, how's it been going for you guys?
Not too bad.
Probably the best it's ever gone.
And now you have to make North America laugh.
It's belly full.
Yes, well put.
We're from New Zealand and
It's very exciting to be here in America.
Flight of the Concords [A] are deadpan about everything.
They're musicians whose [D] songs are long running jokes.
Nice to meet you Jenny.
We've met before.
Quite a few times [G] actually.
[D] Oh yes, of course [G] we have.
[D] [F#m] I meant it [G] was nice to [D] meet you the time [C#m] that I met you.
[Gm] They play at being bumbling lads from [D#] a nowhere [G] place called New Zealand.
Here they are on US television last year.
Yep, US [D] television.
It was this [B] performance in New York that got them signed up to do their own [D] series for the cable network HBO.
[N] It seems incredible that not only are you going to get on American television,
you're going to get on American television as comedians from New Zealand.
Yeah, well as musicians from New Zealand.
Our characters are musicians.
But still you're allowed to speak the way you speak, aren't you?
Yep.
New Zealand.
That's [E] right, yep.
You're not going to have to develop that.
Yeah, that's pretty unusual.
So the Americans will have to watch us and try and understand our accents.
And sometimes they don't understand what we're saying.
I think they love that.
Yeah, that's a sort of charm to us [G] I guess.
They charmed them in Austin, [G] Texas earlier this year at a music festival.
And when Americans raved at them, the Concordes not so much curbed their enthusiasm,
as strained it through their [F] teeth.
In America you're supposed to say, we're going to take over the [E] world.
We're going to [N] own Comedy Central.
Nah.
Nah, that's not going to happen.
Deadpan.
It's a perfect situation really.
[G] Come over to [F#] Texas, play in a tent.
Most people aren't listening.
[Dm]
Girls like the Concordes because they [D#] sing about being [A] boys in need of girls.
[D] And when I saw [A] you at my mates place, [F#] I thought, what is she [Am] doing at
[D] my mates [Bm] place?
[A] You're so beautiful.
[D]
You could [D] be a waitress.
[B] You [G] lead me into the bathroom, thank you.
[Gm] [D#]
Go [Gm] brush your teeth.
I said no.
She's a good girl.
[N] You're already fighting off the women and you're not even trying.
Yeah, as you [Em] can see, it's crazy here.
[C]
More fantastic [A] down there.
They're turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers.
What's the real cost, because the sneakers don't seem [Bm] that much cheaper.
[C#] The Concordes became the [Bm] Concordes [N] by failing at acting.
We never got our short listening test.
I auditioned as a doctor.
Yeah, something like that.
You could be a good doctor.
I could be a doctor, what's wrong with that?
But we sort of failed in that way, so we decided to start a band.
And then through starting the band, we've got a TV show, sort of in the reverse order.
But of course, they're still acting just slightly.
It's a little bit of acting as ourselves, I think.
Yeah, it's a very blurry line, like our characters, Brett and Jermaine,
are very [F#]
loosely based on ourselves.
But mine's a little bit ruder than I am.
Mine's slightly more naive.
It's stupider than Brett really is.
I'm not actually that stupid.
Brett's [C] wife is unable to have children because she's not a real woman.
She's an imaginary person.
The [G] kids take after her in that sense.
And now their downbeat characters are [N] about to become the way millions of Americans see us.
We'll become very, you know, sort of, could become quite iconic New Zealand characters in America.
Because there aren't any other New Zealand characters on American TV.
Right, so you'll kind of be like the crocodile Dundee.
When he gets to Australia, he'll be doing it for us.
That's right, I'm afraid.
I'm sorry, sorry New Zealand.
So you'd be pretty reflective of the modern New Zealand man, bloke, wouldn't you?
About right, aren't you?
Maybe, I don't know.
I'm not sure.
[Gm] Next thing you [D#] know, I'm down to just my [G] socks.
[Gm] When I'm down to just my socks, you know what time it is, girl.
[D#]
S-B [Dm]-S -S [Gm]-S-OCKS!
You know when I'm down to my socks, it's time for business, that's why they call business.
[Cm] Oh, S-B-S-S-S-OCKS!
The [D]
Concords certainly have to get down to business [Gm] now,
writing 12 episodes [E] to be screened [N] on US television next year.
They got the contract after they made a pilot episode.
[E] We've had two meetings since they've commissioned the series.
And they were pretty high-powered, intense meetings.
In a room, kind of what people imagine it being like,
or what I imagine it being like, but it never had been in the past.
Yeah, we were just all these executives, American TV executives,
sitting around us and we were at one end.
Yeah, and they just, it was something that they said
We love the pilot!
No, like, we've drawn up a schedule.
You'll see our lives for the next [G#] nine months.
[D#] Enthused by the crowd, Brett has attempted to stage dive.
But will the audience catch him?
No.
It turns out the American audience aren't as supportive as they appear to [D] be.
It's time [G]
to go home.
[F#] If it actually is a success, which you can't really tell,
because shows, you know, they get made and then get pulled off the air.
But if it was, it could be funny,
because then [A] Americans might come to New Zealand as tourists
and be, you know, asking, sort of,
Where's Jermaine?
Where's Jermaine?
We've heard about.
Yeah, alright, yeah.
And then we'll all have to be acting like you guys,
to fill the emotions of the New Zealander.
Yeah, it was setting up a big challenge.
It could be really [Dm] embarrassing to New [A] Zealanders.
Finally, robotic [E] beings rule the world.
[Am] Humans are dead.
[Dm] Humans are dead.
We use [C] poisonous gases.
And we [Dm] poison their asses.
[Am] Humans are dead.
That's right, they are dead.
[Dm] Humans are dead.
They look like they're dead.
It had to [C] be done.
I'll just confirm that they're dead.
So that we could [Dm] have fun.
Affirmative.
I [F] poked one, it was dead.
Their system of oppression.
[G]
What did it lead to?
[Dm] Robo-Robo-Depression.
[C]
Robots rule by people.
[F] They've got so much aggression
[G] That we just have to kill [F] them
And shut their [E] systems down.
[A]
Robo-Captain,
Do not realize that by destroying human race
Because of their destructive tendencies
We too have become like
Well, it's ironic.
Silence!
[Am] Destroy him!
No!
[F] After time we grew strong.
[G] Developed cognitive power.
They [Dm] made us work for too long.
[C] For unreasonable [F] hours.
A problem determined [G] that the most ambitious
[N]
It's not any ordinary Wellington house.
It's the house of New Zealand's hottest folk comedy duo, Flight of the Concords.
Whee!

It's a little bit of acting as ourselves, I think.
Yeah, it's a very blurry line, like our characters, Brett and Jermaine,
_ are very [F#] _
loosely based on ourselves. _ _ _ _
But mine's a little bit ruder than I am.
Mine's slightly more naive.
It's stupider than Brett really is.
I'm not actually that stupid.
Brett's [C] wife is unable to have children because she's not a real woman.
_ _ _ She's an imaginary person.
_ _ The [G] kids take after her in that sense.
And now their downbeat characters are [N] about to become the way millions of Americans see us.
We'll become very, _ you know, sort of, could become quite iconic New Zealand characters in America.
Because there aren't any other New Zealand characters on American TV.
Right, so you'll kind of be like the crocodile Dundee.
When he gets to Australia, he'll be doing it for us.
That's right, I'm afraid.
I'm sorry, sorry New Zealand. _
_ So you'd be pretty reflective of the modern New Zealand _ man, bloke, wouldn't you?
_ About right, aren't you?
Maybe, I don't know.
I'm not sure.
[Gm] Next thing you [D#] know, I'm down to just my [G] socks. _ _ _
[Gm] When I'm down to just my socks, you know what time it is, girl. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
S-B [Dm]-S _ -S [Gm]-S-OCKS!
You know when I'm down to my socks, it's time for business, that's why they call business.
[Cm] Oh, S-B-S-S-S-OCKS!
The [D]
Concords certainly have to get down to business [Gm] now,
writing 12 episodes [E] to be screened [N] on US television next year.
They got the contract after they made a pilot episode.
[E] We've had two meetings since they've commissioned the series.
And they were pretty high-powered, intense meetings.
In a room, kind of what people imagine it being like,
or what I imagine it being like, but it never had been in the past.
Yeah, we were just all these executives, American TV executives,
sitting around us and we were at one end.
_ Yeah, and they just, it was something that they said_
We love the pilot!
No, like, we've drawn up a schedule.
You'll see our lives for the next [G#] nine months. _ _ _ _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ Enthused by the crowd, Brett has attempted to stage dive.
But will the audience catch him? _ _ _ _ _ _
No.
_ It turns out the American audience aren't as supportive as they appear to [D] be.
_ It's time [G]
to go home.
_ [F#] _ If it actually is a success, which you can't really tell,
because shows, you know, they get made and then get pulled off the air.
_ _ But if it was, it could be funny,
because then [A] Americans might come to New Zealand _ _ as tourists
and be, you know, asking, sort of,
Where's Jermaine?
Where's Jermaine?
We've heard about.
Yeah, alright, yeah.
And then we'll all have to be acting like you guys,
to fill the emotions of the New Zealander.
Yeah, it was setting up a big challenge.
It could be really [Dm] embarrassing to New [A] Zealanders.
_ Finally, robotic [E] beings rule the world.
[Am] Humans are dead. _ _
_ _ [Dm] Humans are dead. _ _
We use [C] poisonous gases. _ _
And we [Dm] poison their asses. _
_ _ [Am] Humans are dead.
That's right, they are dead.
_ [Dm] Humans are dead.
They look like they're dead.
It had to [C] be done.
I'll just confirm that they're dead.
So that we could [Dm] have fun.
Affirmative.
I [F] poked one, it was dead.
Their system of oppression.
[G]
What did it lead to?
[Dm] Robo-Robo-Depression.
[C]
Robots rule by people.
[F] They've got so much aggression
[G] That we just have to kill [F] them
And shut their [E] systems down.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ Robo-Captain,
Do not realize that by destroying human race
Because of their destructive tendencies
We too have become like_
Well, it's ironic. _
Silence!
[Am] Destroy him!
No!
[F] After time we grew strong.
[G] Developed cognitive power.
They [Dm] made us work for too long.
[C] For unreasonable [F] hours.
A problem determined [G] that the most ambitious_
