Flight of the Conchords
I Told You I Was Freaky

Music
It's the songs from the second season.
There are many more electronic sounds, deployed to best effect in Too Many Dicks (On the Dance Floor) – but, having used up a lot of their primo material in the first series, the pitfalls of writing under pressure are evident in Demon Woman, the dippy Fashion Is Danger and the title track.
On the bright side, Rambling Through the Avenues of Time is one of the funniest things they've done, and Sugalumps is a scarily good R'n'B parody. The Conchords' strength is still live performance – the television versions of their songs can sound overproduced (Petrov, Yelyena and Me being the example here), and it's unadorned numbers like You Don't Have to be a Prostitute, Friends and Carol Brown that work best.
Best tracks: Rambling Through the Avenues of Time, Carol Brown.
