hopin' that you'll stick around

Even though this idea has been done to death by everyone from Paul Simon to They Might Be Giants, this may be my favorite Flight of the Conchords song/video clip of all time. From the Michel Gondry direction (lovin' those giant instruments) to the meta "Who organized all my ex-girlfriends into a choir and got them to sing?" to the melancholy lilt of that repeated line "Carol Brown just took a bus out of town...", it's all pretty stupendous. After kind of a mediocre first part of the season, it's nice to see FotC hit a high note again. This has just the right mix of pathos, quirkiness, and genuine hilarity (along with a song that's actually catchy yet complex) that made the first season worth watching.
