The second season of Bret and Jemaine’s hapless musical adventures didn’t disappoint – here are the hits we can’t stop humming

“It’s about a couple of deadbeat guys who have got nothing going on …”

Flip! Say it ain’t so! Was last night’s episode really the last-ever outing for Flight of the Conchords? If so, it bowed out on a typically understated high, with Bret and Jemaine funking out on a farm back in New Zealand, shepherds once more, after failing to make it big in Murray’s off-Broadway musical about their life. Before the second series of their lo-fi musical adventures in New York aired, there was talk of second-album syndrome having set in – apparently everything was taking longer to write because they’d used up a lifetime’s worth of material on the first. But now that it’s finished, it doesn’t seem to have really been that much of a problem. It’s been one of the proper joys of recent TV, with Murray, Mel and Dave all given more screen time (even Doug got to shine a little at the end, with his manly harp) and peppered with little details like the NZ tourist board posters in Murray’s embassy office (“It’s not boring in New Zealand”), Lucy “Xena” Lawless’s cameo, Bret’s airbrushed animal jumpers and Jemaine’s forbidden love with an Australian.

Here are five of the best songs from the season. Will you ever be able to listen to Visage again?

Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor: “You guys are dorking on my vibe!”

Sugar Lumps: “The ladies go crazy for my sugar lumps”

Dreams: “I have some cookies for you in my fanny pack!”

Stay Cool: “Bret – cool your jets!”

Fashion Is Danger: “Thatcher. Th-th-th-Thatcher. Jazzercise. Lip gloss.”
