Flight of the Conchords: Farewell to Jackson

As I sit writing in the morning of my last full day before embarking to college, I have a decision to make...Post some heart-wrenchingly beautiful song about moving on and embracing what's ahead (of which I have many) or to put up some classic comic brilliance in the shape of New Zealand's self proclaimed 2nd best comedy band, Flight of the Conchords...I think we all know that the choice was clear.
If you've never seen the HBO show Flight of the Conchords, then I feel infinite sorrow for the woefully unfulfilled existence you've been living, or, alternatively, I envy you in the regard that your heart was not torn asunder when they were cancelled after their second season. Either way, whether you're a longtime fan of dry, New Zealand comedy, or a newcomer to the scene, it's impossible to deny that FOTC are some great blokes with some hilarious songs.
As we have so many times before, on one of our last nights together, some friends and I sang many rousing FOTC songs, and we ended with some surprisingly relevant and (deep?) songs.
First up, perfect for goodbyes, I'm Not Crying:
Then to reminisce on all the good times and ensure future ones, just some friends singing Friends:
Here's to past adventures and future endeavors, and maybe, just maybe, a renewed season of Flight of the Conchords. Hey, I can dream!
