Flight of the Concords, "Inner City Pressure"

My good friend Scott sent me this video from The Flight of the Conchords, a new show on HBO.

Let’s just say it’s reminiscent of a British dance music institution that got its big start in the late 1980′s and this skit parodies their breakthrough video (and first big hit). They have also been a defining force in queer music over the past 25 years. Can you guess who their inspiration is?

    Nope, but it’s a duo for sure. Another clue: Lead singer was a journalist for Smash Hits in the early 1980′s.

    For some reason the video embed isn’t working for me (probably my office blocking it), but I’m gonna guess… Romanovsky & Phillips!

    :grin:

    I’m completely obsessed with the Conchords. Just do a search in YouTube. I almost peed my pants watching the vids yesterday!
