Born in Cadiz, I graduated in English Studies and now live as an EFL teacher and as an EN-ES translator. Films, graphic design and geek stuff are some of my other passions.
Flight of the Conchords - Jenny (w/ optional English subtitles)
Activity: "What a hilarious misunderstanding!"
Grammar point: Reported speech (statements + questions).
Level: Intermediate.
This song was part of the comedy duo's half-hour performance on One Night Stand, broadcast by HBO in 2005. In "Jenny", a woman (Bret McKenzie) and a man (Jemaine Clement) meet each other in the park, and a series of misunderstandings start to happen.
STUDENTS:
Pay attention to the song (in case you need them, English subtitles are activated by default) and take notes about what these people say to each other. After the video, your teacher will ask you some questions and you'll have to answer using the reported speech.
TEACHERS:
This song can be used just after you have explained the reported speech, as the song is slow and clear enough so students can understand it with or without subtitles. The first time I used this in class it was a success: it served as a great way to practise the rules for reporting statements as well as a funny way to introduce reported questions. Once they learned them, students could also describe what Jenny and Brian ask each other throughout the song.

I’ve swore for years that’s Dane Cook laughing in the audience
Bloody fantastic. How have I missed these guys here in UK ?
Thank you sir, have a sub.
I've had an idea to put together like a movie Tenacious D nice Flight of the Conchords and somehow I would like to put the Mighty Boosh in there as well but I don't think that would work but just Tenacious D meets Flight of the Conchords and they just collaborate that would be so freaking awesome. But nobody listens to my ideas they just steal my got hurt feelings
I love them ❤
Love them so much!
Perfect example of why American Idol has fallen so far from its glory days. What a horrible song almost as if they intended to make them look bad. That song is horrible and couldn’t be sung by any singer. So bad.
Then why'd you listen to it-?
Remember first hearing these lads like a decade ago. Hilarious, the adults that showed us them were in absolute tears! Good times! 🤣 Legends.
This goes wrong in so many ways 😂
We went for a walk. On our feet if I remember correctly..
I'm not eating as many sandwiches
