The story behind the DG-20 is that Jemaine saw it in a pawn shop and thought it was the stupidest instrument he had ever seen. When he later saw Bret, he started to tell him about this dumb instrument he found, only to learn that Bret had visited the same pawn shop after him and bought it.
Not strictly speaking at all how that all happened... It was the third time 'round before I'd been able to even get the Lads to notice that damn MOOGian thing at all. Just like that damn almanac...
just got my very own dg-20, yes, set to electric mandolin, marvelling at the eighties sophistication, and waiting for the girls to start leaping on me...
Jermain's moves at the end get me every fucking time. And for some reason I really want to know where I can buy that shirt he had on the with deer and the moon.
I can just imagine the day that people break in: “Witnesses describe walls lined with synth guitars featuring cheap 80’s synth estimations of what various instruments sound like. The US government has not issued a statement as to why they didn’t just use a Midi conversion pedal, or just learned how to play the Keyboard/Keytar. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more; for channel 0 news, Ive been Jerg Nurgess, signing off.”
This proves that Flight of the Conchords songs don't need to have jokes, or puns, to be hilarious. In a scale from one to ten on this song, I give a 2342352453454352345234523452345234523452352345 on the scale. Favorite.
Not many people commented on the base line for this whole skit. I thought it was awesome (hitting reply now). I have to believe its' been sampled a lot although I've never seen anyone mention it. And the DG-20....can't believe someone hasn't gone viral on YT or as a busker using it as their sole instrument.
Every time I see a vid on YT with a hot chick, I just want to write "She's so hot she makes me sexist", but then I'm not sure how many people will understand the reference.
I thought that at first, but I remembered that there are lots of people who hate this song. I love it. P.S. I love that you called "Robots" by its correct name, besides the "s" at the end, and not "the humans are dead".
The phone is beepin It's B. Booms Boom He's back from 10 years doom n gloom And they say he had his boom chopped off in the boom But the crazy boom still loves to boom!
You're close. The first line is "My boom is ringin." The third line is "Back from 10 years in the boom." Though I believe the updated version had "doom and gloom" instead.
Has anyone else noticed this sounds VERY similar to the Black Eyed Peas 'Boom Boom Pow'?? And I'm pretty sure FOTC wrote this first....So this is where the Black Eyed Peas get their inspiration from aye!

😂 love this story!
Amazing
Dude that’s funny as heck

That's a True Friendship story and I just burst out laughing.
Oscar winning composer Bret McKenzie.
Flight of the Conchords are so hot they're making me sexist.
I hear you
*sixist
@@CecilXIXlol
Their lyrics are sexist, but you lovely bitches should know they're trying to correct this
i could feel my heterosexuality slipping away when jemaine started dancing
I forget that Bret is actually an Academy Award Winning Composer.
Funny, because you certainly don't let anyone else forget.
Doesn't seem like you forgot.
And a Shiny Crab to boot!
@@marilorbastille2821 no, that's Jemaine.
he wrote a catchy song for a muppet to sing - he’s no john williams
Jemaine's sexy dance is definitely on the top 10 list of the greatest things humanity has ever been blessed to witness
You should see him dance in SUGA LUMPS!!!!!!! OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The beginning is so funny when Bret introduces the guitar and its special features, lol!
I love how seamlessly Bret goes from Jamaican to French
I'm waiting for the French bit.
Sacre boom?
When the drum tempo suddenly JUMPS up and the Conchords adjust accordingly. Such bosses.
I think my favorite thing is Brett's deadpan expression. On the TV show he always looked depressed. It was hilarious.
Enough small boom lets boom tha' boom!
just got my very own dg-20, yes, set to electric mandolin, marvelling at the eighties sophistication, and waiting for the girls to start leaping on me...
ed s any yet?
Did you get it?
It's been 6 years... have any lept yet?
We all want to know the efficacy if the DG 20 as a girl magnet, tell us how it went.
He could be dead
Jermain's moves at the end get me every fucking time. And for some reason I really want to know where I can buy that shirt he had on the with deer and the moon.
The DG-20 is being held in Area 51

omg, they're so young!!! ^_^ & Bret, geez! No wonder he was an elf in LotR
i think that some people forget just how brilliant Brett is........ and im bloody sure he was in The Black Seeds too
He was an elf in lord of the rings
Brett's the boom king. ;)
i received my Casio Dg-20 in the mail yesterday and immediately set it to mandolin
I just had a hard day at work, I came right home and played this and I feel way better :D
you like BOOM ... I like BOOM ... enough small BOOM ... let's BOOM the BOOM-ah ....
my God that never gets old
"Like a bride and Boom" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAA
3:09 GET IT JERMAINE
I love Bret's little dance with the DG20.
always loved this. that beat is fire.
I wish Murry would make a cameo during their concerts.
This is the clip I use when I need to get going in the morning
Very well shot, and nice shoulder moves. Fascinating beat too.
This proves that Flight of the Conchords songs don't need to have jokes, or puns, to be hilarious.

Idk if they have but something tells me if these guys did the Apollo they'd have to do multiple encores
Back for more in 2024!!!!!!
This is the best version. Better than album, HBO series, etc.
Not many people commented on the base line for this whole skit. I thought it was awesome (hitting reply now). I have to believe its' been sampled a lot although I've never seen anyone mention it.
And the DG-20....can't believe someone hasn't gone viral on YT or as a busker using it as their sole instrument.
when they sing live it's better than the studio version. it's much funnier live
0:17 Yeah pretty accurate since people are rediscovering it now lol
look how sweet brett looks when he crosses his legs in the beginning :) haha
this one is so good even my mom and grandma got a kick out of it!
I wonder how they come up with these lyrics....I love it
Every time I see a vid on YT with a hot chick, I just want to write "She's so hot she makes me sexist", but then I'm not sure how many people will understand the reference.
Pawn shop in the future. Priceless.
"moves like jagger"? pfft...more like "moves like jermaine"
Better than anything Shaggy ever did
I have this on my mp3 player I love it - love them
This is so boom!!
I love them with all my heart
from the pawnshop in the future They don't remember why either...
first day of spring
WHAT IS NASA'S 'SON OF CONCORDE' X-PLANE?
a messenger that reaches out from the distant past
Jan Brady is being reviewed... 24:00 tick tock... Won't be a problem tomorrow or ever again L7
ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDS
I'm laughing so much that my ears hurt
The DG-20 is EPIC!!!
jemain sure has away with the ladies
Best thing to sing a long too
WHO'S THE BOOM KING?!?
"Bret's the BOOM KING!!!" I love the way Jemaine nods toward Bret encouraging the audience. It's so sweet and SEXY. SWEET GUYS ARE SEXY!!!!
I have never been more attracted to two men in my life
Literally
He's the boom king !
Yo it sounds like the Voidz used this basis as the song Dare I Care. I see you Julian Casablancas
1st day of spring 321
You do know that number means less than one, on a scale from one to ten on how awesome this song is.
how can you possibly dislike this?!
It is not "you the most Boom Boom I ever met. A Boom Boom"
It is: "you the most Boom Boom I ever ment to Boom Boom"
Who's the boom king?
Little known fact, that dance is how Jermaine got the part of "Macho Man" Randy Savage in MIB 3....
I thought that at first, but I remembered that there are lots of people who hate this song. I love it.
P.S. I love that you called "Robots" by its correct name, besides the "s" at the end, and not "the humans are dead".
i always boom boom boom till the break of boom.
Jemaine could be the next Batman.
Boombastic.
@VallejoQuiles if you're lucky ebay.. im 99% sure casio discontinued them awhile ago... had a buddy who managed to get one for about 300 dollars.
My favourite part
I'm so glad I managed to find a Casio DG-20 on eBay for about £120. Thats gonna be worth so much money in the future.
is it worth more now?
@@MadmicadXP2 ebay says about 2-500$usd
Cool, Nu-metal ReggaeTallica.
@0:25, I love watching Jemaine's reaction to Bret's DG-20. It's guitar-envy. lol
The phone is beepin
It's B. Booms Boom
He's back from 10 years doom n gloom
And they say he had his boom chopped off in the boom
But the crazy boom still loves to boom!
You're close.
The first line is "My boom is ringin."
The third line is "Back from 10 years in the boom."
Though I believe the updated version had "doom and gloom" instead.
Fast forward selector!!
Love Bret's NZ jumper!!
I dig this! Bret could easily be a great reggae artist, imo
I don't know if that was a joke but he was in a reggae band before FOTC.
Can I ship Flight of the Concords with Garfunkel and Oates?
Tyler Frost you a crazy boom!!
Tyler Frost You like Boom, I like Boom
Enough small Boom lets Boom the Boom ahh
That actually works pretty well
That's impossible... it can not be!... NOOOO... your right....
Please. Ain't nobody got moves like Jemaine.
This BOOM is so BOOM, i can't get BOOM of it...
brett why are you not on tv at the moment too!!?
2:51 wish I could see them when they came up with this bit :')
People can't compete with this shit, it's so fucking boom boom.
Someone needs to cover this
why am I discovering that only now?
@boratsbird Got to be the funniest bit in that song
@JayKaboom orchestra bells.

Yeah.
Boom indeed...
You like boom!
I like boom!
Enough small boom let's boom the boom!
Well, in the comment above, mjrMaximus, called the song "robot" when its called "Robots" you see.
P.S. thanks for posting this.
oh my boom!
making me sixist : P
Has anyone else noticed this sounds VERY similar to the Black Eyed Peas 'Boom Boom Pow'?? And I'm pretty sure FOTC wrote this first....So this is where the Black Eyed Peas get their inspiration from aye!
Hmmm space guitar 🎸
From the pawn shop in the future... You know the one.
@rammstein116 thats right, it's a pawn shop.
I like this version more than the show version lol
Who the boom king!?
see you're looking at my boom boom. WHAT?
five people couldn't go boom
I duno which version is better, this or the version that was on the show
I know, I was referring to another of their songs, "robot" with the binary solo.
Jemaine.
I got one of those guitars for free from a foreclosed house's trash! Its broken though :( ... do I call a guitar shop or a computers shop?
