April 2024 here: 1. This song is now timeless! 2. Jesus, Those kids are now out of high school! 3. Please come back and save music! And some more kids!
Years on, I just don’t understand how this hasn’t made it to a million and a hundred and ten and twenty one likes. It’s just pure comedic genius from start to finish and I still sing the song to with my kids every so often.
Nope, nothing scripted... You have NO IDEA how unscripted everything the Conchords do is... They are probably the most talented people I have ever worked with in any area. The Video crew from Special Problems did an AMAZING job shooting a very fun recording session...
7 years since this came out, I've watched it dozens of times, and I still keep coming back whenever I need to feel better. It always puts a smile on my face. Never fails.
For all you non kiwis this is who was singing In order of appearance: Flight of the Conchords (Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie) Brooke Fraser Dave Dobbyn Savage Boh Runga Sam Scott and Luke Buda Ruby Frost Zowie Rikki Morris Nathan King Victoria Girling-Butcher Peter Urlich Elizabeth Marvelly Cherie Mathieson Maitreya Moana Maniapoto Young Sid, PNC, Tyree, Deach Kids of 88
Aw man, I've got tears in my eyes. The innocence of the bairns, Jemaine then Brett cracking up? Ah, fantastic. I burst out laughing. Still got a big grin on my face. Essentially, "We should have more babies, harvest their teeth, then extort the Tooth Fairy for all the money. A million, plus a hundred, plus ten, and then twenty one". Solid business structure right there 😂😂
Just the bestest comedy, uplifting without being corny. I understand that Jemaine and Bret have moved on to different things, but wouldn't it be great if they made another series?
I’m so sorry for your loss Janet.I’m thinking of you. I hope you’re doing well and am glad you were able to crack a smile on such a horrible day. Take care
I've never seen Jemaine and Bret break so much, this is SO great! and if this isn't "connetcing with the kids" I don't know what is - pure genius! the nostalgia, the fun, the good cause...the staples with the "eh", Mh", "no yeah" absolutely HAD ME I need them back so much
April 2023 and my girls (7 and 6) put this on my phone on drive home, having heard it at school - finding this video was uplifting. I'd forgotten about this song, but it's an absolute banger - never seen the full with-kids version before! The song lives on!
One of the most darling and sweetest things I've ever had the pleasure to watch...and the song came out totally 'catchy', too! What a cool thing that all of these artists' come about for a good cause...loved it!
What an outstanding song. This song makes me proud to be a New Zealander. The Flight of the Concordes have done a brilliant job This has to be one of the most unique songs ever. Awesome work Brett & Jermaine & Friends
Absolutely BRILLIANT in every aspect....from concept to performance. My favourite spot is where the big, somewhat rough looking rapper dude sings in a gruff voice "We all just want to be bubbles". Well done....everyone....I must have watched this video a dozen times today.
249 people who do not *feel inside* 😨 Thank you for uploading. Great video. Fantastic song. Wonderful to see NZ come together to save the kids 😍🔥✌💋👍😴😎👥👥👥
Just bought this on iTunes, don't know why I waited so long. This song rocks! And these kids are amazing... would be cool to see what they thought of this video once they were older!
What a great tribute to NZ, and all for a good cause. My wife and I have lived overseas for a while now, so this was such a great way to remind us what kiwis young and old are like. So much talent from the artists, and so much awesomeness from the kids.
today I watched a 14min of complete gold on the internet. Ironically, 14 years of knowing Bret and Jemaine. How many easter eggs you got out there FOTC! :D
This video makes me very proud to call NZ home somehow :), what an amazing job you all did to put this together. Great you listened to our wise kids! Bless you all
Bret and jermaine are such great guys and to see them use their humor in an inspirational and meanningful way makes them that much better. funny and heartfelr
That moment when you post a question on youtube asking why they don't say "pound" instead of "dollar" in a video full of people from New Zealand.......... so glad there's a "delete" button.
I am watching this in the dark beside my sleeping husband and baby and like full body shaking trying not to laugh because this is so friggin funny. Holy shit. "stop blowing all your money on couches!" I am dying!!!!!
Petition to get the guys back for Red Nose Day ten years on and interview the same kids as teenagers
YES
@@_Micha___ hello from farmer Joe
Hi davey.yes we are in this bowl together.
Thats actually a fantastic idea
That would be so amazing!!!!
Yes! That would be amazing!!
I also love how Jemaine gets her to agree that Bret's songs were derivative.
That little girl is adorably precocious.
Made even better since Bret won an Academy Award Oscar for that song
"I wanted to turn into a bubble" Magnificent kid logic.
This is still the best video on the internet.
And still is today
Probably about the 4th best
And still today.
And still today
@@KRAGH5 Whoa I haven't been to this video in like 6 years and there is still a comment from 1 minute ago
I love how Bret reacts to the little girl saying "NO NO NO, NO more kids"
April 2024 here:
1. This song is now timeless!
2. Jesus, Those kids are now out of high school!
3. Please come back and save music! And some more kids!
I love when Jemaine cracks up at the notion of the people giving them money, and then they give some back, but not as much.
Basic economics according to the US government right now.
@@Skenderbeuismyhero lmao
Literally loans
@@flipzappa893 if you switch "not as much" for "more"
Literally a charity.

I don’t think there is a video which captures New Zealand like this does. Absolutely 100% us. And 4th best.
Sometimes I just watch this when I need a lift. Thanks Flight of the Conchords and all!
+Shannon Coulter Same!! :)

You forgot Massad😂
Their reactions to the kid's ideas nearly made me cry, they're so sweet.
Aw man, I've got tears in my eyes. The innocence of the bairns, Jemaine then Brett cracking up? Ah, fantastic. I burst out laughing. Still got a big grin on my face.

...It's people. I tell you?
9 years later I can still say this is my favourite video of all time
8:32 for those of you who don't know, bret wrote the score for the Muppets. That makes this situation a whole lit funnier
I never knew that! Thanks for telling me!
Great minds think alike
Connor Wilson He actually won an Oscar for it, which makes the kid going along with Jermaine's negative opinion even funnier.
No it doesnt
orikrishna Yes it does.
"John stop blowing all the money on couches"
i completely lost it then :''D
ikr lol
Haha fellow kiwis I'm guessing
+The Mattrix2 John Key is the prime minister, it's referencing the part where the kid said he buys seats and couches.
I know who John key is and where he was mentioned I was asking if the people in the comment thread were kiwis
6:07 is just so perfectly on brand for Flight that I can't actually believe they didn't write that line themselves.
Thanks, UA-cam algorithm. Every now and then you come through with a real gem. 👍
I love how Jemaine breaks character and just falls apart at the "feta cheese" bit.
Just the bestest comedy, uplifting without being corny. I understand that Jemaine and Bret have moved on to different things, but wouldn't it be great if they made another series?
I need them to always be collaborating... but, jermaine is involved in a lot of awesome stuff! What we do in the shadows!? Forget it! Best shit ever.
My Dad died today. This is the 1st time I've smiled. Loved this.
Thinking of you 🙏
So sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss Janet.I’m thinking of you. I hope you’re doing well and am glad you were able to crack a smile on such a horrible day. Take care
@@maxwellk10 almost a year later and I'm hurting as much as I did the day I watched this lovely clip. Thank you for reaching out to me xx
@@maxwellk10 thank you so much for reaching out with so much kindness, I appreciate that so much.
I can't stop smiling for Bret when the they are talking about The Muppets.
"i thought they were very derivative" "haa yeah"
love how bashful Bret gets when the girl mentions the muppets
Bret won an Oscar for that Muppet's song. Yet, I get the sense that little girls appreciation is worth so much more.
@@nickrct I ddn't know bret made that song, then this is so much funnier
John stop blowing all the money on couches. Still one of my fave lyrics.
How lucky are we that it was lambing season.
Yeah nah, the Topp twins are way cool
😂
Bring back the 'Cure Kids' song and spread the good will feeling around the world please. The world needs it!
I loved how they were both giggling to themselves when talking to the kids, kids say hilarious things.
I've seen this clip several hundred times. I hope the donations and funds raised went through the roof.
I love Kiwi humour! You guys really need to bring more of your comedians to Canada!
These guys had a TV show, Flight of the Conchords. Check it out.
Alistair Cross I've watched their show and love it. They are so clever with their songs too.
Their HBO One Night Stand special gets played almost daily around here. :)
TheCanadiangirl4 kiwi humor, or your Trailer Park Boys?
I have the ability to enjoy both Kiwi and Corner Gas humour
When Jemaine talks to children he sounds quite a lot like Richard Ayoade
Yes! I was just thinking that!
I've never seen Jemaine and Bret break so much, this is SO great!
and if this isn't "connetcing with the kids" I don't know what is - pure genius!
the nostalgia, the fun, the good cause...the staples with the "eh", Mh", "no yeah" absolutely HAD ME
I need them back so much
These band meetings are brilliant.
I wish they’d make more seasons
Maybe something between winter and spring?
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 Sprinter?
Or a movie
Nah. It was great until season 3 when they moved to America. Killed the humour.
@@SourceVital fainter?
All these years later, and it’s still the 4th best video I’ve ever seen 😊
i have had this song in my head for a decade and now im back

I don't see how you could dislike this! These guys are doing EVERYTHING right! everyone wins in this situation!
One of the most darling and sweetest things I've ever had the pleasure to watch...and the song came out totally 'catchy', too! What a cool thing that all of these artists' come about for a good cause...loved it!
It's the craziest financial system that I've ever seen...
Brooke Fraser is probably my favorite female singer ! So cool seeing her in this
I always come back to this video, probably watched it 30+ times. It's just so so good. So good!
I’m right there with you too.
Watched when it aired, I’ve watched it plenty through the years and am watching it today in 2022
@@Sayin42 Nice!! It's just one of those that you never want to forget. :)
@@gojuls exactly! Will be passing onto my kids too lol
Can I say it, brung tears to my eyes…. First time hearing this, 11 years late to the party.
What an outstanding song. This song makes me proud to be a New Zealander. The Flight of the Concordes have done a brilliant job This has to be one of the most unique songs ever. Awesome work Brett & Jermaine & Friends
Brooke Frazer... as soon as she sang, i went wow, what a voice, sounds like my favourite Kiwi singer, and it was.
Hayley Westenra, Dave Dobbyn, Kimbra, Brooke Fraser and od course, Flight of the Conchords, sooo many famous NZ names. What a fantastic song.
Still my favorite song of all time
Absolutely BRILLIANT in every aspect....from concept to performance.
My favourite spot is where the big, somewhat rough looking rapper dude sings in a gruff voice "We all just want to be bubbles".
Well done....everyone....I must have watched this video a dozen times today.
How has this gone unrecommended in my UA-cam playlist for TEN FREAKING YEARS?!! I may be a little late to the game, but this was hilarious.
They were really great with the kids, super chill and nice.
Dammit John stop blowing all the money on couches!
I know right! 😂
Flora Eliza John: nah!
I only found this now, and i must say i was smiling and feeling good the whole way through.
Awesome were you feeling inside...
We sing this song all the time at our house. It’s one of our all time favorite songs 🫶🏼
man i love my Kiwi cousins across the 'dutch'. just brilliant...they punch so much above their weight.
7:46 Jemaine's delight is infectious.
Awesome how they literally used what the kids suggested! Awesome work, hope it raised a lot of money!!
10 years later and still made me laugh and cry.
I think everyone everywhere can agree that this is the best charity single ever made.
2021 anyone? Nothing beats this! These keds are darlings.
9 years later I still laugh and almost tear up at this sweet video ❤️
Okay. This is incredible!!!! Wow what a song, made up by all these kids and talent!!
Now whenever someone says "and stuff like that" I always sing this under my breath.
Can't get enough of the Conchords. Wonderful human beings. 🤩😍😭💖💖💖
The best 15 minutes on the entire Internet
249 people who do not *feel inside* 😨
Thank you for uploading.
Great video.
Fantastic song.
Wonderful to see NZ come together to save the kids 😍🔥✌💋👍😴😎👥👥👥
Wow…that was moving, inspiring, and totally unexpected. I thought it would be funny but it was actually very touching and beautiful.
This is beautiful. Just people getting together to help. Humanity can be so beautiful
Just bought this on iTunes, don't know why I waited so long. This song rocks! And these kids are amazing... would be cool to see what they thought of this video once they were older!
I keep coming back to this . A work of pure and utter magic . Love it every time . Thanks lads 🎉
This song just never gets old
One of my favorite videos and songs of all time. Miss fotc, the hip hop part of this is unreal
What a great tribute to NZ, and all for a good cause. My wife and I have lived overseas for a while now, so this was such a great way to remind us what kiwis young and old are like. So much talent from the artists, and so much awesomeness from the kids.
Still a wonderful slice of humanity.
This is so heart warming! I love how jermaine and brett are trying so hard not to laugh when talking to the kids. Bless!
Lockdown in Melbourne Australia, and this is still the best thing on utube.
Bret's face when the girl brought up the Muppet movie! Too cute!
today I watched a 14min of complete gold on the internet. Ironically, 14 years of knowing Bret and Jemaine.
How many easter eggs you got out there FOTC! :D
Watching this makes me miss NZ
+Am Daman Come back then!
This video makes me very proud to call NZ home somehow :), what an amazing job you all did to put this together. Great you listened to our wise kids! Bless you all
Love this video and always seem to come back to it...this is how you do a charity song. It’s both a joke and extremely sincere; brilliant.
Gee this is the first time I've ever hearing them.
Love the engagement with the kids.
Bloody awesome..
This is my go-to clip for when I need to feel joy
What a truly Kiwi video. FOTC characters, dialogue, music are classic comedy
11:20 smoother than butter
Sometimes I come back to this song only for that second lol
Me too, I'm in love with her. Showing my fams this video atm
How have I never seen this before? This is great! The part where they were asking the kids about The Muppets was hilarious.
I love how Murray's just tracing his hand before the phone rings
this makes me so happy to be a new zealander! those little kids are so precious i can't even deal
This is one the best things I've seen in a long time!
Can't expect anyone other than Flight of the Conchords to do something great like this!
I was thinking about this song today then saw it in my feed. I’m glad I stopped by.
I always come back to see Brett and Jamaine trying to hold in their laughter
How am I just seeing this!!? Greatest charity song of all time.
I'm back again, this time with my 8 year old son who loves it as much as I do. And I'm still in love with Brooke Fraser.
Bret and jermaine are such great guys and to see them use their humor in an inspirational and meanningful way makes them that much better. funny and heartfelr
omg, they made children write the lyrics and yet the song fits their style perfectly. You are the best, Flight of the Conchords. Love from Russia
Thank you everyone for this. God I love you all! This is one of the best clips and songs ever written.
That moment when you post a question on youtube asking why they don't say "pound" instead of "dollar" in a video full of people from New Zealand.......... so glad there's a "delete" button.
This vid is the gift that keeps giving
This makes my eyes teary from happiness. Makes me a bubble. I feel inside(and stuff like that)
I am watching this in the dark beside my sleeping husband and baby and like full body shaking trying not to laugh because this is so friggin funny. Holy shit. "stop blowing all your money on couches!" I am dying!!!!!
