  • Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros
    Flight Of The Conchords
    HBO One Night Stand
    Bret :
    Yeah uh-huh yeah yeah
    They call me the, Rhymenoceros not because I'm fat,
    Not 'cause I got birds on my back
    But because I'm horny, (I'm Horny!)
    When I'm on the mic I'm like global warming you can't ignore me,
    In bedroom, I'm the gentleman the ladies come before me,
    Check your Yellowpages I'm a registered Rhymenocologist
    Now I'm passing over the mic to the, Hipopopotamus!
    Jemaine :
    Yeah they call me the Hipopopotamus, my lyrics are bottomless
    Bret :
    Sometimes, my rhymes are polite like, "Thank you Mrs. Johnson for dinner that was delicious, goodnight."
    And other times they are obscene like a pornographic R-18 dream, about bitches smothered in margarine, haa haa haa haa, haa, (Gun Noises)
    Jemaine :
    They call me the Hipopopotamus, I got flows that glow like phosphorous, popping off of the top of this esophagus, I'm not a water-dwelling mammal from Africa that's moved to the metropolis and been taught how to break dance, where did you get that preposterous, hypothesis, did Steve tell you that?
    What's he got to do with it?
    What kind of rapping name is Steve?
    Steve...
    Bret :
    Other rappers (Dis Me)
    Say my rhymes are (Sissy)

    Bret :
    What 'cause I rap about reality? Like, me and my Grandma having a cup of tea.
    Bret and Jemaine : There ain't no party like my Nana's tea party, Hey! Ho!
    FreeStyle Begin
    Bret :
    Freestyle! Hipopopotamus! Freestyle, Hipopopotamus Style!
    Jemaine :
    I'm Freestylin'! Just saying what comes into the top of my head! Like it's just, R-Random! R-R-Random!
    Umm, Oooooh! Ooooh!
    There's a picture of New York! There's a picture of New York! There's a big, fat, crazy picture of New York!
    I'm just free- New York! Fre-Freestyling the- Picture of New York! Freestyling!
    Sometimes When I freestyle, I loose confidence....
    FreeStyle Ends
    Jemaine :
    My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment, I made all of the ladies in the first two rows pregnant.
    Yeah that's right sometimes my lyrics are sexist, but you lovely bitches and hoes should know I'm trying to correct this cause...
    Bret :
    When I say "Oooh" all the ladies go "Ahh",
    "Oooh" ("Ahh"),
    "Oooh" ("Ahh"),
    When I say "Oooh" all the fella's go "Arf Arf",
    "Oooh", ("Arf Arf"),
    "Oooh", ("Arf Arf"),
    But keep it really sexy fella's,
    "Oooh", ("Arf Arf"),
    "Oooh", ("Arf Arf"),
    That's my dogs
    When I say "Oooh" all the ladies got "Oooh, Flight of the Conchords, You're so Big!",
    "Oooh", ("Oooh, Flight of the Conchords, You're so Big!")...
    Ooh, Wow. Thank You, Wow.
    Jemaine :
    Thank You ladies, you didn't have to say that.

    Hey guys! My dad took me to one of your gigs at this teeny tiny theatre in Wellington called Bats theatre I think it was 1999 because I guess I was around 8. I was absolutely blown away and thought you were amazing, I remember going to school and telling them about this song haha. At the time none of them had heard of you but of course a few years later everyone knew your names and songs. My dad passed a few years later and this is still one of my favourite memories with him so thank you for the amazing show, we had the best time ❤️❤️❤️❤️
