    That song took me on a journey I wasn't expecting! I was a bit surprised that you two got through it without laughing and Alfie's voice was fantastic!

    Thanks to the original artists and the Marsh family for bringing the song to more people, like me, who'd never heard of "The Flight of the Conchords". Beautiful, funny, poignant.

    I had never heard the song before - it took me to a place of both tears and smiles. I lost my dad when I was 19, so many years ago, and still, as a woman, I wish I could sit on his knee and talk. So different from your usual songs AND a duet. Thank you.

    Like as how the narrative changes from the soppy boy and dad to the real reasons for why the boy and dad end up meeting. Great rapport between the two of them.

    Thanks to you two and CC option I could follow every word. I loved Flight of the Concords but my poor hearing couldn’t pick up all their words. Such a song for our time and beautiful delivery. You let their poignant words soften into something heartwarming to watch.

    I love this video. You all are such a loving family Shame that I don't have my Dad (or as I called him, Papa; he died in March 1986) ...and my mother and I don't get along (because she is narc-y and controlling). I live in an apartment in a retirement community that takes disabled residents under age 62. I miss my Papa.
