I Told You I Was Freaky by Flight of the Conchords
I Told You I Was Freaky is an album by Flight of the Conchords, released in 2009. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Carol Brown”, on 2 lists with a best position of #21.
Flight of the Conchords, the Wellington duo of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, delivered their second album, I Told You I Was Freaky, on Sub Pop on 20 October 2009 in America, with the UK getting it on 2 November. They were coming off a Grammy for Best Comedy Album in 2008, and their HBO series was just winding up; ten of these 13 songs had already been sold as singles on the American iTunes Store once they had made their debut on television.
Mickey Petralia produced, and he dresses the gags in genuinely slick clothes, so the parody works because the grooves would stand up even without the punchlines. "Hurt Feelings", "Carol Brown" and "Too Many Dicks (On the Dance Floor)" all found their way onto the countdowns, while "Demon Woman" ended up in a downloadable track pack for Rock Band, which feels about right for an act that has always been half joke, half real deal.
