Maybe not! Flight of the Conchords - Business Time Oooohhhhh… Awww yeah, girl tonight we’re gonna make love. You know how I know? Because it’s Wednesday, And Wednesday night is the night that we usually make love.
Tuesday night is the night that we usually go to your mother’s place and I teach her how to use the video machine again.
But Wednesday night, is the night that we’re makin’ love… When everything is just right You’re not too tired from your after-work social netball team practice. There’s nothing good on TV.
Mmmmm…
Conditions are perfect for making love. You turn to me and say something sexy like, “I might go to bed I’ve got work in the morning.” I know what you’re trying to say, baby. You’re trying to say “Aww, yeah. It’s business time.”
It’s business It’s business time I know what you’re trying to say You’re trying to say it’s time for business It’s business time ooh.
It’s business It’s business time Aww aww yeah yeah.
The next thing you know we’re in the bathroom brushing our teeth That’s all part of it, that’s foreplay. Foreplay is very important…in love making Then you go sort out the recycling Which isn’t part of the foreplay, but it’s still very important.
The next thing you know we’re in the bedroom, You’re wearin’ that same old ugly, baggy T-shirt with a stain on it that you got from that team-building exercise you did for your old work several years ago. “Team Building Exercise ‘99″.
I take off my clothes But I trip over my jeans ’cause I’m still wearing my shoes But it’s okay ’cause I turn it all into a sexy dance.
The next thing you know I’m wearing absolutely nothing, Except for my socks And you know when I’m down to just my socks what time it is It’s business time.
It’s business It’s business time You know when I’m down to my socks it’s time for business That’s why they’re called business socks ooh.
It’s business It’s business time Awwhaaahawww yeah yeah.
Making love Making love for Makin love for two Making love for two minutes.
When it’s with me, you only need two minutes, girl ‘Cause I’m so intense Two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven.
Mmmm…
You turn to me and say something sexy like, “Is that it?” I know what you’re trying to say, girl You’re trying to say, “Aw yeah, that’s it”
Yhen you tell me you want some more Well, uh… I’m not surprised, But I am quite sleepy.
Mmm…
It’s business It’s business time Business hours are over, baby It’s business It’s business time.
I love decent alt country. Country in general is something I simply can't stand, living across from a ballroom when I was younger helped me develop a healthy detest of the irish 3 chord stetson wearing heros that mangled the countries music charts until the mid-80s. However, with Ryan Adams (early albums), Wilco (any album), Calexico and William E. Whitmore my eyes opened to superior string plucking and story telling. I dont buy most of the "new weird america" scene, but one of the artist being tarred with that brush that I do like is Castanets, basically Raymond Raposa and available session musicians. The sooperb Daytrotter have an exquisite session including an unreleased track. Castanets is signed to Sufjan Stevens Asmathic Kitty label, where you can pick up his albums, or pick up a label sampler for free on last.fm
Anyone familiar with the Wham City phenomena will be aware of the Dan Deacon and his "flatmates" art project. Jimmy Joe Roche and Dan have teamed up for some audiovisual madness, and its up on Pitchfork.tvs' One Week Only yoke - get on it, and decide are these guys talented or nuts!
Those wonderful folks at Pitchfork launched their Pitchfork.tv yoke a few weeks ago, full of superb interviews, vid premiers and live stuff. Current fav is Brooklyn duo's High Places live at the Market Hotel in Brooklyn - yum!
Also, check out the new vid for Foals track, Red Socks Pugie. Yannis and the boys have a gem there. Having seen these boys live in a small tent at Bestival, I was so looking forward to Antidotes. I shouldnt have been surprised to have been a little disappointed by it, especially as they left the crackers Mathletics and Hummer off it, but its slowly growing on me, Im getting used to the brass. Looking forward to them at the Picnic!
