Yeah, another post about Flight of the Conchords, possibly the best thing about living in 2007. Check out Bret You Got It Going On on youtube. Lyrics below!
Jermaine: Would it be gay to write you a song, to cheer you up?
Bret: No.
Jermaine sits on his bed, picks up his guitar and notepad.
Jermaine: It's called, Bret You Got It Going On
"Bret you Got it Going On"
Hey there Bret, I see you lookin' down
Don't want to see my little buddy there with a frown
Just because I get more women than you
Well that's just because they don't know you like I do
Sure you're weedy, and kinda shy
But some girlie out there must be needy for a weedy shy guy
They want you as the needle when they're rolling in the hay
Just hear me out when I say
Bret you got it going on-hon…
The ladies will get to know your sexuality
When they get to know your personality
I said, Bret you got it going on-hon…
Not in a gay way
Just in a 'hey man, I wanted to say
that you're lookin' ok man'
Why can't a heterosexual guy
Tell a heterosexual guy
That he thinks his booty's fly
Not all the time, obviously
Just when he's got a problem with his self esteem
Don't let anybody tell you that your not humpable
Because you're bumpable
Well I hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable
If I say you got a boom - ow ow
C'mon Bret, help me out now
Bret you got it going on (Bret Sings: 'You got it going on')
That's the conclusion, that I've come to
But that doesn't mean that I want to bum you
Bret you got it going on (Bret, reluctantly: You got it going on)
No doubt about it, we'd be gettin' crazy
If one of us was lucky enough
To be born a lady
Oh!
If one of us was a lady
And I was your man
If I was your man
Well sometimes
It gets lonely
And I nee-heed a woman
And I imagine you with some bosoms
In fact, one time, when we were touring
And I was really lonely
And we were sharing that twin room in the hotel
I put a wig on you
When you were sleeping, I put a wig on you
You-ooooh, oooh
And I just laid there and spooned you
ooh, Bret you got it going on
End of Song
Jemaine: So, hopefully that made you feel better
Bret: Can I please have a look at the lyrics
Jermaine hands him the pad - Bret snatches it.
Bret: This is another one of your weird songs, man.
Jermaine: In what way?
Bret: That bit, 'sometimes I put a wig on you when we're on tour.'
Jermaine: Put a wig on you? No. Didn't say anything like that.
Bret: That's definitly a bit gay.
Jermane: What is?
Bret: Putting a wig on me while I'm asleep.
Jermaine: I think, sometimes you hear what you want to hear.
Bret nods.
Jermaine: It wouldn't be gay to put a wig on a man and pretend they're a woman. How can that be gay if you're pretending they're a woman?
pause
Jermaine: Not that I did that.
