In the first season of Flight of the Conchords, hapless manager Murray writes a love song to the leggy blonde who has stolen his heart. He previews the song to the unenthusiastic band: "'Hi....' that's all I've got so far."
Bret's response is one I've adopted for use at work: "It's better than I expected."
Bret McKenzie picked up an Oscar nomination for this track for the Muppet-affiliated movie last year (I posted so many fake out trailers I'm not actually sure, but maybe the "too easy to be right" The Muppets). EGOT pontificators note that he already has a Grammy and 6 Emmy nominations. Which is to say he has Grammy (like Paula Abdul, but not like Liza).
I have no sense as to whether this, or yesterday's track by Sergio Mendes et al, will win. I'm kinda betting on the other, only because that's got big elaborate production, like "It's Hard Out Here (For a Pimp)" (are there parentheses in that song title?) which is the only Oscar-winning song I will reference for this morning.
Song: "Man or Muppet"
Artist: Jason Segel and Walter
