NZ Bus Video

Video I made for the Flight of the Conchords Bus Driver's Song from the Folk The World Tour album. Great song - figured it deserved a video to go with it. While this song wasn't used 'as is' in the FotC TV series, many of the lyrics were repeatedly referenced in the episode "New Zealand Town" from season two. The tune also played in that episode. I'm guessing that the idea may have originally been to use the song in a dream sequence for the NZ Prime Minister when he was doing his 'bus tour' of NZ Town. Support the musicians - Get the rare (and awesome) "Folk The World tour" CD exclusively from Smoke CD's in NZ: www.smokecds.com Or get other Conchords albums/DVD's from Amazon: urlsnippy.com

Buses need to use both lanes to make this turn, and one unfortunate bus driver found himself face-to-face with an ambulance responding up the wrong side of the road. The bus couldn't back out of the ambo's way, but the other one convinced the car to clear a path for them both...
