There is so much music from the past that has gone undiscovered. I would like to share those gems with others who are interested in artists and songs that have been forgotten or not yet discovered.

Carol Brown - Flight of the Conchords
Carol Brown is a homage to the Paul Simon song "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover". In "50 Ways" the singer suggests a number of ways that a man can escape an unwanted relationship, including "hop on a bus". In "Carol Brown", Jemaine sings "there must be 50 ways that lovers have left me" and it instead describes all the ways that women have left Jemaine, including "Carol Brown" who "took a bus out of town". Jemaine is accompanied by a chorus of women playing his ex-girlfriends. They sing about his many deficiencies as a boyfriend. If this song doesn't make you smile, nothing will.
