I've been having a bit of a panicky kind of day, thinking about submission deadlines,how it's so difficult to just start writing, how I should be working harder and for longer hours etc Then I decided to look at some YouTube links friends had sent and found myself stifling uncontrollable laughter, leading to silent stifled-laughter-tears... It felt SO good and seemed to relieve that panic-induced headache. Check these guys out on YouTube: 'Flight of the Conchords', 2 kiwi guys who do hilarious spoofs on different types of songs. See in particular 'Think about it' (Marvin Gaye's 'What's goin on') and 'Rhymenoceros vs Hiphopopotamus' :-)

Flight of the Conchords is fantastic! I too highly recommend them to all.

If you work in IT or arts/humanities this may tickle your fancy.

I am so in love with flight of the conchords!! so glad its not just me slowly failing my phd because i can't stop watching the clips on you tube. (ps, best song has to be "if you're into it.")
