There’s a song that’s stuck in my head. Almost constantly. I refer to it as the “boom boom” song. My favorite lyric goes something like this: “she’s so hot, she’s like curry. She’s so hot, I have to tell her how hot she is. But if I tell her how hot she is, she’ll think I’m a sexist. She’s so hot she’s making me a sexist. Bitch.”

It’s from “The Flight of the Conchords.” It’s in reruns on HBO. All 12 episodes from the first season. It is, hand’s down, the best show on television. The only program, in my opinion, worth watching. And wicked crush on both Bret and Jemaine (isn’t he the guy from the “Outback Steakhouse” commercials?) aside, the rest of the cast is just brilliant, including Mel, who steals absolutely every scene that she is in. I’ve been watching my DVD of the first season and cannot stop. Same episodes. Over and over. And I never tire of a single moment.

I honestly wish I could remember just who’s blog I was reading when I found the video clip of the “boom boom” song. Until I saw that embedded clip, I had no interest whatsoever in the show. Had no clue what it was about, didn’t care. But now? I’m counting the days until the next – and new – season airs, supposedly in January of 2009. Why? Why so long? Why? Why do you do this to me, HBO? First “The Sopranos” and now this? It’s not right.

Anyway, to the owner of the blog that I stumbled on with the “boom boom” clip, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart…
