Jemaine Clement (left) and Bret McKenzie: Witty musical parodists play witless musicians in Flight of the Conchords.

This interview was originally broadcast on June 14, 2007. You can listen to the complete interview with Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie here.

Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, aka the folk-parody band Flight of the Conchords, hail from New Zealand. They were named best alternative-comedy act at the 2005 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival.

They starred in an acclaimed HBO series called Flight of the Conchords — which was about two transplanted New Zealanders living in New York City's Lower East Side.

Clement and McKenzie join Fresh Air for a conversation and a few songs.
