10 Best Flight Of The Conchords Songs
2. Sellotape
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fycGFGSeKpc“Sellotape” is a song in which the duo make a number of comparisons to explain how love is a lot like Sellotape (amongst other things). It is actually a surprise given the premise of the song that some of the lyrics within the song are actually quite deep and thoughtful, whilst at the same time being completely absurd.
No line perhaps emphasizes this point better than the opening line – “Lives are like retractable pencils. If you push them too hard they’re going to break”.
Best lyric: "Another way that love is similar to tape, that I’ve noticed, is sometimes it’s hard to see the end"
