Pulp Comedy - Series Five, Episode Two (Flight of the Conchords)
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2000
We had never heard a parody song like this before, that fawned over the artist instead of mocking them. Would people laugh if it wasn’t mean? We didn’t care if they didn’t laugh, we were obsessed. We were in some kind of writing fever.– Jemaine Clement on writing 'Bowie', The Spinoff website, January 2014
We would make up our own Bowie song and play it in our stupid hobby band that had a gig every second Thursday in Wellington. Despite being technically unable to carry off the originals, we would create our own David Bowie song.– Jemaine Clement on writing 'Bowie', The Spinoff website, January 2014
