Garfunkel & Oates Are Awesome

garfunkel and oates

 

That is Garfunkel & Oates aka songwriter/actresses Riki Lindhome (blonde one) and Kate Micucci (brunette).  They’re a comedy-folk duo who have released the album “Music Songs”.  And this is a post about how awesome they are.  Below the cut I’m gonna have a ton of YouTube videos so you’ve been warned.  It’s so worth it though you will laugh for hours.

 

OK we’ll start with them doing a cover melody, just to ease you into the Garfunkel & Oates experience:

Do they look familiar to you?  Riki (Garfunkel) is quite an accomplished actress and has appeared in “Pushing Daisies”, “Last House on the Left”, “Changeling”, and much more.  Kate (Oates) is also pretty accomplished, appearing in many different tv shows.  She’s probably best known for appearing in Scrubs, where along with a few of her own songs and some covers she did a Garfunkel & Oates song, although they changed it slightly and it was done with the character of Ted.  You can watch the Scrubs version here.  But here’s the actual G&O version:

This is a song that I have a feeling most girls out there can relate to:

 

I Would Never (Have Sex With You)

This one was written based on a Pat Roberts quote that legalizing gay marriage would lead to legalizing sex with ducks:

Finally they take a turn for the ghetto with a rap song about douches:

So I’m clearly in love with these two.  They’re funny, cute, and brilliant.  You can check out more about them at their website.  They play the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre in LA a lot.  Oh and you can buy their album either on iTunes (or help me out and buy it on) Amazon:
