When my crack research team and I first began to watch HBO's Flight of the Conchords, the first thing that caught our attention was it's infectious theme song. The song is just simple bass, guitar and drums set over a rhythm of synthesized bleeps and bloops and probably wouldn't get much notice if not heard again and again throughout a television series. But what I discovered was that as we got into Season One, I was quietly becoming more and more mesmerized by the catchy steel string acoustic guitar part of the theme song. But by the time we had begun the second season, the theme had become showcase for the bass line as the layer grabbed at my ear, transforming the theme into something that it had not been before, and all without ever having changed a note.
